Welcome to Six Senses, Ninh Vân Bay,
a secluded property at the bottom of a forested promontory that juts
into the South China Sea. Stepping off the boat we’re warmly greeted by
management and introduced to our personal butler, yes it’s that kind of
place, and after a bit of paperwork we’re taken to our villa.
This is where things started to feel a little familiar. Six years ago we stayed at its former sister property, Soneva Gili
(now Gili Lankanfushi), in the Maldives. Luxurious overwater bungalow,
Robinson Crusoe-style set-up, pretty lush. I know, it’s sickening but
someone’s gotta do it.
Ninh Vân Bay is the only place in Vietnam
that has its own time zone. Just to ease you into the Six Senses
lifestyle the time is set forward an hour; a longer day to do a whole
lot of nothing. Well, not nothing. There’s bush walking, bike riding,
swimming, eating and drinking. That’s for starters. Let me walk you
through our little pad.
Our beachfront pool villa is nestled
amongst the brush, overlooking the calm bay. Downstairs there’s the
bedroom with bi-fold doors and a daybed that opens out onto a small
terrace that drops into a private plunge pool. Not too shabby at all!
At the rear a large bathroom opens onto an
enclosed courtyard, complete with outdoor shower, and back inside are
two vanities on the opposing walls. The free-standing wooden bathtub
went untouched and was more of a pretty obstacle than functional device.
Head upstairs and you find yourself in an
open-plan lounge space. Table and chairs overlooking the plunge pool and
beach, there’s a minibar, coffee & tea facilities and a cushy
daybed made for slouching the day away. Oh look, complimentary
champagne! Let the sloshing begin.
