Inspired by the traditional thatched Ede longhouses found in the Vietnamese mountains, the four-bedroom Grand Bay Pool Villa offers a generous retreat for modern-day travelers looking for authentic Vietnamese luxury. The hillside villa is constructed over two levels and is bejeweled with outdoor terraces to make the most of the sweeping views over the bay of Bãi San Hô. Encased in flora, the Grand Bay Pool Villa sits near the top of the 245-acre resort — a natural Eden where the jungle meets the South China Sea on a secluded peninsula of the Phú Yên province.

Best feature: The beautiful interior is dotted with Vietnamese artifacts, paintings and local silk prints.
