Located along the tranquil Cam Ranh Peninsula in southern Vietnam, Azerai Ke Ga Bay has been honored with the prestigious MICHELIN Key distinction—one of only 13 hotels in the country recognized in the first-ever MICHELIN-Key selection announced this October.
This accolade marks an important milestone for Vietnam’s luxury-hospitality scene and reaffirms Azerai Ke Ga Bay’s place among Asia’s most refined seaside retreats.
An Exclusive Recognition
The MICHELIN Guide, a globally trusted name in travel and dining excellence, introduced its new Key system to highlight outstanding hotels that embody exceptional design, service, and atmosphere. Azerai Ke Ga Bay received One Key, joining a select group of hotels praised for what editors called “essentially faultless in their comforts.”
Azerai Ke Ga Bay MICHELIN Key
The Guide noted the resort’s modern yet locally inspired architecture, its minimalist design, and the serene balance it achieves with the coastal landscape. “The look is tasteful and restrained, leaving space for the other senses and for the resort’s idyllic surroundings,” the editors wrote.
A Commitment to Refined Hospitality
Julian Moore, General Manager of Azerai Ke Ga Bay, said the award reflects the team’s ongoing pursuit of excellence:
“We are deeply honored to receive the MICHELIN Key distinction. It is a testament to Azerai’s commitment to refined service and attention to detail. Our staff take pride in creating a peaceful sanctuary where guests feel genuinely cared for.”
Azerai Ke Ga Bay is part of hotelier Adrian Zecha’s boutique Azerai collection, which also includes Azerai La Résidence, Hue. Zecha, the visionary behind the iconic Aman Resorts, has long been celebrated for crafting intimate, design-driven properties that emphasize authenticity and place.
A Coastal Sanctuary of Style
Set within five hectares of tropical gardens, the resort is a comfortable 2.5-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City via the new highway. To the east lies Hon Ba Island with its historic lighthouse, while golden sand dunes rise to the west—an idyllic backdrop for a quiet escape.
Earlier this year, the property gained international attention when it was voted the world’s second “Most Instagrammable Hotel” and the winner in Asia, the Indian Ocean and South Pacific region by Luxury Travel Advisor. The Times of London also listed it among Southeast Asia’s best boutique hotels in 2025.
Wellness and Recreation by the Sea
Azerai Ke Ga Bay continues to expand its guest offerings with outdoor yoga sessions on the beachfront and new golf packages at the PGA NovaWorld Phan Thiet Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman. These experiences blend health, nature, and understated luxury, reflecting Azerai’s signature philosophy of mindful travel.
