Zannier Hotels Bai San Ho in the south-central province of Phu Yen topped the 'Best Beach Hotel' category of the annual 2022 Kiwi Collection Hotel Awards.

The hotel was one of 12 awardees in the global list based on voting by a team of luxury hotel experts from Canada-based tour booking company Kiwi Collection, the world's most diverse curated collection of luxury hotels spanning more than 2200 facilities in 130 countries.

Other awardees were scattered around the world in France, Greece, Madagascar, Maldives, Morocco, Portugal, South Korea and Tanzania.
