Built with a rustic fishing village theme in mind, Six Senses is isolated on a crescent shaped bay, reachable only by boat. When you see it for the first time you say to yourself “I see that there really is a place called paradise.” Your mood is trans fixed the moment you arrive at this magical beach on Vinh Van Bay.

It will only get better from this point forward. You feel as though you’re on a tropical island except you’re really on the mainland with no road access to the outside world. You have just escaped from the reality of the outside world.

All of the 68 villas are perfectly situated in an eco-friendly setting looking out over this amazingly beautiful bay on the East Vietnam Sea. Only a few of the original trees were removed when constructing the villas so that the natural setting of trees, shrubs and boulders blends together with the villas in a way that makes it feel as though they were always here together. The villas were strategically located between large rocks and trees giving the setting a natural feel of uncommon serenity.
