Amanoi is set between the dry tropical forest of Nui Chua National Park and the sheltered waters of Vinh Hy Bay on Vietnam’s south-central coast. Jean-Michel Gathy’s pavilions, villas and residences step across the hillsides in dark timber and stone. Terraces and infinity pools open to forest or sea. The central pavilion crowns a ridge above the bay, while a private beach club sits below on a quiet crescent of sand. In a lotus-filled valley, the Aman Spa includes hydrotherapy facilities, treatment rooms and wellness villas shaped around the reserve’s unusually rugged landscape.
