About Six Senses Ninh Van Bay
- The resort is accessible exclusively by speedboat from Nha Trang — there is no road connection — giving it a de-facto private-island feel despite being on a bay peninsula.
- Working with NGO GreenViet, the resort's conservation team helped increase the local population of critically endangered black-shanked douc langurs from 109 to 194 individuals between 2019 and 2025; camera traps have also detected the silver-backed chevrotain — a species previously thought locally extinct.
- The resort operates Vietnam's first in-resort solar farm, known as Ninh Van Greens, supplying electricity, hot water, and organic produce to the property.
- The Water Reserve villa holds Vietnam's first private waterslide — a feature installed in 2019 inside a three-bedroom overwater complex set on natural rock formations on its own private bay.
- The smallest published suite or villa start at 1,660 sq ft (154 m²).
History
Opened in 2004, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay was one of the first two Six Senses resorts worldwide, embodying the brand's philosophy of reconnecting with nature through wellness and sustainability in stunning locations. Over two decades, it has pioneered innovations in Vietnam such as the first waterslide villa in 2019, on-site solar farm, and conservation programs for endangered langurs, earning recognition as Asia's top resort in 2022 by Condé Nast Traveller. Recent upgrades include the Rock Retreat waterslide villa in 2024 and ongoing eco-initiatives like Ninh Van Greens.
The setting
Nestled in a secluded bay across from Nha Trang, accessible only by boat, with white sand beaches, dramatic rock formations, and towering mountains creating an island-like seclusion. The calm, sheltered waters and proximity to Nha Trang enable diverse land and sea activities while maintaining privacy. 10 km from Phổ Minh Temple.
