Accommodation

The newly redesigned villas reflect a thoughtful evolution of space and materiality. Interiors have been discreetly expanded, extending the overall footprint to offer an airy sense of architectural breathing room. Deep dark timber flooring is now framed by tailored drapery in soft, muted white/gold color tones, casting a subtle warmth across the living quarters.

Most notably, the bathroom layout has undergone a striking enhancement: the previous sunken tub has been thoughtfully repositioned toward the back extension of the pavilion, creating an expanded, light-filled bathing enclave that opens onto serene private garden views. Timeless favorites remain ever‑present—the invigorating outdoor rain shower, the discreetly hidden television console, and the inviting daybeds that grace the terrace.

Dining

Culinary experiences across the estate celebrate precise craftsmanship and artisanal flair. Mornings unfold at Café Nam Hai with an understated yet exquisite favorite—Crushed Avocado; a warm, buttery croissant crowned with crushed avocado, a perfectly poached egg, peppery rucola, sun‑dried tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and a delicate shaving of aged parmesan. The buffet spread rivals the à la carte offerings, presenting an array of gourmet bites alongside fresh coconut and sparkling wine in free flow—perfect for crafting a refreshing morning Mimosa or savoring the effervescence straight, as it is.

Midday dining at La Sen shines with the crisp Ha My Ceviche, where tender cobia is delicately cured and lifted by fresh coriander, the tropical brightness of passion fruit, and a subtle carrot dressing that lends gentle sweetness and earthy balance. Dinner continues the journey with delicate Hokkaido Scallops, seared to perfection and dressed in the kitchen’s proprietary XO sauce—a symphony of dried seafood, aromatic spices, and smoky depth—accented by the refreshing crunch of kohlrabi and the citrus burst of finger lime pearls.
