Aman has unveiled its first Ocean Pool Residence at Amanoi, the resort’s coastal sanctuary in Vietnam.
Nestled between Núi Chúa National Park and Vinh Hy Bay, the villa extends the brand’s tradition of creating intimate, exclusive retreats that offer a complete escape from the outside world.
Perched above a pristine stretch of golden sand, the 925-square-metre residence can be configured as two or three bedrooms.
Designed for families and groups seeking privacy and reconnection, the home features expansive interiors including an open kitchen, wine cellar and living room flowing onto a vast sundeck with panoramic ocean views.
An alfresco dining sala serves as a hub for entertaining, while two swimming pools, one a large central pool, invite relaxation with the ocean as a backdrop. Direct access to a private beach completes the setting.
Wellness is central to the experience. The villa is equipped with a private spa house featuring a double treatment room, steam room, sauna, outdoor Jacuzzi, ice-bucket shower and tranquil lounge.
Daily 90-minute spa treatments by Aman’s expert therapists are included for each guest, underscoring the brand’s focus on wellbeing.
Guests of the Ocean Pool Residence also receive exclusive benefits. These include a private barbecue or set dinner, a two-hour catamaran cruise across Vinh Hy Bay, 24-hour butler service, use of a private residence buggy, and a fully stocked minibar.
Daily breakfast and round-trip transfers from Cam Ranh Airport are included for stays of two nights or more.
Beyond the villa, Amanoi offers a wide range of land and sea adventures. Guests can take guided treks and bike rides through Núi Chúa National Park, snorkel in the bay, or head out on the water by kayak, Hobie Cat or stand-up paddleboard. For younger travellers, the resort runs a dedicated programme with fishing lessons, cookery classes, and arts and crafts.
The wider resort facilities include the lakeside Aman Spa, a hilltop infinity pool, and a central pavilion housing a restaurant, bar and library, along with the Beach Club. Together, they create a retreat that balances privacy with community.
According to Aman, the Ocean Pool Residence “offers all the comfort and reassurance of a private home in one of Vietnam’s most untouched coastal settings.”

Police, paramedics, firefighters and the public will walk from Newcastle to Penrith this September for World Suicide Prevention Day.
2 min
NSW schools, gyms, 000 services and the public are being called on to lace up for Steps for the Love of Living, a four-day, 200km walk from Newcastle to Penrith held in honour of World Suicide Prevention Day.
The walk will draw star power as well as solidarity: legendary MMA fighter and former WIBA and WBF world champion boxer Arlene Blencowe, known as “The Aussie Girl ‘Angerfist'” and a respected youth mentor, will join the walk’s final leg from Parramatta to Penrith.
She’ll be joined by five-time Olympian and diving icon Melissa Wu, Ambassador for the Step Into Action Foundation.
The walk runs from September 10 to 13, beginning on World Suicide Prevention Day itself, and starts at Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium before finishing at Penrith Showground.
It’s a joint initiative between The Australian Man Cave Support Group Inc and the Step Into Action Foundation, two organisations working on the frontline of suicide prevention in NSW.
The Australian Man Cave provides a safe, non-judgmental space for men to speak openly, with a focus on reducing the rate of male suicide, while Step Into Action concentrates on youth suicide prevention through resilience-building and early-intervention programs.
This year’s event also features a friendly inter-service challenge between NSW Police, NSW Ambulance, Fire & Rescue NSW, SES, Surf Life Saving NSW and the Rural Fire Service, who’ll compete to walk the furthest and raise the most for suicide-prevention initiatives.
“This walk is about hope, connection, and standing together,” said Lou Greco, President and Co-Founder of The Australian Man Cave Support Group Inc. “Every step taken is a step toward saving a life.”
Leading the charge is Chris Barton, Founder of the Step Into Action Foundation and a long-distance walking adventurer, who is taking on the full 200km route.
He’ll be joined for part of the way by the “Bakery Brothers”, Tyson Pedro and Rama Pattison, who are trading in punches and pastries for kilometres, walking the full distance alongside Chris.
How to get involved
The event is open to everyone, not just those able to walk the full distance. Participants can:
- Walk the full 200km from Newcastle to Penrith
- Join for a single day or section of the route
- Take part virtually from anywhere in Australia — at school, the gym, work or in the local community, logging kilometres through walking, running, rowing, cycling or treadmill sessions
000 services can enter as teams for the inter-service challenge, and schools and gyms are encouraged to form their own teams to complete the distance collectively.
Funds raised will go towards mental health first aid training, crisis response support, community outreach programs, support services for at-risk men and families, and youth suicide awareness and prevention programs.
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among Australian men and young people. Both organisations say the walk is about ensuring no one feels alone in their struggle.
