There are few places left in the world where dining feels this cinematic. Set along a remote and unspoiled stretch of Vietnam's coral-fringed coastline, Zannier Bãi San Hô uses nature's raw beauty as its canvas – the whisper of the palms, the golden glow of dusk, the hush of a private beach – to create deeply moving, hyper-personal dining moments. This is not just about what's on the plate (though the seafood, caught metres from shore, is exceptional). It's about pausing time, dining where no one else has dined before, and crafting a memory that belongs to you alone.
From barefoot beach banquets under the stars to lantern-lit dinners in the rice paddies, Zannier Bãi San Hô has quietly become one of Asia's most sought-after destinations for private and bespoke dining. Each experience is a celebration of romance, flavour, and place, tailored entirely to the individual guest's desires.
Whether it's an intimate proposal, an elopement, a milestone birthday or simply a craving for connection, every detail is thoughtfully considered: from custom menus and curated wine pairings to floral styling, music, and service that melts into the background.
A Canvas of Wild Beauty
Located in Vietnam's lesser-known Phu Yen province – a coastal region famed for its untouched beauty and cultural richness – Zannier Bãi San Hô spans 245 hectares of jungle, rice paddies, and pristine beachfront. It's this dramatic natural landscape that makes the resort's dining experiences so evocative. Guests are invited to dine in complete seclusion, whether on a hilltop at sunrise, a garden terrace surrounded by tropical blooms, or with their feet in the sand, watching the sun slip into the South China Sea.
Recognised Romance
Zannier Bãi San Hô's growing reputation is reflected in its long list of global accolades. In 2021, it was named 'Most Romantic Hotel of the Year' by National Geographic, a testament to its rare ability to stir emotion and connection through setting, service, and soul. Most recently, in 2024, the resort was listed among Tatler Asia's 'Best 100 Hotels', further cementing its position as one of the region's most exceptional and desirable destinations.
Bespoke by Nature
Menus are fully personalised in collaboration with the resort's culinary team, and no two dining experiences are ever the same. Chefs can build menus around guest preferences, dietary needs, or even meaningful ingredients or family recipes. One signature experience involves a fresh seafood platter prepared live by the chef at Làng Chài, the resort's beachfront grill.
For those seeking a taste of tradition, the atmospheric Bà Hai restaurant – typically open only on select evenings – can be booked for private destination dining featuring regional Vietnamese dishes and storytelling.
Signature Settings Include:
- Sunset Beach Picnics– Think soft linens, firelight, flowing champagne and dishes grilled before your eyes on a stretch of deserted shoreline.
- Rice Paddy Dinners– Lanterns guide the way to an intimate table set in the fields, where heritage recipes are served beneath the stars.
- Hilltop Sunrise Breakfasts– Watch the coastline wake up with artisanal pastries, local fruit, and Vietnamese coffee served against sweeping views.
- Garden Tea Parties– Whimsical and floral, ideal for intimate gatherings with curated teas and light bites surrounded by birdsong.
Elevated, Always
For more formal occasions, a private dining room is also available within the resort's main building, offering an elegant yet understated space for meetings, celebrations, or discreet gatherings.
In a world where restaurant reservations are forgettable and five-star meals blur into one another, Zannier Bãi San Hô invites you to dine differently: intimately, intentionally, and impossibly beautifully.
