It’s more barefoot bohemian than classic luxury, but this collection of Water Pool Villas at Six Seasons Hotel in Nha Trang have been named the sexiest accommodations in the world.
The Vietnamese hideaway caught the attention of the Smith Hotel Awards 2014, operated by online booking platform MrAndMrsSmith.com.
The 154-square-metre villas sit on the edge of the coral bay, offering luxurious yet rustic seclusion for couples getting away from it all.
The sunset-facing lodges have a split-live layout with an open bathroom and tanning area, which is all completely private, until you summon the butler, who's available 24 hours a day.
The criteria for the award:
“Water Villa 5 is the pick of the bunch, with an infinity-edge plunge pool set seductively into the rocks, a private ladder leading into the ocean, and rustic-luxe good looks that conjure a cocoon of pure castaway romance,” the judging panel declared in a statement.
The trio of judges was comprised of TV presenter Anna Richardson, burlesque star Immodest Blaize and singer-songwriter Jessie Ware.
Voting took place by website users across 12 categories before being compiled into top 10 lists and presented to judging teams. The panel also named Viceroy New York’s Suite 57 as runner-up.
