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.”

GAC unveils Australian specifications for its all-electric AION V SUV, combining global design and next-gen battery technology.
2 min
The wait is over. GAC has confirmed the Australian specifications for its all-electric medium SUV, the AION V, available in Premium and Luxury trims.
The model, available in more than 20 markets worldwide, combines progressive design with advanced EV engineering, offering a long-range, fast-charging alternative that redefines what Australian drivers can expect from electric mobility.
BUILT ON INNOVATION
Selling more than two million vehicles in China last year, GAC has emerged as a leader in new-energy mobility, drawing on decades of research and development and collaborations with Toyota and Honda.
Underpinning the AION V is GAC’s proprietary 400 V electric architecture, a densely packed 75.26 kWh battery, and extensive use of lightweight aluminium. The result: a 510 km WLTP range and fast charging from 30 to 80 per cent in just 16 minutes.
Its 150 kW motor produces 210 Nm of torque, while a heat-pump air-conditioning system improves overall power efficiency — hallmarks of the brand’s real-world engineering approach.
SAFETY FIRST
At the heart of the AION V’s safety credentials is the Magazine Battery 2.0, GAC’s patented technology designed for exceptional durability and fire resistance even under extreme conditions.
The SUV also meets i-Size, the latest international standard for child seat compatibility — reinforcing its credentials as a smart and secure family choice.
DESIGN WITHOUT BORDERS
Developed through GAC’s global design network, with studios in Milan, Los Angeles, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the AION V reflects the brand’s internationally influenced aesthetic.
Muscular proportions, a bold waistline and distinctive “dragon claw” lighting give it a confident, athletic stance, while inside, the cabin offers a calming, minimalist environment anchored by a 14.6-inch central display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Soft-touch materials, a panoramic glass roof with electric sunscreen, and 4 mm acoustic glass deliver a serene, premium ambience.
REFINED PRACTICALITY
Space is generous, with class-leading rear legroom of up to 1.1 metres and the ability to recline the front seats into a queen-bed configuration. A smart-sensor tailgate and 978-litre cargo capacity (rear seats folded) ensure practicality keeps pace with luxury.
The Luxury trim adds standout features, notably a 6.6-litre refrigerator hidden in the central armrest that cools to –15 °C or warms to 50 °C, and eight-point massage seats for driver and passenger.
READY FOR AUSTRALIA
Cheney Liang, Deputy General Manager of GAC Australia, said: “We’ve already delivered the AION V in over 20 countries worldwide, and we’re delighted that Australians can now experience this exceptional, feature-rich SUV for themselves.
“Whether choosing the Premium or Luxury model, every AION V represents the very best of modern electric powertrain technology, combining this with the safety, comfort and everyday practicality that truly make a difference in Australian life.”
Micro-needling promises glow and firmness, but timing can make all the difference.
