Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô
Succumb to luxurious and lackadaisical days along the verdant Vietnamese floodplains
Amid a grassy 98-hectare expanse of Vietnam’s Phu Yen coast is a newly opened homage to life along the Mekong and amid rice paddies, Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô. Paying homage to the vernacular, stilted architecture characteristic of most traditional Vietnamese homes, the hotel’s 71 pool villas, each enshrouded within bamboo and palm thicket, capture life along the floodplains, from the special construction out of reclaimed wood to the interior décor that’s alive with Vietnamese artefacts, paintings and silk prints. Rounding out the property are three restaurants with a strong emphasis on the fish and seafood dishes beloved by local villagers, as well as an array of unique experiences that include harvesting oysters or receiving ritualistic blessings.
