These blissfully beautiful villas promise a peaceful stay in the midst of a lush, rolling green landscape overlooking the pristine waters of Ninh Van Bay. Laze about in the infinity pool or indulge yourself with a treatment from the full-service spa, all while enjoying breath taking views of the stunning white sand and impossibly clear, turquoise water ― a real holiday dream come true!
