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.”
A resurgence in high-end travel to Egypt is being driven by museum openings, private river journeys and renewed long-term investment along the Nile.

A resurgence in high-end travel to Egypt is being driven by museum openings, private river journeys and renewed long-term investment along the Nile.
2 minAbercrombie & Kent says demand for Egypt is rising sharply across its key markets, with the destination now ranking among the company’s top performing regions for 2026.
The luxury travel group reports strong year-on-year growth across the UK, US and Australia, spanning private journeys, small group itineraries and high-end celebration travel.
Some Egypt itineraries in the US market have more than doubled compared with last year, while forward bookings already extend into 2027.
Industry observers point to a renewed confidence in Egypt as a destination, underpinned by significant cultural investment and a growing appetite for deeper, more personalised travel experiences.
One of the main catalysts has been the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, located beside the Giza Plateau.
The museum, the largest in the world dedicated to a single civilisation, brings together the full collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures for the first time and has reignited interest in Cairo as a standalone cultural destination rather than a gateway stop.
Abercrombie & Kent’s Senior Vice President, Egypt, Amr Badr, said: “The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum has been transformative – we’ve seen a significant surge in enquiries since November, and the calibre of traveller is remarkable.
“These are culturally curious guests seeking genuine immersion rather than surface-level touring.
“They’re booking private after-hours access to the museum, arranging consultations with Egyptologists, and approaching Egypt with the same intentionality they’d bring to any major cultural pilgrimage.
“Egypt has always been extraordinary, but 2026 feels like a renaissance moment – the perfect convergence of world-class infrastructure and a new generation discovering why this civilisation has captivated humanity for millennia.”
According to Abercrombie & Kent, British travellers are increasingly pairing museum-led experiences in Cairo with classic Nile journeys, while demand is also rising for private dahabiya charters and bespoke river itineraries.
In Australia, repeat high-spend travellers are returning to Egypt for milestone celebrations, often opting for private touring and exclusive access experiences.
The company is responding with further long-term investment along the Nile. Later this year it will launch Nile Seray, a new luxury riverboat that will feature in a private journey debuting in 2026.
A second vessel has already been commissioned, signalling confidence in sustained demand for high-end river travel in the region.
Egypt occupies a central place in the company’s history. Founder Geoffrey Kent first introduced Nile cruising to the brand in the late 1970s with the SS Memnon, laying the foundations for what has since become one of its most enduring destinations.
Nile Seray is now accepting reservations for departures from October 2026, with four-night voyages priced from USD $3,125 per person.
