Sometimes travelling around exploring new countries can be very tiring, so when planning our trip we decided to arrange a few nights somewhere nice just to relax and recuperate - it is supposed to be our 10th anniversary trip after all.
We booked into the An Lam Ninh Van Bay villas. This was a lovely little resort with only 32 villas. We drove for about an hour North of the airport to the hotel's welcome lounge. We were then escorted on a private boat for about 15 minutes to the island itself, where we were met by the hotel manager and our private butler Hung.
Our mountain villa was spread out over three floors, the first having the private pool, the second the living room and bathroom and on the third floor was the bedroom complete with four poster bed.
The most amazing thing about this part of our trip was that coincidentally it fell exactly over the Eid holiday, so we had no emails and no phone calls to deal with - we were able to completely relax.
After a couple of days of pure indulgence, we decided that we should at least try and experience the local area, so we took a day trip into the town of Nha Trang and explored the temples and pagodas.
The hotel offers free bicycles to get around the island and runs daily treks into the jungle. We managed to drag ourselves out of bed one morning to go on the beach hike, which was definitely worth the effort.
I can not recommend this place highly enough. It has to be one of the best hotels we have stayed in and the staff here were top notch. But unfortunately all good things must come to an end and we had a flight to Ho Chi Minh to catch so we had to wave bye to this little piece of paradise.
