The Haven ought to be renamed Heaven, because it is just that - utterly heavenly. It’s in a glorious situation, at the end of a longish cove, which is basically a fishing village. The coracles are lined up and go out at dawn and again near sunset to bring back the seafood for which Bãi Xép is rightly famous. This was my second stay. The first was in 2021, during the Tết holiday in Vietnam, and they managed to fit us in at a difficult time, with Covid reappearing. In February/March, the sea can be stormy, but on calm days it’s as good as it was in August, for my second visit. The staff are wonderfully helpful and love to chat. The food is fine but the ambience and the views are why I will go back there again and again. My favourite heavenly retreat in all of Vietnam.
