Among Asia’s celebrated resort destinations, Ninh Van Bay is quietly carving out a place of its own through its unspoilt beauty, sense of privacy and experiences rooted in nature. The recognition of two resorts in the bay at the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards over two consecutive years marks a proud achievement for the properties and highlights the growing international appeal of this tranquil corner of Vietnam’s coastline.
Nestled between forested mountains and the blue waters of Khanh Hoa, Ninh Van Bay offers a distinctive beauty, far removed from the bustle of more familiar tourist destinations.
In recent years, the bay has become increasingly recognised as a destination for luxury retreats in Vietnam. Beyond its remarkable natural setting, its appeal lies in resorts thoughtfully designed to complement their surroundings, where privacy, considered experiences and natural beauty come together to create a distinctive sense of escape.
The inclusion of two Ninh Van Bay resorts in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards for two consecutive years is a notable milestone. Among Asia’s renowned resort destinations, this recognition strengthens the properties’ appeal while introducing the bay’s pristine landscapes and distinctive experiences to a wider international audience.
When The Destination Becomes Part Of The Experience
As travellers increasingly seek privacy, authentic experiences and a closer connection with nature, Ninh Van Bay offers its own expression of luxury, one in which the setting becomes an inseparable part of every stay.
It is found in mornings spent waking to the sound of waves, quiet moments beneath the forest canopy and the discovery of local flavours through thoughtfully prepared dishes. Often, it is these simple, intimate moments that linger in guests’ memories and inspire them to return.
Within this landscape, each resort has its own identity, yet all draw inspiration from nature and local heritage. Beyond a luxury holiday, Ninh Van Bay offers the opportunity to restore balance, make time for oneself and appreciate the natural world more deeply. This connection has become an essential part of the bay’s enduring appeal.
Architecture that blends into the landscape, experiences shaped by a sense of place and care in every detail contribute to Ninh Van Bay’s distinctive charm.
An Lam Retreats Ninh Van Bay: Preserving a Distinctive Identity
As part of this story, An Lam Retreats Ninh Van Bay has once again been recognised at the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2026, ranking 11th among Asia’s most-loved resorts. This marks the second consecutive year the retreat has received recognition from readers of the international travel publication.
The name An Lâm itself holds a philosophy of living. “An” evokes peace and inner tranquillity, while “Lâm” recalls forests, nature and their inherent vitality. Together, they offer an invitation to find serenity in nature, slow down, listen inward and make time for what truly matters.
This philosophy is reflected in the way the retreat sits within the landscape of Ninh Van Bay. With 37 private pool villas, An Lâm offers a secluded setting where wooden architecture inspired by Vietnamese culture blends harmoniously with the forest and sea.
At An Lâm, Vietnamese identity extends beyond architecture and design to become part of the guest experience. It is expressed through local flavours thoughtfully celebrated in the cuisine, nature-inspired treatments that nurture body, mind and spirit, and sincere hospitality conveyed through every detail.
At The Beach Bar & Deck, flavours and nature come together, creating moments to cherish beside the bay.
These values shape An Lâm’s personal approach to luxury: warm, thoughtful and centred on meaningful connections. It is a journey the brand has nurtured with dedication, guided by the hope that every guest leaves Ninh Van Bay with lasting impressions and treasured memories.
From Local Heritage to International Recognition
Held annually, the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards is one of the international travel industry’s widely recognised accolades, with results determined by readers’ votes.

Amid unspoilt nature, An Lam Retreats preserves Vietnamese heritage through every stay.

Ultimately, a brand’s growth is measured not only by its scale or number of destinations, but also by its ability to preserve its identity and create experiences that hold lasting meaning for its guests.
