Ninh Thuan
Vietnam's scenic coastline stretches in a sinuous s-shape over 3,200 kilometres from China in the north, to the Mekong Delta in the south. Famed for its cuisine, art and rich history, Vietnam is increasingly gaining recognition for its natural beauty and biodiversity. Nui Chua National Park in particular protects an area of more than 29,000 hectares of pristine coastal and marine habitats in Ninh Thuan Province, northeast of Ho Chi Minh City.
If you're seeking a corner of Vietnam as-yet uncharted by tourists, Ninh Thu'n Province might just be the perfect place.
The verdant Núi Chúa National Park and the beaches on the eastern coast and are mostly undiscovered. If you get bored of the walks among the trees and lazing by the lapping, sapphire-blue waves (granted, it's unlikely), there's plenty more to explore. Phan Rang'-Tháp Chà m (sometimes called Panduranga) is Ninh Thu?n's capital city and it's alive with indigenous Cham culture; visit the 13th-century Po Klong Garai temple, or climb the flower-banked stone steps to Po Ro Me tower. It's well worth venturing to Ninh Thu?n's neighbouring provinces for a change of scene: head south for the crowded, lively hub of Phan Thiet; north to see the beaches at Nha Trang; and west to wander the forest and admire the lakes and waterfalls of mountainous Da Lat.
The closest airport to the Resort is Cam Ranh (CXR), a scenic 60- to 70-minute drive from the resort. Direct domestic flights are available from Ho Chi Minh City (1 hour), Hanoi (1 hour 45 minutes) and Da Nang (1 hour 25 minutes), while direct international flights are available from Bangkok, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur and Chongqing.
