STORY OF MANGO BAY

Welcome to Mango Bay Resort

Mango Bay feels a long way from the noise and bustle of the city, a beach resort to de-stress and luxuriate in. The ten-hectare, low density resort holds some very up to date surprises, a cocktail bar serving tropical and topical drinks, restaurants where pared down Italian and innovative Vietnamese menus make use of the glorious seafood and other local, natural produce. The recently renovated spa is available to bring your levels of relaxation to new heights and every beautiful room and villa is spaced for maximum enjoyment. Mango Bay is a gloriously comfortable place to get away from it all, and focus on sensual you.

LIVE IT THROUGH YOUR SENSES

Playful waves breaking on the shoreline, the aroma of world class shrimp on the barbeque, the sight of an early moon in the sky. Mango Bay is a paradise for the senses, a holiday playground to let Mother nature bring tranquillity into our busy lives. The perfect place for sensual, wonderful you.
