Relaxation in tranquility

In recent years, Ninh Van has gradually been positioned as a resort area focused on health care and mental rejuvenation for tourists. Tourism projects here aim for quiet spaces close to nature. Although each resort has its own development philosophy, their common point is lying in respecting the natural landscape and minimizing the impact on the forest-sea ecosystem. Guests experience cycling in a secluded resort setting at An Lam Retreats Ninh Van Bay.

The first destination is An Lam Retreats Ninh Van Bay, a resort nestled amidst mountains and gently sloping towards the open sea. The feeling upon entering the gate is one of almost complete isolation from the outside world. Here, the natural landscape is preserved; the architectural structures are harmoniously integrated with the scenery. Deep within the grounds is a natural waterfall, creating an ecological focal point while also being treated through a modern filtration system to provide drinking water for the entire resort. The Sen Restaurant, built on rocky outcrops jutting into the sea, uses environmentally friendly materials and adapts to the existing terrain, creating a distinctive architectural feature. Besides accommodation, the resort also organizes activities such as yoga in the forest, meditation by the stream, kayaking, and snorkeling... contributing to the development of experiential tourism products connected with nature, aiming for balance and sustainable development.

Green living makes a difference

L’Alya Ninh Vân Bay makes its mark with a sustainable development orientation. The pristine, tranquil environment allows life here to naturally slow down. Instead of building large-scale structures, L’Alya chooses to preserve nature in its most intact state possible.

A highlight is the organic farm located within the resort, implementing a “farm-to-table” model. This approach not only enhances the quality of culinary services but also contributes to reducing carbon emissions during transportation. This trend is already popular in many developed countries, but is still quite new in Vietnam.

In addition, activities such as Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi in the mangrove forest, trekking through the forest, or releasing lanterns on the 1st and 15th days of the lunar month demonstrate a harmonious combination of health care, cultural experiences, and ecosystem conservation. At L’Alya, the difference in value doesn't come from scale or level of amenities, but from a consistently and sustainably maintained philosophy of green living.

World-class ecological standards

When mentioning Ninh Van Bay, it's impossible to miss Six Senses Ninh Van Bay - a resort that has contributed to putting this bay on the international eco-tourism map. From the design phase, Six Senses chose a path of sustainable development. With 58 thatched-roof villas arranged according to the natural terrain, using wood and environmentally friendly materials, creating a harmonious space between the building and the mountain, forest, and sea landscape. The herbal spa system at Six Senses has been honored by prestigious international magazines for its use of local medicinal herbs for health care.

The experience in Ninh Van shows that tourism development is not just about attracting investment, but also about managing and sustainably utilizing natural resources. The resorts here demand clearer criteria in the planning, appraisal, and supervision of coastal tourism projects in the province, ensuring a balance between economic growth goals and the responsibility of preserving nature and protecting the environment - ​​the foundation for sustainable tourism development in Khanh Hoa.
