Six destinations, six distinct rhythms. Sushi shaped by season, wine guided by instinct, Vietnamese cuisine rooted in memory, and retreats defined by landscape come together in a portrait of modern hospitality that feels thoughtful, expressive and unmistakably connected to place.
Amane Sushiya - Quiet Precision of Edomae
At Amane Sushiya, luxury is expressed through restraint, seasonality and an uncompromising respect for Japanese sushi tradition. Presented as Vietnam’s first authentic sushiya, Amane places the time-honoured craft of Edomae-style sushi at the centre of an intimate dining experience. Ingredients are carefully sourced from Japan’s markets, selected according to season and treated with the precision required to reveal their purest character. Behind every piece lies a disciplined sequence of preparation—curing, ageing, slicing and seasoning—where technique is present but never allowed to overshadow the ingredient itself. The result is sushi that feels fleeting by design: prepared for one precise moment and intended to be experienced immediately. Amane is less about spectacle than concentration. For the discerning diner, it offers an elegant encounter with one of Japan’s most exacting culinary traditions, interpreted in Saigon with reverence, patience and remarkable attention to detail.

MÀU - The Taste of Colour
MÀU means “colour” in Vietnamese, and at this intimate Hanoi gastro wine bar, the name becomes a philosophy for both plate and glass. Set near the Temple of Literature, MÀU draws energy from Hanoi’s dialogue between heritage and contemporary life. Rather than adopting the formality of a conventional wine bar, it creates something warmer and more instinctive, where local memories meet global influences and a playful modern sensibility. Each plate brings its own shade and character, while the sommelier-led wine selection is designed not simply to impress, but to engage closely with the food, deepening flavour, aroma and mood. Relaxed yet thoughtful, MÀU is a gathering place for curious diners and wine lovers. Here, colour is more than visual—it is found in flavour, conversation and the lingering impressions of an evening spent discovering something new.

Bếp 12 Mùa - Rhythm of a Vietnamese Table
In Vietnam, the seasons have always found their way to the table. They arrive in the fragrance of herbs, the sweetness of the sea, the first harvest, and in flavours that quietly awaken memories of home. At Bếp 12 Mùa, this timeless rhythm becomes a culinary language of its own. Guided by the beauty of mùa nào thức ấy, the kitchen follows nature rather than fashion, allowing ingredients to speak at the moment they are most expressive. There is poetry in this simplicity. Familiar flavours are gently reimagined, yet their soul remains unmistakably Vietnamese. Each dish carries something of the land, the season and the memories that have travelled through generations. Here, dining unfolds like a story told slowly around the table — warm, generous and deeply personal. Because at Bếp 12 Mùa, every season brings a new flavour, every table holds a memory, and every meal becomes another chapter of Vietnam.

Chồ Dining - Where the River Remembers
Inspired by the river houses that once lined Đà Nẵng’s Hàn River, Chồ Dining, The River’s Heritage translates memory and place into a contemporary Vietnamese dining experience. Across 1,200 square metres, wood, bamboo, traditional tiles and a tranquil inner garden evoke the warmth of an old trading port, where people, stories and flavours once converged. The menu follows the same sense of place. Vegetables from Trà Quế and seafood from Thọ Quang port are approached with modern technique while remaining faithful to their origins. Familiar flavours are refined rather than reinvented, carrying an emotional connection to Central Vietnam and its landscape. Elegant yet soulful, Chồ Dining allows heritage to live beyond nostalgia. Here, the spirit of the river flows naturally into the present, creating a dining experience shaped by memory, craftsmanship and contemporary confidence.

Rixos Phu Quoc - An Island State of Mind
There is a particular kind of freedom found on an island, where days are guided by sunlight, sea breezes and the simple pleasure of having nowhere else to be. At Rixos Phu Quoc, that spirit takes on a distinctly contemporary rhythm. Set against the tropical beauty of Phu Quoc, the resort invites guests to embrace life at a slower, more instinctive pace. Mornings begin gently, afternoons drift between the water and moments of indulgence, while evenings arrive with a sense of celebration. Here, gastronomy, wellbeing and entertainment flow naturally into one another, creating an experience that feels generous without demanding attention. There is space for families to reconnect, for couples to retreat, and for travellers simply to surrender to the moment. Rixos Phu Quoc captures a new expression of island luxury: vibrant yet effortless, sophisticated yet wonderfully relaxed, where the greatest indulgence is the freedom to enjoy each day entirely your own way.

Auko - Whispers of the Wild
In the primordial beauty of Phong Nha–Kẻ Bàng, Auko feels less like a destination than a quiet return to nature. Thirty eco-wellness lodges rest gently between jungle, limestone mountains and the Son River, creating an intimate sanctuary shaped by the landscape. Inspired by Âu Cơ, the legendary mother of the Vietnamese people, Auko weaves Vietnamese heritage into a contemporary philosophy of mindful living. Mornings unfold with yoga beneath an open sky, while forest-to-table dining at Origin celebrates ingredients rooted in the region. Hidden caves become spaces for meditation and sound rituals, transforming Phong Nha’s extraordinary natural surroundings into part of the wellness journey. Sustainability is woven discreetly throughout, from solar energy and indigenous planting to reclaimed materials and locally rooted sourcing. Here, luxury is measured differently: in space, silence and connection. A place to slow down, breathe deeply and rediscover the simple pleasure of simply being.
