The innovative team at Epikurean Hotels, Villas and Hideouts has redefined the oft used expression – remote but accessible – with the opening of Ca Lam Villas at the recently launched, eco-friendly luxury resort of An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas.

Just a four-minute boat trip from the resort with two spacious villa accommodations, Ca Lam has been awarded its own identity so as to position it as a truly individual experience – perhaps the essential hideout?

Nestled just three palm-fringed beaches away from An Lam Villas in Vietnam’s spectacular Ninh Van Bay, the villas at Ca Lam come with a comprehensive range of all-inclusive guest comforts:-

All meals and drinks
Unlimited spa treatments from the massage menu
Arrival and departure transfers between Cam Ranh International Airport and Ca Lam,
Transfers to Nha Trang for any excursions with the guest’s personal boat and skipper

The two air conditioned beach villas, accommodating one couple each have indoor/outdoor bathrooms and private pool. Open sided living spaces designed with traditional Vietnamese thatched roofs provide a shady refuge for relaxation, meals, favourite libations and spa treatments. The villas come complete with a personal chef, a butler to serve and a private masseuse.

Robinson Crusoe would be very envious!

The recently opened An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas is an inspiring resort of just 35 private villas. In addition to the exclusive Ca Lam Villas hide out, An Lam is about to unveil its newest category of luxury accommodation – five stunning lifestyle villas, each with two bedrooms and a host of refinements for the discerning traveller.

The spacious villas blend modernity with traditional Vietnamese touches, with every detail addressed to ensure comfort and a sense of natural style. From an indulgent rain shower to an in-villa bar stocked according to guest’s wishes. The beachfront location offers the best of both worlds with either luxuriating in the private swimming pool or taking a few steps for a dip in the bay!

With two bedrooms, the villas are ideal for two couples vacationing together, with enough space to comfortably accommodate a couple of kiddies also. Each offers an oversized entertaining deck and living area where a private dinner prepared by a personal chef can be enjoyed.

The villas include a host of complimentary creature conveniences, including complete entertainment system stations and resort iPods custom loaded with the music of choice, wireless internet and high-definition flat panel television.

The surroundings at An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas and Ca Lam Villas are inspiring – tropical forest cascading from the bay’s mountainous backdrop down to a lagoon and the South China Sea. Massive granite boulders strewn throughout the landscape; and a long sandy beach are just waiting to be rediscovered.

The cuisine is diverse, with an emphasis on discovering the best of Vietnamese dishes. There are classic eastern and western favourites and an impressive wine cellar from the old and new worlds, plus a range of chilled beers to quench the tropic thirst. Private dining is a speciality, with a host of locations from which to choose.

From arrival at Cam Ranh airport, guest are met and escorted on the 30-minute trip to Nha Trang City. 16 kilometres north of the city is the resort’s welcome sala and departure pontoon. Transferring to a resort speedboat, it is just an 8-minute crossing to An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas.
