A boat-access bay resort of private pool villas, with a hilltop deck and beach for small ceremonies.
The Setting
Six Senses Ninh Van Bay is in Ninh Hoa in Khanh Hoa province, on a bay facing the East Vietnam Sea, and it can be reached only by water. From Cam Ranh Airport it is about 60 minutes by car to a lounge in Nha Trang, then around 20 minutes by boat.
Every villa has a private pool. There are nine villa types, set on the beach, over the water, among the rocks and up the hillside, ranging from one to three bedrooms. The three-bedroom Hill Top Reserve, Water Reserve and Rock Retreat each sleep nine. It is a spa and wellness resort, with a bamboo massage and a conservation project for a troop of endangered monkeys in the hills.
The day itself
The resort lists several wedding spots. The beach is offered for smaller vow renewals, and Dining by the Rocks is a hilltop restaurant serving contemporary fusion food that doubles as a wedding chapel, with about 22 seats on its wooden deck and views over the bay. The Jetty and the Wedding Pavilion are also named.
Dining by the Rocks is listed for 60 people for cocktails. Ceremonies here are symbolic, with non-legal wedding certification along with flowers, food and music, so plan the legal marriage at home in the UK. The team works with weddings of 20 to 120 guests. Ask about numbers on the beach, the Jetty and the pavilion, and the music curfew.
Where your guests stay
Guests stay in the private pool villas, so ask the team how many there are and whether a buyout is possible. One-bedroom villas take up to three, the two-bedroom villas take five, and the three-bedroom reserves take nine, ideal for a family group.
The journey is part of the experience. Fly into Cam Ranh, where a driver meets you, then take the road and boat transfer the resort arranges, shared or private. Around the wedding there are hillside walkways, bicycles, yoga mats on request, a bamboo massage at the spa and a sunset cruise across the bay with drinks and canapés. Keep an eye out for the shy monkeys in the hills. The Michelin Guide awards the resort one Key.
Use the boat transfer as the start of the celebration. Arriving together by water sets the scene, and the sunset cruise makes an easy second-night gathering.
