Checking in to Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô: Eleanor Pendleton’s one-of-a-kind Vietnam stay 💜

Long flown under the radar, this coastal corner of Vietnam’s Phu Yen province is finally stepping into the spotlight. Opened in 2021, Zannier Bãi San Hô is discreet, disconnected, and deeply restorative - a boutique retreat tucked between rice paddies, jungle, and an untouched sweep of private beach.

With just 73 villas across the peninsula (our advisors recommend the Hill Pool or Beach Pool Villas, designed with Vietnamese vernacular in mind), this is a stay made for a slow, intentional escape - just you, the jungle, and the occasional fisherman drifting past.

Eleanor Pendleton and her family recently spent seven nights here on their one-of-a-kind Vietnam holiday with Travel Associates.

Contact one of our expert advisors to follow in their footsteps - book your stay at Bãi San Hô, or even her exact Vietnam itinerary: http://travl.to/6188sDOky
