Two and a half hours from Ho Chi Minh City along a newly constructed highway, Azerai Ke Ga Bay in Vietnam’s Binh Thuan province invites travelers to a lesser-known stretch of coastline. Carefully planned and developed with sustainability in mind, Azerai Ke Ga Bay has emerged as an award-nominated and award-winning example of five-star boutique hospitality in a destination that is rapidly gaining attention from an adventurous, affluent international clientele.

Set on 11 acres of landscaped tropical gardens and fronting a five-kilometer sandy beach, the beachfront boutique resort maintains an intimate, grounded atmosphere. It is the only international resort in a long-established fishing village, and the property’s low-density layout reflects that setting: 57 spacious suites, thoughtfully designed pool suites, three swimming pools with pavilions, a spa and a chic restaurant allow guests to relax without overwhelming the local community or environment.
Despite its refined comforts, Azerai Ke Ga Bay feels far removed from Vietnam’s urban centers and high-rise resorts. The resort was intentionally integrated into an unspoiled coastal landscape of natural and cultural interest — from pristine beaches and traditional fishing communities to hot springs, salt fields and fruit gardens. Sand dunes rise to the west of the bay while Hon Ba Island and the historic Ke Ga Lighthouse sit to the east. Built in 1897, Vietnam’s oldest lighthouse is reachable on the hotel’s private boat tours, offering a glimpse of regional maritime history.

Guests can deepen their experience of Vietnamese hospitality through a variety of immersive, low-impact activities. The resort emphasizes sustainable experiences that connect visitors with the local way of life: non-motorized water sports, small-group excursions to nearby attractions such as dragon fruit farms, and village visits that avoid crowded tourist routes. On-site offerings include Vietnamese cooking classes, tailored spa therapies, outdoor yoga and guided meditation, providing a balanced mix of relaxation and cultural engagement.

Azerai Ke Ga Bay is the latest property from a young brand that champions simple elegance, thoughtful design and discreet, attentive service in settings of unique natural beauty and cultural significance. The brand was founded by hotelier Adrian Zecha, who combined his initials with the latter part of the Persian word caravanserai — a reference to the historic inns that once served travelers across the Middle East. Following Azerai La Residence in Hue, which overlooks the Perfume River in Vietnam’s former imperial capital, Azerai Ke Ga Bay represents the brand’s first beach resort, offering a contemporary take on refined Vietnamese hospitality in an unspoiled coastal setting.
