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.”

Australian furniture brand King Living has expanded its Aura Collection with the launch of a new modular sofa designed to blend contemporary aesthetics with adaptable living.

The Aura Sofa builds on the success of the Aura Island range, first introduced in 2023, which included indoor and outdoor sofas as well as fixed and swivel occasional chairs.

The latest evolution introduces modular functionality to the collection, allowing homeowners to configure the sofa to suit a variety of spaces and uses.

As living spaces continue to evolve, particularly in urban environments where flexibility is increasingly valued, furniture designers are placing greater emphasis on products that can adapt over time.

King Living says the new Aura Sofa has been developed with this trend in mind, enabling customers to create corner, L-shaped or U-shaped layouts, while also allowing additional modules to be added as needs change.

King Living founder David King said the original Aura concept began as an exploration of sculptural design before being reimagined as a modular system.

“Aura began as an exploration of sculptural form. Now, we’ve brought modularity into that design language, giving the freedom to reimagine your space with a modular design made for flexibility,” he said.

The collection’s defining feature remains its soft, flowing silhouette, with curved forms replacing traditional angular sofa designs.

The company describes the sofa as a response to changing lifestyles, where living rooms increasingly serve multiple purposes, from entertaining guests and family gatherings to quiet reading corners and work-from-home spaces.

Its rounded profile and minimalist aesthetic are intended to enhance the flow of contemporary interiors while maximising available space. According to the company, the design is equally suited to compact apartments and larger open-plan homes.

“Today, living space is both a luxury and a constraint. Aura is our response, a purposeful design that proves when intention and fluidity converge, the result can feel both expansive and refined,” King said.

Beyond aesthetics, the new sofa incorporates several engineering features synonymous with the King Living brand.

These include the company’s Postureflex steel suspension system, extra-high pocket springs and its signature steel frame, which is backed by a 25-year warranty. The company says the design has been engineered to deliver long-term comfort and durability.

Sustainability has also been a focus of the design. Each module features a removable cover that can be professionally cleaned, repaired or replaced individually, reducing the need to replace an entire sofa and potentially extending the product’s lifespan.

The Aura Sofa is available made to order in a range of premium fabrics and European leathers, allowing customers to tailor the piece to different interior styles and colour palettes.

Designed, manufactured and sold exclusively by King Living, the Aura Sofa launched in showrooms and online early this month, marking the latest addition to the Australian company’s growing portfolio of modular furniture designs.
