Every villa has its own pool. The main pool is spacious and quiet, with a beachside location.
Download your desert island disks. You’ll want tunes, books and an array of swimwear to fully kick back.

Overview
They’ll love it here as much as you. There’s a free children’s club with organised activities, located conveniently close to the bar (we’re just saying). All villas include double day-beds that can be converted to twin beds. Baby cots are supplied free.
Best for
Children aged four years and older will enjoy the pool and kids' club to the full.
Recommended rooms
All villas are self-contained, so ideal for families. One- and two-bedroom Beachfront Pool Villas are near the shore for sandcastle-keen tots. All villas have pools, so keep a good eye on non-swimmers.
Crèche
The free Sub Club kids' club operates all day from 9am to 4:30pm, is run by qualified staff, and welcomes all ages. It's equipped with a soft corner, games, DVDs, arts and crafts, a Wii console and DVDs.
Activities
The kids' club organises a raft of activities: painting, drawing, watching movies, cookie making, ping pong, and more. Outdoor options include mini gardening sessions, sandcastle competitions, football, beach games, snorkelling, eco tours of the reef with a glass-bottomed boat, treasure hunts, sporting events and junior fashion parades. Kids can also escape to the spacious, beach-facing play house (conveniently located near Dining by the Bay restaurant, in case they want to get up after a meal) or the Pirates' Lair, an alfresco adventure playground, near Dining by the Pool, which includes a fun ship, monkey bars and picnic tables.
Swimming pool
All villas come with a plunge pool. The main pool has a shallow end perfect for mini Smiths.
Meals
All the restaurants have children's menus, and the kitchen is happy to heat milk and baby food as required. High chairs are provided, and the resort can make packed lunches for little ones to order. During peak season, Six Senses can also offer special dining distractions for kids, including open-air movie nights with pizza and tented beach camp barbecues with a fire and live guitarists.
Babysitting
Available from USD 14 per hour in the villa or the Sub Club (the free Sub Club runs from 9am to 5pm). Private in-villa babysitters may require a break at noon.
No need to pack
Cots are provided free but request one when booking.
Also
The double day-bed in your villa can be converted into an extra bed for two children, but please let the resort know when booking. The Hilltop, Water and Rock villas are less suitable for very young kids or the physically challenged, due to their locations on the hillside or stony water's edge of the resort.
Six Senses Ninh Vanh Bay has a very green outlook. When building the resort, they kept as much of the surrounding nature as the could, including many of the trees that were on the site and ensured everything was solar powered. They also plant new trees, clean the beach, remove anything that could harm the coral reefs, help provide access to clean water and support local schools by hosting sustainability classes and annual scholarships for underprivileged students. Organic waste is composted and used in the vegetable garden, which is watered with wastewater. The hotel are also working closely with Green Viet, to protect the endangered Langur monkeys that live around Southern Vietnam and Eastern Cambodia.
