Arrival Information:
The closest airport to Amanoi Resort is Cam Ranh International Airport, which is approximately a 90-minute drive away. From the airport, guests can take a private transfer arranged by the resort or a taxi to the resort. Alternatively, the resort can also arrange helicopter transfers for guests who prefer a more scenic and faster option (25 minutes), or a speedboat transfer which takes around 45 minutes and allows guests to enjoy the coastline on the way to the resort.
The Resort:
The resort has 36 guest pavilions and villas, all of which feature a private terrace or swimming pool and panoramic views of the surrounding natural beauty. There are different room categories available, however the interior to each pavilion is exactly the same, the differences are mainly location within the resort and outdoor space associated with each pavilion.
Pavilions: these are spacious rooms with a king-sized bed, living area, bathroom with a bathtub, and an outdoor terrace. They start at around $800 per night.
Pool Pavilions: these come with a private pool and are slightly larger than the standard pavilions. They start at around $1,000 per night.
Ocean Pool Pavilions: these are situated closer to the ocean and come with a private pool and expansive views of the sea. They start at around $1,500 per night.
Villas: these are standalone, multi-bedroom residences with their own living and dining areas, as well as private pools. They start at around $3,500 per night.
Amenities:
The resort has a spa, fitness center, yoga pavilion, library and a boutique. There is also a large infinity pool with panoramic views of the ocean and mountains, as well as a separate pool and private beach club.
Activities:
There are a variety of activities for guests, including hiking, snorkeling, kayaking and mountain biking. All on-site non-motorized water sport activities are included (but we sadly could not partake during our visit as it nearly 30 mph winds!) There is also yoga and meditation sessions, as well as cooking classes and local cultural experiences. "Tea" was complimentary and served every day from 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm on their restaurant terrace, which included fresh fruits, desserts and some traditional Vietnamese dishes.
Restaurants:
The resort has two main restaurants:
The Restaurant: this is the resort's main dining venue, which serves Vietnamese and international cuisine. The restaurant features an open kitchen and a terrace with views of the ocean. You also have the option to dine indoors; and there is of course room services or unique dining experiences throughout the property at an additional charge.
The Beach Club: this is a more casual venue, situated on the beachfront, which serves light snacks and drinks throughout the day.
Nearby excursions:
There are several visits to local fishing villages, snorkeling and diving trips to nearby reefs, and hikes through the Nui Chua National Park. But overall, I couldn't find reason to leave the property as it was a peaceful escape in the middle of some stunning natural beauty!
Happy to elaborate more for anyone that might be looking to send clients. On further review of my photos, they don't do the property justice at all! More can be found my instagram account @twotickets2anywhere.
