Setting Pristine peninsula
In need of a little rescue? Isolated in a crescent-shaped bay accessible only by boat, the rustic yet undeniably luxurious Six Senses Ninh Van Bay boutique retreat near Nha Trang, in Vietnam, offers the weary a total reality break. Villas with decks over the sea, outstanding cuisine, butler service and the chance to dive, spa or simply laze will have you rejuvenated in no time.

Sleeping The rustic-luxe villas are self-contained, so ideal for families. Beach Pool Villas are near the shore for sandcastle-keen tots. The double day-bed in your villa can be converted into an extra bed for two children, but please let the resort know when booking.
Playing The kids’ club operates all day and is run by qualified staff. It welcomes all ages and offers a raft of activities: painting, drawing, watching movies, playing football and ping pong, and more.
Splashing Each of the villas come with a plunge pool, so you’ll need to keep an eye on juniors. The main pool has a shallow end that’s perfect for mini Smiths.
Feasting Whether you choose to dine by the bay, pool or rocks, all of Six Senses’ restaurants have children’s menus, and the kitchen is happy to heat milk and baby food as required. Highchairs are provided. If you’re heading out for the day, the resort can make packed lunches for little ones for snacks on the go.
No need to pack Cots are provided free, but you’ll need to request one when booking.
Time-out If you’re a Smith member, you’ll be treated to a 30-minute body scrub massage for two in the sublime Six Senses day spa. Take advantage of the hotel’s babysitting service for US$10 an hour.
