Besides, Ki-em Art House Resort is also a place for artists and art lovers from all over the world to come and explore the beauty of nature and to enjoy the arts.

Ki-em Art House Resort serves traditional Vietnamese food on a regular basis. European and vegetarian dishes also available on request. Seafood barbecue is served

The house by the sea is old, so old that its owner, the abstract Vietnamese-German artist known as Ki-em, has no idea of its real age.

Some 50 km north of Nha Trang, an immense field of salt runs along beside the street. The house is located on the shore at the end of a village road.

A women bamboo screen give on to a green garden whit rows of coconut palms and guavas dripping whit fruit. Standing among them are terracotta pots of all sizes, used to store fresh water or process fish sauce in this salty region where Ki-em's childhood memories reside.

The lamp standards look like 15th century Cham towers. A brick wall stands in middle of the garden, facing out to sea. It is piece of installation art which can be seen from far away.

"Everything here I have collected, inspired by memories of my homeland, and times of hardship in my life," said Ki-em.
It all gave me the feeling of returning to my own childhood home-walking along the beach in the morning, swimming in the sea, having a freshwater bath in the garden, falling asleep on a swinging hammock.

An open pavilion serves simple food: rice whit salt flavoured with sweet basil, claypot meat and fish, colour sticky rice. In the evening we barbecued seafood on a blazing fire, lulled by the lapping waves

The place gets its Vietnamese name of Doc Let because if you want to reach to the sea, you have to cross high sand dunes and if you are not strong enough, the sand would seem to hold you back and quite a few people to lag ("let" in Vietnamese) to the destination. However, there is a great compensation for you once you have finished your conquer of the dunes.

In front of you now would be a wonderful beach with fine, smooth, and pures and the blue sea with tiny waves. The sand beach runs as far as 10km from Dong Hai Village to the Cement Factory of Hon Khoi.

Doc Let is not only an ideal swimming beach, but its natural landscape is also quite attractive to tourists. Islands of every sizes and shapes off shore into two bows hindering the wave. The big island from afar looks like a sunbathing girl.

Not far to the north is the famous Van Phong Bay, one of the future tourist spots that the international Tourism Organization OMT has surveyed and highly assessed the future development of tourism of the area.

To the south, beyond the Cement Factory is Hon Heo, the former revolutionary base with so many heroic exploits that have not noted down in history. Also, only 2-3 kilometres from Doc Let, tourists can visit the Dong Hai fishing village, the salt fields of Hon Khoi or take a rest in the shade of the coconut palms and poplars or at windy shops beautifully decorated for a drink and other sea specialities such as fresh crabs, sentinel crabs, oysters,...at their own will.

Khanh Hoa Province , a rich land of history and culture. Located in the Southern part of central Vietnam, this coastal city is endowed with a special nature beauty, with its untouched bays, dreamy islands, white sand beaches, coral reefs, Cham historical remnants and peaceful fishing villages.

Khanh Hoa is home to a number of stunning natural features. About 50km north of Nha Trang, Van Phong Bay , one of the deepest bays in the world and a favourite with scuba divers, is a wild paradise famous for its untouched beaches, beautiful mountains, and pristine forests with hundreds of species of rare plants and animals. This beautiful bay contains a number of islets, peninsulas and beaches, and is home to a diverse range of ecosystems, including rainforests, mangrove swamps and sand dunes.

There we can develop many kinds of sea and mountain sports, such as windsurfing, diving, sailing, climbing, mineral water bathing... According to the Plant of Developing Tourism in Vietnam, the beautiful Van Phong Bay (especially Ki-em Art House Resort) is totally available for green tourism.
