Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh
Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh
Occupying a desirable location on the edge of the Van Long Primeval Tropical Forest Nature Reserve, the Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh has been designed to evoke a traditional Vietnamese feel while providing all the comforts of a modern luxury hotel.
This opulent hotel features wonderfully authentic architecture and traditional furnishings, and its 172 guest rooms come in three varieties of sizes, superior, deluxe and duplex. The spacious rooms all offer great views, and some open up onto terraces where you can relax in a comfortable lounge chair while admiring the scenery.
When it comes to dining, you have a choice between two restaurants, the healthy Organics Restaurant with pool views or the Sen Restaurant which boats a traditional Vietnamese interior and dishes from three culinary regions of the country. There’s also a pool bar and wine bar with a collection of labels from both the old and new worlds.
When you’re not lounging by either the indoor or the outdoor pools, relax at the spa La Cochinchine which offers a wide range of therapies and pampering options or visit the on-site Vietnamese market.

Places to combine Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh with
Phuket
Tucked away on the fringes of Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most ancient and biodiverse rainforests, Thanyamundra Organic Resort offers an intimate sanctuary with nine guestrooms. The setting is mesmerising: a patchwork of cultivated organic farmland gently gives way to dense jungle, while mist drifts across rolling emerald hills in the early morning.
Two teakwood residences, built in traditional Thai style, house the guest rooms. Within, antique furnishings add a sense of heritage and handwoven textiles bring warmth and colour.
Begin with yoga at dawn or a leisurely walk among rice paddies and vegetable gardens, before setting out to discover the wonders of the rainforest. Back at the resort, the infinity pool seemingly spills into the surrounding hills. From here, the horizon becomes a living panorama of forest, farmland and sky, shifting in colour as the day passes from morning to the glow of sunset. The spa provides another form of retreat, where traditional Thai treatments restore balance after a day outdoors.
Food is at the heart of the Thanyamundra experience. The resort’s organic farm supplies the kitchen with fragrant herbs, just-picked vegetables, tropical fruit and locally produced cheese. Meals, whether enjoyed in the open-sided pavilion or al fresco under the stars, are thoughtfully prepared to highlight the freshest seasonal ingredients.
