This tropical peninsula holds a treasure trove of myths and legends just waiting to be discovered in a secluded private location nestled amidst the lavish green rainforest that paints a picture straight out of a fantasy. Aptly named the "crown jewel" of South East Asia, the resort was designed by the famed American architect extraordinaire, Mr. Bill Bensley who has designed over 180 resorts and his team today consists of 200 talented architects, interior designers, landscape architects and fine artists. The InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort marked a new special beginning for Bill. Described in his own words: "I had never been so very obsessed with the designing of every last element that the guest sees." Here he has reimagined Vietnamese design, history and myth with his characteristic whimsy to create a magical retreat over four levels—Heaven, Sky, Earth and Sea. From the moment you arrive you'll be pampered by the resort's service and unparalleled amenities. Indulgences fill each room, suite, penthouse and villa at the resort. Views make the most of the dramatic setting while interiors drape you in Vietnamese-inspired décor Nonetheless, Mr. Bill Bensley is not the only world-class personality helping to create unforgettable experiences for our guests. The 2015 World's Best Chef, three-star Michelin Chef Pierre Gagnaire, leads the team of the French fine dining restaurant, La Maison 1888, listed by CNN among the 10 World's Best New Restaurants 2016. Whilst world class culinary artistry can be experienced at La Maison 1888, other master craftsmen whose contribution help make the resort become a one-of-a-kind wellness destination are Paul Harnn and 'Foot Vituoso' Bastien Gonzalez. An idyllic private lagoon with eight specially designed treatment villas house the HARNN Heritage Spa, named by World Spa Awards 2015 as World's Best New Hotel Spa and Vietnam's Best Hotel Spa. This sanctuary is a slice a heaven within the peninsula, offering a temporary escape from the chaos of urban living. Last but not least, the world's most sought- after pedicurist Bastien Gonzalez and his team at the unique Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio, will treat your tired feet to the ultimate pedicure that will complete your stay at this magical paradise.
