Menu composition reflects the distinctive flavor, rhythm, and rituals rooted in place through both local Vietnamese cuisine and international appeal. Guests enjoy an array of dining experiences across seven different interpretations of Nature, that showcase the region's abundant seafood and fresh ingredients, expertly prepared by world-class culinary teams. Crafted Connections, on the other hand, bridge generations through culture, care, and creativity, embodying the spirit of togetherness in meaningful ways. This is a resort designed for connection; with each other, with nature and with the soul of Vietnam. Families, friends, and curious travellers are invited to discover local crafts, share in stories, and create memories that weave together generations and cultures, fostering bonds that transcend time and place through shared experiences and authentic cultural immersion.
