Six Senses Ninh Van Bay is delighted to announce the appointment of Hilton Grant Hastings as General Manager. A native of South Africa and a true outdoorsman, Hilton entered his first resort management role in Madagascar as a watersport and marina manager at Anjajavy L’Hotel. From there, he enjoyed steady career growth into various positions from assistant general manager, resident manager to general manager. In 2007, Hilton joined Constance Hotels and Resorts and managed resorts in Madagascar, Maldives and most recently in Seychelles. Hilton has immersed himself into his new role, overseeing all aspects of the property and even working with the culinary team to enhance the authenticity of the resort’s spectacular central Vietnam dining options. Hilton will also lead guests on guided snorkeling tours of the resort’s house reef and hikes to Bai Nho. Ever-hungry for knowledge, Hilton has a degree in Industrial Psychology, Marketing and Communication and earned several useful certificates such as: Golf Course Management; Royal Yacht Masters Ocean Sailing Skipper; Cornell Hospitality Management; Structural Surveying from BABTIE Engineering UK. Hilton is a natural linguist fluent in Afrikaans, French and English with some Italian, Malagasy and Zulu. Fly-fishing and scuba diving have kept him busy on and in the water, while on land he samples local cuisines. An adventure-enthusiast, he once trekked the coast of Mozambique with only a bindle or cloth sack on his back, nourished by the fruit of the sea and hospitality of the locals. Hilton is married to Anna, a doctor of Marine Biology, another multi-lingual who shares his passion for nature conservation and scuba diving. Together they have two adventurous, young daughters.

Hilton Grant Hastings is an alumnus of Cornell | Executive and Professional Education – Class of 2013.
