Amanresorts reveals a new destination: Amanoi in Vietnam

NHA TRANG, Viet Nam - Oct. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Named for the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’ and noi meaning ‘place’, Amanoi is a tranquil retreat situated on a beautiful white-sand beach overlooking spectacular Vinh Hy Bay.

Shaped like an elegant seahorse with its back to Laos, its tail embracing Cambodia and its belly curving into the western waters of the East Sea, Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s most fascinating countries. Its scenic coastline stretches in a sinuous s-shape over 3,200 kilometres from China in the north, to the Mekong Delta and beyond in the south. Famed for its cuisine and its rich history, Vietnam is increasingly gaining recognition for its natural beauty and biodiversity. Nui Chua National Park in particular protects an area of more than 29,000 hectares of pristine coastal and marine habitats in Ninh Thuan Province, northeast of Ho Chi Minh City.

It is on the dramatic coastline of this National Park – one of the country’s largest natural conservation sites – that Amanoi is situated. With the launch of Amanoi, Amanresorts adds Vietnam to its Southeast Asian circuit, with Amanpuri in Thailand, Amantaka in Laos and Amansara in Cambodia already on offer.

The beach town of Nha Trang may be backpacker heaven, but head north to Vinh Hy Bay for the new Amanoi, the latest property by the uber-luxurious Amanresorts.Tucked away in a national park, Amanoi—opened this month—sprawls 100 acres within the lush and vibrant landscape, comprising hilltops, coastlines and a very private beach. It’s a tranquil oasis where the air is fresh, breathtaking views abound and the feeling of being far away from home is ever present. The resort’s design feels more like a gracious, private residence than a hotel. Staff is personable (and treats you like a house guest), centuries-old antiques and contemporary furnishings adorn public spaces and the 31 individual guest pavilions and five villas are strategically set throughout the forest, ensuring plenty of privacy and space.

All pavilions are equipped with king-size bed, sofa, writing desk, LCD TV, wireless Internet and sound-docking systems. Bathrooms feature a stand-alone bathtub with separate rain shower and priceless views of the bay or forestry through floor-to-ceiling windows. Most pavilions also include a large, private timber deck with pool and sun beds. http://luxuryprivatetravel.com/luxury-hotels.html

The 20,000-square-foot spa is situated next to a calming, lotus-filled lake anchored by a yoga pavilion, and the fitness center is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, in addition to a Pilates studio.

Some guests, however, just want to unwind, and the perfect setting is the Beach Club, comprising an outdoor restaurant, an infinity pool and a stretch of white-sand beach flanked by million-year-old rock formations. The turquoise water shimmers, and guests have the option to snorkel, kayak or take out a Hobie Cat. There’s also an outdoor pool by the Main Pavilion, with a restaurant serving Vietnamese and Western fare. http://luxuryprivatetravel.com/luxury-hotels.html
