Whether it’s the natural beauty or the banh mi that brings you to Vietnam, you’ll need no excuse to visit Six Senses Ninh Van Bay’s newly opened ultra-luxury over-water stay.

The Water Retreat, a three-room villa, is perched on a dramatic rock formation on the water’s edge at a private bay. The utterly private, 900-square-metre stay is accessible only by private speedboat or walkway. An infinity pool with a waterslide, dedicated staff available at all hours for your every whim (be a BBQ or outdoor cinema screening) and private poolside yoga is available at your door step.

And, you can snorkel on the house reef, if you can possibly contemplate leaving your abode.

Naturally, in-villa dining goes includes floating breakfasts and lunches in your pool, while barbecue dinners are prepared and served by a private chef in the outdoor and indoor dining area after pre-dinner drinks overlooking the sunset.

The Water Retreat is now taking bookings. For rates or enquiries, contact reservations-ninhvan@sixsenses.com.
