5 Hip Hotels in Vietnam

How much detail do you want to see?

  1. Vietnam’s coast is as yet undiscovered and virtually undeveloped. It’s certainly not deserted, but neither is it spoilt. A five-mile-long expanse of immaculate sand, is Evason Ana Mandara. From the road running along the beach you’d never even know it was there because its colonial Franco-Viet-style villas disappear among the foliage of the densely planted palm trees.

    Guests at Evason Ana Mandara are spread out over the fifty-odd-acre complex, where they can choose between two restaurants, a renowned spa, several bars and the swimming pool, not to mention the beach. Design-wise the place has a distinct Vietnamese signature: a blend of Chinese motifs, French colonial detailing and Vietnamese crafts. Restaurants at opposite ends of the beach contribute to the impression that Evason Ana Mandara is never too crowded.

    Reflects the image of an old Vietnamese village, with its warm hospitality, rich culture, unique tastes and spectacular views of Nha Trang Bay.

  2. Intercontinental Westlake

    Hanoi, Vietnam

    Set on the very waterfront of Hanoi’s West Lake it gives the illusion of floating on water. The hotel is in a world of its own yet the historic centre of Hanoi is only a ten-minute taxi ride away.

Rooms have all mod cons including LCD TVs and after a day of sightseeing quiet time with the views from your balcony is a must. When you do leave your room you’ll find a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a spa which includes a steam bath and an extensive menu of treatments and three restaurants. Set on its own island in the lake, accessible only by torch lit bridge, the Sunset Bar is exactly what it says on the box; the perfect place for drinks at sunset.

    Overlooking the 800-year-old Golden Lotus Pagoda, the Intercontinental Westlake Hanoi is one of the most sublimely located city hotels in all of Asia.

  4. Six Senses Ninh Van Bay

    Nha Trang, Vietnam

    It's the perfect name. Situated on a hidden beach on a lush, mountainous peninsula overlooking a series of overlapping bays, the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay is exactly that – you would never even know it's there. Even as you approach it by boat – the only way to get there – you still need binoculars to pick out the buildings nestling in the dense foliage just behind the pristine sands.

    Everything about the design - architecture, building materials, manner of construction using interlocking wood with no nails or glue - was chosen with the aim of creating the ultimate escape. The result is a series of huts and houses that represent a new style of luxury: more rugged, raw and natural, with space and privacy as primary considerations … it's the ultimate beach fantasy.

    The ultimate barefoot beach shack on one of the most unspoiled coastlines in the world.

  5. The Nam Hai

    Hoi An, Vietnam

    It is also situated near the ancient river trading port of Hoi An, recently listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because of its wealth of well preserved colonial buildings.

    Nam Hai is a collection of villas and beach houses on the Beach, with a view of the South China Sea and the distant Cham Islands. The sixty one-bedroom villas are distinguished by indoor and outdoor sitting areas, but the most innovative touch is a raised platform set in the middle of the rooms enclosed by mosquito netting that creates a room within a room.

    It is a luxurious resort that includes two gourmet restaurants, tennis, championship golf with clubhouse and a tropical spa, but it also offers something other parts of Asia cannot, namely cultural attractions that reflect the true spirit of Endochine, one of the least exploited areas of South East Asia.

    China Beach is evocative proof that Vietnam is a country of sublime beauty; a charismatic example of the gems that define Vietnam’s unspoiled coastline.
