Staying in a $750-per-night villa at a luxurious Nha Trang resort, South Korean newlyweds Ikkyun and Hanseul expressed their delight with the experience but wished they could have extended their stay to savor more of the serene environment.
The couple chose to visit a resort located on Ninh Van Bay, a secluded area in Ninh Hoa District, Khanh Hoa Province, about a 20-minute boat ride from Nha Trang.
The couple Ikkyun and Hanseul enjoyed a 2-day, 1-night vacation in Nha Trang.
The resort is built on a private island and primarily made from natural materials like stone and wood, surrounded by dense forest. In 2022, it was recognized by the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards as one of the 50 most-loved resorts worldwide.
Upon their arrival, both Ikkyun and Hanseul were amazed by the resort’s isolation, only accessible by boat. Hanseul couldn’t help but exclaim “Wow!” at the breathtaking scenery upon arriving.
“We decided to visit Nha Trang just because of this resort,” Hanseul shared.

The couple was also treated to a unique check-in ritual - making a wish by striking a ceremonial gong. “Men strike the gong seven times, and women strike it nine times,” explained a resort staff member.
Both Ikkyun and Hanseul enjoyed the experience and looked forward to their 2-day, 1-night stay, hoping it would surpass their expectations.
Ikkyun revealed that they had booked a villa worth 1 million won (approximately 18 million VND), nestled among the mountains and offering expansive views of the ocean. The two-story villa included a private garden, an infinity pool, and direct access to a private beach.
The villa offers a stunning view of the sea and beautiful scenery.
When guided by their private butler to the villa, the couple was amazed by the beautiful design and traditional décor, which included Vietnamese symbols such as conical hats, handmade bags, and woven straw accessories.
“The villa is designed with separate spaces for living and resting. The bedroom is lovely, with sunlight streaming in during the morning. The bathroom is also quite impressive, giving me the feeling of being in a spa. It features two sinks for men and women and a large wooden bathtub in the center,” Ikkyun described.
The couple was particularly captivated by the villa’s second floor, which had an open design that blurred the line between indoor and outdoor spaces.
“This place is like paradise - truly amazing. I can’t think of anything to complain about here. And yesterday, I didn’t even get bitten by a single mosquito!” Hanseul shared with a laugh.
Ikkyun and Hanseul had their first lunch at the resort's restaurant, which is designed to float on the pool.On the second morning, Hanseul and her husband enjoyed various Vietnamese dishes such as beef pho, banh xeo, and iced milk coffee.

The couple not only appreciated the resort’s stunning design but also enjoyed the various services and activities available. They spent time cycling, browsing the souvenir shop, and renting snorkeling gear to swim at the private beach.
During a walk around the villa, they even had the rare opportunity to spot a black-shanked douc langur, a species listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and Vietnam’s Red Data Book.
“We were told by the staff that seeing black-shanked douc langurs is rare here, but we were lucky to spot one right next to our villa. It was an incredible experience. I love this place so much; I don’t want to leave!” Ikkyun said excitedly.

Before leaving, the couple enjoyed one final activity - a romantic sunset boat ride, priced at 3.3 million VND. Ikkyun explained that this service was not included in the accommodation fee, but guests could book it in advance, choosing from options such as a wooden boat or a luxury yacht.
At the end of their trip, Ikkyun and Hanseul expressed their satisfaction with the experience and revealed their plans to return for a longer stay to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery and unique experiences the resort had to offer.
