The Essence of Vinh Hy Bay
Suggestions for Discovering Vinh Hy Bay Our specialists guide you through Vinh Hy Bay’s captivating landscapes, from the tranquil fishing villages and Fairy Stream to thrilling kite-surfing…
Vinh Hy Bay is situated on the rocky coastline of Ninh Thuan Province is one of Vietnam’s most beautiful and pristine coastal destinations. Between spectacular Nui Chua National Park and the deep blue waters of the South China Sea it is rarely do you find a place that is so mountainous, so picturesque, and so tranquil. The breathtaking bay, with all its dramatic scenery and colorful life is surrounded by many quiet fishing villages.
It offers a unique setting that makes it one of four bays recognized as among the most beautiful in Vietnam along with Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and Lang Co Bay – Vinh Hy Bay has stunning turquoise water, limestone cliffs, beautiful roads (with lots of opportunities for photos), long sandy beaches, and green hills. Vinh Hy is only 55 kms from Cam Ranh Airport and 42 kms from Phan Rang and Thap Cham.
The trip to Vinh Hy is also part of the adventure – while the inland part is very short, the last part is some of the best coastline cruise you will experience beyond the Adriatic and Sardinian coast – the road snakes down the coast and you are treated to a gorgeous view of coves and panoramas; another great place for photographs.
Vinh Hy Bay is a great place for those who love nature, photographers, and eco-tourists. Diving or snorkelling among colourful coral reefs, kayaking in calm water, hiking in the steep terrain of Nui Chua and visiting the floating fishing villages and eating fresh seafood or eating lunch in a floating restaurant.
Amanoi sits in the middle of this peaceful Bay on a hillside to take in the panoramic views of the Bay and hills filled with trees. Amanoi received a commendation of being among the top new hotels in the world by Condé Nest Traveler. Resort amenities include elevated infinity pools, spa options, and private beach access.
Further afield, visitors can visit Rai Cave, Thai An Vineyard, and more tracts in the Nui Chua National Park which rounds this area as a place for both relaxation and adventure combined with a little cultural awareness.
