The property

Amanoi sits within a 29,000-hectare national park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve the resort describes as spanning 14 tropical ecosystems, from forest to coral-rich sea to semi-desert scrub. Rather than one block, the resort spreads across the terrain: pavilions and pool villas along a ridge above the bay, the spa and yoga pavilion at a separate lotus-covered lake, and a private golden-sand beach holding the Beach Club.
Wellness

The lakeside Aman Spa sits apart from the pavilion cluster, with two lake-view hydrotherapy suites (heated stone tables, steam rooms, jacuzzis, plunge pools), five double treatment suites, a Pilates studio, a gymnasium, floodlit tennis courts, and a lake-set Yoga Pavilion for daily classes. Two Wellness Pool Villas, Lake (with a hammam) and Forest (with a timber-clad banya), each pair a 15-metre pool with a steam room, cold plunge, jacuzzi, and a treatment suite staffed by a dedicated therapist.
Dining and bars

- The Restaurant: Central Pavilion, 180-degree bay views, Vietnamese and international dishes.
- The Beach Club: on the golden-sand shore, serving lunches, poolside drinks, and grilled seafood through the day.
- The Bar: styled after Vietnamese teahouses, with cocktails and live performances several nights a week.
Private dining can also be arranged at a beach pavilion, a clifftop spot beside the pool, the lake pavilion, and the Rock Studio, a structure built into the property's natural boulders.
Setting and experiences

Amanoi adjoins a marine reserve home to hawksbill and green sea turtles, staghorn and brain coral, and reef fish. On-site experiences include guided national-park treks (including a full-day, 21-kilometre King Mountain route), snorkeling and glass-bottom kayaking, day and night catamaran excursions, and visits to the Cham Museum and the 12th–13th-century Po Klong Garai Cham Towers.
Location
Amanoi is roughly a 75-minute drive from Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR) and about 5 hours by road from Ho Chi Minh City. Its national-park location means the surrounding land is protected rather than developed, the trade-off for its remoteness: there is no adjacent town or second resort within walking distance.
Rooms & categories
Amanoi has seven pavilion and pool villa categories, from 95 sq m mountain pavilions to a 310 sq m ocean pool family villa.
