Designer Bill Bensley lends his expertise to the luxurious interiors
* Luxury resort Bai Bac Bay villa has opened in picturesque Vietnam, built into the mysterious hills of Monkey Mountain in the heart of the Son Tra Peninsula nature reserve – halfway between Northern Hanoi and the Southern metropolis of Ho Chi Minh.
Marking the latest addition to its global portfolio of penthouses and villas, InterContinental has announced the introduction of the luxury Bai Bac Bay villa in picturesque Vietnam – billed as both a hotel and work of art. Built into the mysterious hills of Monkey Mountain in the heart of the Son Tra Peninsula nature reserve – halfway between Northern Hanoi and the Southern metropolis of Ho Chi Minh – Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort provides unrivalled views of its stunning private bay.
The villa has been designed by famed architect and interior designer Bill Bensley, renowned for sustainable hotel projects including the Shinta Mani Wild Bensley Collection, Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle and JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay 'Lamarck University'. His design for the Danang Sun Peninsula was inspired by the abstract work of painter and printmaker Sean Scully who has twice been nominated for the Turner Prize.
Nestled on a secluded mountain slope for maximum privacy, the lavish beachfront villa is fit with large living spaces ideal for a contrasting break from the hustle and bustle of the city, two king bedrooms and one queen, three serene infinity pools, a variety of sun decks and terraces and kitchen. The impressive bathrooms are also equipped with the enormous marble bathtub the resort is known for.
