Amanoi, also known as peaceful place in Sanskirt, really lives up to its name as this beach-side resort in Vietnam takes into consideration of your need for tranquility, calmness, and privacy. The Amanoi is well-situated among many different attractions; it is placed perfectly between the hectic yet lively city and the natural wilderness/reserves of Vietnam. The resort is located on a high level point of the Nui Chua National Park, which overlooks the Vinh Hy Bay (one of Vietnam's four most beautiful bays) that is surrounded by unique rock formations. The Amanoi is very easy to get to from the airport for both domestic and international travelers, as it is in close distance from Nha Trang Airport - round trip private transfers are included in The Amanoi's rates! Keep in mind, Amanoi is huge and there are no cars in the resort, but guests have unlimited access around the property grounds by a golf cart, which can be ready for you with one simple call. Guests are able to enjoy full privacy with accommodations that are not split by walls, but by individual pavilions.
The Central Pavilion is not an accommodation; rather it is an inspired traditional Vietnamese communal hall, where guests will walk up the steps upon check-in and be blown away by a panoramic view of the sea and coastline when they reach the top. It is an expansive terrace that occupies the hilltop and houses the Restaurant as well as the Bar. Next to the Central Pavilion is a Cliff Pool, one of two exquisite swimming pools in Amanoi, whereas the second pool is located at the Beach Club, which overlooks the white-sand beach and offers dining and lounging areas.
The Amanoi offers 31 Pavilions throughout the resort, a number of them that have private swimming pools, as well as five Aman Villas, which are all positioned on the hillside with their own impressive views of Vietnam. All accommodations are in line with a similar decor, encompassing contemporary elegance with traditional Vietnamese architectural styles that bring you closer to the culture. Each accommodation have views of either the Nui Chua National Park, the lake on Amanoi property, or the Vinh Hy Bay and the East Sea.
All 31 Pavilions in the resort have an identical layout and design, with a combined living and sleeping area with a king-sized bed, a timber sundeck with sun loungers, an LCD TV with international channels, as well as a mini-bar and an espresso machine. Although the design may be the same, there are four different types of Pavilions that you can choose from: the Pavilion, Pool Pavilion, Ocean Pavilion, and the Ocean Pool Pavilion.
The Pavilion offers a picturesque view of the surrounding mountains or lake whereas the Pool Pavilion is an updated version of the Pavilion, as it gives a similar sight, but is accompanied by your own private swimming pool that are real infinity pools heated with underwater lighting for late night swimming. The Ocean Pavilion gives an expansive view of the Vinh Hy Bay and the East Sea, and the Ocean Pool Pavilion offers the same alongside private swimming pools.
All Pavilions consists of pocket doors on both sides into the walls that can be pushed open for a better and clearer view of the National Park, the lake, and the Vinh Hy Bay.
The Aman Villa is a four or five bedroom with large living and dining pavilions, a large private swimming pool, and a live-in housekeeper and cook who will prepare any Vietnamese or Western cuisine dishes that you desire.
At the Amanoi, you will not only be immersed by the natural breathtaking views of Vietnam's nature, but also by the engaging activities that the resort has to offer. The Nui Chua National Park, awarded the national park status in 2003, is a huge asset to the Amanoi as it offers a number of different ecosystems. The Park is home to at least 1,500 plant species, 160 bird species, and 60 mammal species as well as some endangered species. Once you step foot into the Park, you will be amazed at the grand scenery - a typical tropical forest with streams carving their way through ravines, and rocky outcrops surrounded by vegetation. The Amanoi can generously arrange guides, picnics, and necessary transport throughout the National Park. Guests are also welcome to go snorkeling in calm, clear waters in the coral reefs of the East Sea, home to a myriad of tropical fish, as well as kayaking through Vinh Hy Bay.
There is honestly no better way to wake up and start your day than with a tranquil view of Vietnam's natural preserves with a cup of hot coffee at the Amanoi.
