Nestled on a private peninsula in the province of Dăk Lăk, Bãi San Hô offers rich and authentic cultural heritage and natural beauty away from mainstream tourist destinations. The region is known for its spectacular sunrises and unique biodiverse landscapes that include the ancient Da Dia Reef (meaning ‘Sea of Cliffs’), more than 189km of coastline, lakes, bays, and coastal island clusters containing over 300ha of coral reefs. Surrounded by lush vegetation and traditional paddy fields, the area is also home to floating fishing villages that offer the freshest local seafood.

Travel Tips

Zannier Bãi San Hô can be visited all year long. Dăk Lăk is divided into two seasons: dry and wet. The dry season starts in March and continues until the end of September. This is the best time to enjoy our resort. Temperatures are pleasant (between 25°C and 34°C) and the temperature of the sea is perfectly fine. Evenings and nights can be cooler (around 22°C). October to January is considered to be the rainy season, with a cooler climate in the mainland (between 20°C and 25°C) during the day, and an average of 20°C at night.

Phu Cat (UIH) in Gia Lai, and Tuy Hoa (TBB) in Dăk Lăk are between 1 hour and 1 hour 20 minutes’ drive away. Both rides offer a glimpse into the region’s warm hospitality and laid-back vibe. Several flights a day connect Phu Cat and Tuy Hoa with Hô-Chi-Minh-City and Hanoi. The Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR) in Nha Trang is an alternative for international travellers. Limousine transfers are provided upon request at an additional charge.

A protected coral bay

Located within a protected marine area, Zannier Bãi San Hô’s private bay is home to one of the best-preserved coral reefs in Vietnam, extending across approximately 26,000 m² and supporting more than 40 species of reef-building corals and 20 species of soft corals. An initial assessment found coral coverage across 60% of the reef, providing an important foundation for marine biodiversity. Guests can discover this remarkable underwater world through snorkeling, while the resort actively contributes to its protection and regeneration through an ongoing coral restoration programme in partnership with SASA. Since 2024, conservation efforts have included removing 180 kg of ghost nets, plastic and debris, approximately 250 kg of sunken wood, and invasive species, as well as restoring 200 m² of coral and establishing a 100 m² coral garden dedicated to the long-term regeneration of the reef.
