Ninh Van Bay (Khanh Hoa) is famous for its poetic scenery. Because it is still a wild land, this place still retains its peaceful and quiet features. It is truly a gift to wake up to the call of the great forest, of birds, and the gentle sunlight pouring on the miles of green trees is the scene that awaits visitors every morning.
For that reason, Ninh Van Bay has become an ideal place for vacations, away from the dust and noise of the city. With a small number of luxury resorts on the bay, visitors do not have many choices, but each place has its own style and beauty when coming to Ninh Van.

For example, L'Alya Ninh Van Bay, although it has been on the bay for nearly 10 years, with many changes, still brings relaxation, peace and the feeling of coming home to each visitor with interesting special features.
Canoe from reception to resort
Because it is located on a peninsula, the fastest and only way to get to the resort is by canoe or boat. However, the resort's reception area is located on the mainland city side. This allows visitors to have a break and enjoy a welcome drink after a long flight and more than 30 km from Cam Ranh airport.
The path leads to the canoe that takes guests to the accommodation.
During the "crossing the ocean", visitors will enjoy the cool breezes of Ninh Van Bay. On clear days, the scenery of the bay appears like a painting with mountain ranges carrying deep blue colors, vaguely appearing from afar. After 15 minutes of traveling, L'Alya Ninh Van Bay appears, nestled completely in that green space.
The resort has no room keys.
L'Alya Ninh Van Bay has a total of 33 villa-style rooms along with a restaurant, swimming pool, spa, fitness area... The villas are built mainly from wood and raw granite, which are also natural ingredients available on the island.
Hill Rock Villa room type is built like a tree house.
The Hill Rock villas have the special feature of separating each living area such as: the downstairs is the bathroom, the upstairs is the bedroom, the side will be the living room and the swimming pool is another area. To move between these areas, there will be wooden stairs going through. This also causes a lot of inconvenience when the living area is too large, the bar area and the bedroom are quite far apart, so all needs require visitors to move a lot.
Because it does not interfere with the terrain, each villa has a different layout structure, no two villas are alike.
The living areas in the house are arranged separately.
In keeping with the resort’s natural character, all villas have no locks, including magnetic or traditional locks. However, there has never been a case of theft here because each villa is equipped with a safe for guests to store important items.
However, visitors can still be "visited" by birds and squirrels if food is left in the outdoor area. In addition, at night, doors should be locked to prevent unwanted "intruders".
Resort with mangrove swamp
In addition to Hill Rock villa, L'Alya Ninh Van Bay has another economy room type with sea view, but the distance between the villa and the sea is separated by a mangrove swamp.
The villa area is separated by mangrove swamps.
This mangrove swamp is completely natural and has been kept intact during the construction of the resort. The swamp stretches from the guest accommodation area to the common area. Guests can have lunch in this area, in the shade of trees and the fresh, quiet air.

This is not the only thing that has been left untouched. The paths within the resort are also kept completely natural with loose sand and rough granite boulders that have not been arranged.
With a diverse ecosystem and unique exploitation methods, insect bites are inevitable. Visitors should bring mosquito repellent. In addition, the resort's villas also provide mosquito coils for use at night.
Trekking right in the resort
With an ideal location for exploring nature, trekking deep into the forest where the resort is located is also one of the activities for visitors when visiting this place.
With a distance of 3 km, visitors will be guided by the resort's tour guide through the forest of Hon Heo mountain and stop at 3 points with the most beautiful views, covering the entire bay. On this route, visitors will hear about the island's ecosystem, including crops and wild animals. In particular, on the island there are more than 300 rare white-cheeked langurs that if lucky, visitors may encounter.

The path has many ups and downs, visitors will be taken to a waterfall called Hon Heo waterfall. This waterfall is the place that provides water for the resort. Water from the waterfall will be swum through filtration stations, and provide water for the swimming pools in each villa. That is also the reason why the swimming pool at the resort does not contain chlorine.
The most valuable point of the trip is the highest stop, where you can see the whole view of Ninh Van Bay.
In addition to the above special features, the resort also has all the necessary amenities of a high-class resort. Guests can have breakfast in their room or at the resort's restaurant. There is only one restaurant here, serving a variety of culinary styles. However, the breakfast buffet is not rich in dishes. In return, all dishes here are prepared in a healthy way.
Restaurant area.
Because it is an old resort, the infrastructure here is somewhat older than the "newly born" resorts in Ninh Van Bay. On the contrary, the service here is well-rated by tourists due to its long-standing experience.
Activities at the resort are quite diverse: Yoga, kayaking, sunset cruise, trekking, culinary classes with experts who are also the resort's head chef.
