Six Senses Ninh Van Bay
Vietnam
It is by water that Ninh Vân Bay is usually reached: the Hòn Hèo peninsula holds it behind its mountain, away from the roads. Rounded granite boulders come down from the forest into the sea, onto beaches where the reef shows through. Fishermen still take out round boats of woven bamboo, driven by a single oar. At Hòn Khói, salt workers rake up the salt before the heat sets in, and the white heaps rise along the pans.
