Most peaceful gateway 💞

Our stay at Amanoi in Vietnam was absolutely outstanding. Spanning four nights, we chose Villa Number 18, which offered us an unparalleled 360-degree view from one of the resort's highest vantage points. While there are accommodations closer to the ocean, our villa’s panoramic view encompassed both the sea and the mountains, not to mention a charming vista of the resort's Vietnamese-style homes. Given our proximity to the Caribbean back in the Southeastern United States, an ocean view is something we can easily come by, making the unique scenery at Amanoi all the more special to us. The management team at Amanoi is exceptional, setting a high standard for hospitality in Southeast Asia. The resort's sprawling layout meant we mostly navigated the area via buggy, which was always promptly available upon request. Both the food and service were impeccable throughout our stay. The highlight for us was undoubtedly our villa. Coming from a hectic schedule in Thailand, the tranquility and privacy of our accommodation were exactly what we needed. We often opted to dine in our villa, enjoying the serenity alongside our private pool. A villa with a pool is definitely a must-have for the ultimate relaxing experience. While we did explore the beach and the resort's two large public pools—one nestled in the mountains near the clubhouse and the other perched above the beach—our villa's seclusion remained our favorite retreat. The excursions offered by Amanoi were another standout aspect of our visit. We embraced the local landscape through hikes and a memorable bicycle trip into the nearby fishing village. The combination of massages, sauna, and cold plunge was a rejuvenating way to cool down from the day's heat. To make the most of the climate, we recommend booking activities in the early morning or late afternoon, reserving midday for leisure by the private pool. Our experience at Amanoi has made us understand the allure of becoming 'Aman junkies'. We were thoroughly converted by the end of our stay and are eagerly looking forward to our next visit.
