SIX SENSES NINH VAN BAY NINH VAN, VIETNAM
SO WHERE’S THE BEACH THEN? The hotel clings to the shores of a crescent-shaped bay reachable only by boat, and guests choose between a villa over water, one tucked into the island’s rock formations (pictured), or a spot on the beach. Considerable time could be devoted to strolling the length of its sandy white perfection, admiring the views as the South China Sea laps warmly at your feet. The thatched beachside bar offers a sunset happy hour, and is twice-weekly transformed into a seaside cinema.
