L’Alya Ninh Van Bay, Nha Trang

Previously called An Lam Ninh Van Bay, L'Alya is a fantastic luxury resort on a secluded peninsula off the coast of Nha Trang.

You arrive by speedboat at this beautiful retreat set amongst tropical forests and mountains, studded with huge granite boulders, and of course a stunning white sandy beach. The hotel is on an isolated peninsula with no roads.

The resort philosophy is all about privacy, flawless service, top-notch food, and going out of their way to make your stay extra special. Butler service in your villa comes as standard and the hotel can arrange superb excursions tailored to you, be that a gourmet hampers for beach time, market tours and cooking classes, or guided nature trail walk through the rolling hills.

In each room, you’ll enjoy luxurious comforts. Every villa comes with a plunge pool, flat-screen television, DVD player, iPod and docking station, WIFI, AC and butler service, to be used as much or as little, as you like. The room is open-plan, and design features such as comfortable sofas and swinging chairs create a feeling that is laid-back and cosy, as well as luxurious. Sliding panels mean you can close off your room or open the whole villa to the outside.

There are many different room types set across 35 different villas, and all offer a different experience, so it's best to discuss with us. There are gorgeous two-bedroom pool villas which are perfect for the family. Or you can be right next to the beach; overlooking the resort's lagoon; or even in the hilltops in terrific treetop accommodation. Expect oversized bedrooms, living rooms and bathrooms, outdoor sala areas and tropical bamboo gardens.

What's more, the resort has a fully-equipped gym, library, all kinds of water sports, mountain biking, snorkelling and scuba diving. There's also a daily shuttle boat to town, which is handy.
