Experiences
Explore Vinh Hy Bay by kayak or catamaran, admire a rainbow of corals whilst snorkelling clear waters, or explore nearby fishing villages and discover the ancient culture of the Cham people. Here at the threshold of land and sea, Amanoi offers an array of eye-opening experiences and activities.
Discover the ancient heritage of the region’s Cham people, who once dominated the coast of southern Vietnam.
Bringing alive the rich and historic past of the Champa Kingdom, Amanoi’s guide will take guests on a journey of discovery into this ancient culture starting in Phan Rang with a visit to the Cham Museum.
From there the tour takes guests the Po Klong Garai Cham Towers. Built in the 12th and 13th centuries to honour the great King Po Klong Garai, the towers are perched atop a hill with 360-degree panoramic views. Three of the six original towers are remaining and provide a fascinating insight into the Hindu and Islamic influences on the Cham culture over the centuries.
Guests are invited to embrace the Scared Cham experience which starts at dusk with a gentle walk to our hidden spot set in the middle of nature. The Cham is well-known for their cuisine, thus a Cham feast is a requisite in this special journey. While enjoying dinner, allow your senses to embrace the beauty of nature, listen to the sounds of wildlife, feel the ocean breeze and gaze at the graceful ‘starry night’ sky.
Let your inner genius (even if hitherto undiscovered) spread its wings with a private painting class guided by one of Vinh Hy Bay’s esteemed local artists. Your easel will be set up in a picturesque outdoor setting like the deck of the lofty Rock Studio.
