73 villas in a secluded coral bay along a white sandy beach, off the beaten path in Dak Lak, Central Vietnam
An untouched bay, stilted villas above rice paddies, and a resort so committed to immersion that the fishermen next door become part of the experience.
There is a stretch of coast in central Vietnam that most travelers never find. No beach clubs. No high-rises on the horizon. Just a long arc of pale sand, a bay named for its coral reefs, and a resort that has decided, rather deliberately, to leave it that way.
Zannier Bãi San Hô sits on a private 98-hectare peninsula in Phu Yen Province, between the tourist trails of Hoi An and Nha Trang, yet feels entirely removed from both. Its name translates simply as “bay of corals,” and the property lives up to it: forested hills behind, reef-edged water in front, rice paddies and fishing villages just beyond the gate. For families looking to give their children a real encounter with Vietnam, not a filtered resort version, this is one of the most considered addresses in the country.






The Villas: Space for Families to Breathe
The 73 villas are built across three architectural traditions:
- Ede Highland longhouses for the hill and grand bay villas
- Cham heritage for those on the beach
- and traditional stilted construction for the terrace villas that overlook the resort’s rice paddies.
Each style blends into its surroundings as though it has always been there.
