Amanoi Unveils First Ocean Pool Residence in Vietnam

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.”

When an estate has been carefully curated by its wealthy owners for more than a decade, the next custodian knows they’re in for a treat of a retreat.

Food-packaging entrepreneur Ted Nathan and his wife, Jenny, purchased the original 25ha Ravensdale Farm in Yarramalong Valley for $1.35 million 12 years ago according to title records.

Since then, the pair have reportedly invested more than $5.5 million to acquire several neighbouring parcels in order to create a contemporary compound now measuring more than 49ha.

Today’s Ravensdale Farm and Retreat, about 24kms from Wyong, is now a dual-estate 12-bedroom, 11-bathroom luxury landholding.

The property is expected to sell for about $30 million via an expressions of interest campaign with Cullen & Royle agents Deborah Cullen and Richard Royle.

Alongside the modern three-storey five-bedroom farmhouse, there is a long list of “must have” resort-style amenities and productive farmland primed to produce a passive income.

Framed by a 4m wraparound veranda, the sophisticated main residence has several outdoor spaces for homeowners and their guests to soak up the bucolic backdrop, lush paddocks and established gardens.

Inside, the homestead features multiple living spaces for grand scale entertaining inside and out, a library, a home office, private cinema, games room and accommodation designed for large families or a steady stream of weekend guests.

Custom made for hosting year round, the expansive estate also includes a sports bar with a commercial-grade kitchen, a championship size tennis court which can be transformed into an alfresco cinema when the mood strikes.

Additional spaces designed for fun include a sunken fire pit, a hidden garden with a European-inspired pétanque court, a pickle ball court and a private paddock dedicated to major events and functions.

There is also a separate second residence, Ravensdale Retreat, devoted to guest stays or potential short-term accommodation.

The bonus residence is set up to provide a fully self-contained experience outside of the main home when needed. It has a choice of bedrooms, a spacious living area, an outdoor pavilion, pizza deck, and its own pool.

Beyond its weekender credentials, Ravensdale Farm lives up to its name. A working farm, the estate has cattle infrastructure, fertile pastures featuring Kikuyu and Rhodes grasses complemented by high end irrigation and water systems, as well as land management systems designed for efficiency and long-term resilience.

The land can comfortably support cattle and horses – currently home to approximately 40 cows and calves, plus horses – and has productive fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, a chicken coop and a restored century-old barn.

Surrounded by the rolling green hills of the Yarramalong Valley, Ravensdale Farm and Retreat is approximately a 25-minute drive from Wyong and around 90 minutes from Sydney with coastal hotspots like Terrigal and The Entrance are within easy reach.

Ravensdale Farm and Retreat is on the market with a price guide of $30m via an expressions of interest campaign with Cullen Royle.
