AVANI Quy Nhon Resort & Spa

“Stylish retreat on Vietnam’s best beach you’ve never heard of”. With a coastline of over 3000 kilometres Vietnam has no shortage of attractive beaches. Why then, do tourists continue to flock to DaNang and Nha Trang? Two lovely stretches of beach and home to many of the country’s finest hotels, yes. Though both, arguably, beginning to lose their charm. Enter: Qhu Nhon, a new contender for Vietnam's beach of the year. For the moment practically unheard of, yet astonishingly beautiful. Nestled into a hillside overlooking a stunning private beach is the award-winning AVANI Quy Nhon Resort & Spa, a stylish retreat for beach lovers where each guest is welcomed with a shoulder massage! All 63 rooms face the sea and are decorated in calming minimalist style, though equipped with modern conveniences such as Nespresso machines and bluetooth sound systems. The spa is an absolute treat, designed like a Robinson Crusoe style treehouse, with open plan treatment rooms and tumbling bougainvillea and offering exceptional wellness and massage services. A host of activities are on offer, the usual kayaking and snorkelling plus picnics on private islands and bicycle tours of the local villages and markets. There’s history too: the ancient Thap Doi Cham Towers sit within the city limits in a very pretty park. Importantly, the poolside bar creates particularly yummy tropical cocktails and the cliff top restaurant has just installed a brand new menu serving up delicious fusion cuisine.

Along Vietnam’s beautiful south central coast, Quy Nhon is located 280 kilometres north of Nha Trang and 320 kilometres south of Da Nang. At the same time as being easily accessible, our beach and spa hideaway is hugged between a private beach and vast mountains, creating the feeling of really getting away from it all. Soak up the sun while lying on silky smooth sand or refresh yourself with a dip in our pool or the cool ocean water, enjoying a kilometer stretch of pristine beach. Book time out on your own or as a couple and indulge massages, body scrubs and facials in one of our five outdoor treatment bungalows or three indoor treatment suites situated within our 3000 square metre garden oasis by the sea. What is there to do in the area? AVANI Quy Nhon Resort offers a host of activities including horseback riding, snorkelling, sea kayaking and deep sea fishing aboard a traditional sailing boat. By scooter or by car, guests can see a well-rounded mix of Quy Nhon’s attractions including Queen Beach with its vibrant arts and craft scene, Binh Dinh history museum, Long Khanh Temple and bustling Dam market. The Cham Doi towers and other venerable relics of the Cham kingdom, that dominated Vietnam’s centre and south between the 2nd and 15th centuries, are peppered in and around Quy Nhon.
