About this hotel
General information
Six Senses Ninh Van Bay fills a secluded bay where steep forested mountains drop to the sea. No road leads here — guests arrive by boat — so the resort feels like an island of its own. Sculpted rock formations frame a white-sand beach, and villas built of wood and natural materials are spread around the shore: on the sand, over the water, tucked between boulders and up on the hillside.
The resort is villas only, each with its own pool and sea view, and every guest has a personal host on call around the clock. Nature is central to its character: a troop of rare langurs lives in the hills behind the villas under the resort's protection, and organic gardens on site supply both the kitchens and the spa.
Location
The resort lies on Ninh Van Bay in Khanh Hoa province, directly across the water from Nha Trang, and can only be reached by sea. Guests are met at Cam Ranh International Airport for a drive of around 60 minutes to the resort's own lounge in Nha Trang, followed by a 20-minute boat ride across the bay. Nha Trang is about 450 km from Ho Chi Minh City and 1,350 km from Hanoi.
Spa
Six Senses Spa sits on the hillside beside running streams. It has six double treatment rooms (one of them family-sized), steam room and sauna, a wellness pavilion, a biohacking room, a meditation shala, an Alchemy Bar, a beauty area, a yoga deck and a relaxation area; the gym is open 24 hours, with an outdoor jungle circuit alongside. Specialists measure key biomarkers to shape personal programmes for sleep, detox, yoga or fitness. The signature Vietnamese Journey pairs a green-rice body scrub with a rhythmic bamboo massage using local coconut oil, and many treatment herbs come from the spa's own gardens.
Sports & leisure
The resort balances quiet days with plenty to do:
- hiking trails to secluded beaches and viewpoints above the bay
- tennis, morning tai chi and pranayama yoga
- kayaking, paddle boarding, Hobie Cat sailing, wakeboarding, water and mono skiing and tubing (ages 8 and up)
- evening glow-kayak tours in clear-hulled kayaks over the coral reef
- early-morning fishing, boat trips and charters, sunset cruises
- speedboat island hopping to three nearby islands with diving, snorkelling and lunch
- cooking classes, langur conservation walks and cinema under the stars
- personal bicycles for every villa
For children
The Vooc Village kids' club welcomes children aged 4–12 every day from 8:00 to 18:00 at no charge. Its Grow With Six Senses programme runs dozens of activities — crafts, cooking, ecology, sport, stargazing and learning about the langurs — and each child collects stamps in a passport along the way. Some activities carry a charge. Babysitting is available in the villa or at the club.

The kitchens blend East and West with a Vietnamese accent, drawing on the resort's organic gardens and the local catch.
