Six Senses Ninh Van Bay is about an hour and forty minutes away from the airport, CXR, where twenty minutes is the boat ride to the resort. Whilst it's a peninsula where are no roads to the resort so transport is through speed boat. The resort setting is fabulous with a holistic wellness concept as well as eco friendly. There is a great beach and a variety of pool villas of different types from beach villas, rock villas, to hilltop villas. All the villas with the exception of the beach villas has fantastic views, however they do require some degree of climbing steep steps, and the Hilltop villas 7, 8, and 9 are a good 10-minute walk up the hill on makeshift perilous steps, and then it's a 20-minute cycle or buggy ride to for example the Spa and gym, and on the flipside you are undisturbed and have your own space. The resort has several restaurants and bars as well as fine dining and in-villa dining, and if you are in a hilltop villa, in-villa dining becomes an attractive option! There is a watersports centre down by the beach and jetty, as well as the resort pool, and the not to be missed, the free homemade ice cream! By the jetty is also where you find the daily experience list in the resort, which is a mix of free and paid for activities. There is also a local craft shop and it's a short walk to the full service spa and a good size gym with great views for your workout. For those with kids there are plenty of activities including the ability to pick up your own breakfast eggs from the chicken village. A great resort with fantastic and helpful staff, however the boat ride is horrible overpriced especially considering the local costs.

It is not often that one stays in a resort where everything comes together as well as at the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay. The mix of environmental awareness and luxury was perfect, and the attention to detail really was remarkable. Initially one could be a bit concerned about what to do for 8 days in a resort without any major attractions around it, but this was absolutely not a problem, the activities on offer for both adults and children were unparalleled, keeping everyone super busy. The activities at the kids club were both educational and fun, and THANK GOD they don’t have computer games, no one needs that with so much to do. Another point where this hotel really excelled was for the F&B on offer, all the special dinner events meant that one never felt that we were short of options of restaurants, or was eating the dinner twice. We also loved the restaurant menus which included a lot of Vietnamese influence and produce. It’s fair to say that we are rather spoiled but also very experienced when it comes to hotel resorts, but I can honestly say that the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay was one of the best experiences I ever had, there was just nothing to point fingers at. Oh, and they place a wooden name tag on your bicycle, why didn’t anyone else think of that before? Other quick points: - Excellent gym with 180 degrees view. - The hotel has a reef along the beach which is surprisingly nice for snorkeling. - The place has a bit of a Maldives feeling to it with the beach villas and biking around the resort. - There are friendly wild monkeys roaming around, very charming.

We have had an amazing experience staying at Six Senses Ninh Van Bay. The friendliness and service is simply outstanding and makes you Fell fantastic. The scenery is beautiful and the villas and facilities is in a very high standard. Our host Ms Thi is a fantastic host and an incredible lovable person, she makes it her mission to ensure that you feel welcome and have the best time ever, and she does it with a passion and trueness that goes straight to your heart. We will definitely come back to this paradise to enjoy quality time and to meet this fantastic team again, because this is a team effort meaning that every single person ensure that everything works 110% and you feel welcome 🙏

While the property itself is lovely, for the prices that are being charged, it is an extremely low value for money. Food, service, excursions - everything was subpar, particularly given the prices. If this cost half of what it cost it would have been bearable, but definitely not for the prices we paid. The service was very poor. While there was a lot of stuff milling about, most spoke poor English and it was hard to get things done. Food was tasteless, despite fresh ingredients. Excursions were expensive and done completely unprofessionally. Overall, completely not worth it.

Absolutely loved the hotel! After 8 nights, we quickly decided that we will be returning next year. From the aesthetic to the tremendous food, every aspect of the resort is perfectly executed. The selling point, personally, is the GEM, who’s a person taking care of you during your stay. Trí (our GEM) was always available on WhatsApp, and literally helped us with everything (broken bikes, reservations ext.) with him, everything became so much simpler and gave us more time to enjoy the stay. The variety of activities we were able to enjoy (hiking, yoga, meditation, picnics ext.) made the trip even better. The staff was super friendly and organised; everything came as planned and on time. One aspect I could’ve enjoyed more were the beach beds. Unfortunately, you don’t receive normal beds, but instead get adjustable beach chairs. We found it a bit uncomfortable, but aside from that, no complaints.
