At the official announcement ceremony for the Michelin Key 2025 global hotel rating system held on October 8, 2025, the Michelin Guide unveiled its list of distinguished hotels for the year—marking a historic milestone for the Michelin brand. After over a century of defining the global standard in gastronomy through its Michelin Star system, Michelin has now expanded its recognition to the world of hospitality and luxury accommodation.
Among this year’s honorees, Amanoi—a resort under the Aman Group, nestled within the Nui Chua National Park (formerly Ninh Thuan, now part of Khanh Hoa province)—was awarded Three Michelin Keys, the highest distinction in the system. This honor is reserved for properties offering exceptional and uniquely distinctive experiences. Amanoi is also one of only two hotels in Vietnam to receive this prestigious recognition.
According to the Michelin Guide, the Michelin Key system was created to celebrate hotels and resorts that excel in design, service, and refined experience, where every stay offers an emotional journey and a deep connection to the destination. The Three Michelin Keys distinction represents the pinnacle of hospitality—where every detail, from architecture and ambiance to cuisine and service, embodies absolute sophistication and care.
Tucked away in the untouched wilderness of Nui Chua, where ancient forests embrace the crystal- blue Vinh Hy Bay, Amanoi has long been regarded as an icon of “Mindful Luxury”—a sanctuary of serenity, simplicity, and harmony with nature. With only 9 Pavilions, 22 Villas each featuring a private pool, 12 Residences ranging from one to five bedrooms, and two Wellness Pool Villas, every space at Amanoi offers a private, tranquil retreat where guests can immerse themselves in the peace and majesty of the natural surroundings.
With this distinction, Amanoi reaffirms its position as Vietnam’s leading luxury retreat—and one of Asia’s most celebrated destinations—where each stay is a masterpiece of mindful living, inviting travelers to rediscover stillness, balance, and a profound connection with themselves amid the breathtaking nature of Nui Chua.
Beyond Amanoi, several other Aman properties—including Amanemu, Aman New York, Aman Venice, Amangiri, Amanpuri, and Amanjiwo—were also honored with the Three Michelin Key distinction.
Ms. Joy Arpornrat Kuekthong, a member from the Amanoi Executive Committee says, “It is through the dedication of our team, the guidance of our public partners, and the trust of our guests that Amanoi continues to excel."
