Best Luxury Hotels in Ninh Van Bay
Found opposite Hon Thi island in the far southeast of Vietnam, Ninh Van Bay is at the bottom of a peninsula beside the South China Sea. It’s the place to come if you want a retreat, a luxury hotel and stunning landscapes (lush jungle, white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters). There’s a little village and the sea, but little else, the ideal antidote to modern life, or for those who’ve already completed a non-stop itinerary of travel across southeast Asia. It’s a sheltered inlet with ferries crossing from its shores across Nha Phu Bay. Here are our recommendations for your stay in Ninh Van Bay.
