Pretty Little Green Things

Raise your hand if you’ve had enough of winter.  You can’t see me right now, but my hand is stretched as far up as it can get.  Unfortunately I’m not heading off on a tropical vacation anytime soon, so I figured a little warm weather inspiration was just the thing for the almost end of winter blues.  Let me introduce you to a gorgeous little resort in southern Vietnam called the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, so named for the little bay it sits on.

As with all Six Senses properties, this resort is equal parts stunning and sustainable.  Traditional Vietnamese architecture blends into the natural rocky landscape with 58 villas of varying sizes, from the Hill Top Villas all the way up to the massive Presidential Villa.  Using local and renewable resources is standard for this hotel group so you’ll see a lot of natural wood, stone and other materials throughout.  Their eco-consciousness touches on all aspects of energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, fair-trade and local community building.  Oh yeah, and did I mention this resort is stunning?

Yeah, so I wouldn’t mind eating my breakfast here.  Just saying.

The Water Villas are nestled into the rocky shoreline.

This is the interior of the Water Villas as seen above.

The Beach Pool Villas.  I’m not sure if that means they’re near both the beach and the pool, but does it really matter when they’re this gorgeous?

This is the bedroom of the Beach Pool Villas.  Here you get a good look at the local wood and other materials used.

I’m not really a bath person, but if I had a bathroom like this, I could totally be convinced!

Of course no Six Senses resort is complete without an amazing spa.  I’m loving the stepping stones and lanterns leading up to the entry.  Very zen.
