Reviewed by travel expert Danielle Phyland, The Anam Cam Ranh blends luxury, beachfront views, and Vietnamese charm on Vietnam’s South Coast.

The Anam Cam Ranh warmly welcomes guests from the moment they arrive into the luxurious resort with its chic colonial charm and perfectly manicured sweeping grounds.

Just 15 minutes from Cam Ranh International Airport, this five-star resort is tucked away from the busy centre of Nha Trang, fronting the calm waters of Cam Ranh Bay, with a beautiful expansive sandy beach, fresh ocean breeze, and lush tropical gardens.

The hospitable Vietnamese service at The Anam ensures a welcoming and relaxing experience from the very beginning.

The resort’s commitment to exceptional service is evident in each and every interaction with the attentive and friendly staff. From the concierge to housekeeping, every staff member is focused on quality guest services. 

The Anam leaves guests wanting for nothing, providing a plethora of activities, dining options, natural attractions, swimming pools, wellness experiences, and room choices – a stay here is truly an escape from the everyday.

New Luxury Stays

The Anam Cam Ranh Vietnam

A room with a view

The Anam has 75 villas, 96 rooms, and 40 premium suites, each carefully designed featuring local materials like teak wood and handmade fabrics.

Guests can choose from various room types, including mountain view, ocean view, and pool view, depending on what you would like your outlook to be.

All rooms are equipped with modern amenities such as air conditioning, private balconies, and luxurious bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable and indulgent stay. 

For our visit, we enjoyed a stay in the sea view villa, a wonderful room choice within easy walking distance of all guest facilities.

The room was spacious with a king-sized bed, tastefully tiled floors, a stunning bathroom complete with a deep-soak bathtub, and an expansive balcony with outdoor seating and a breathtaking view of the beach, including the magical sunrise.

The room has all the essentials for a comfortable stay, in-room robes and slippers, extensive bathroom amenities, complimentary fruit and kombucha, free wi-fi, a large smart TV, and complimentary drinking water.

It is easy to relax in the comfort of the villa with plenty of space to unwind.  The window seat is the perfect place to nap in the balmy tropical weather or curl up for some quiet time with a book.

There is a workspace great for remote work, travel planning, and calls to home, and the balcony is a great spot to enjoy an evening drink as the sun dips into the ocean.

From Pho to Fine Dining

Culinary experiences at The Anam are outstanding and include 3 restaurants, a beach club, and a bar, all serving some of the finest dishes and drinks in the country.

There is the French-inspired fine dining restaurant, which serves an exceptional degustation or a la carte dinner menu; an all-day dining venue for eastern and western standards; a Vietnamese restaurant and bar with all the traditional favourites; a classic bar for drink and snack; and a beach bar for sandy feet and happy hour cocktails.

Guests can also enjoy in-room dining at their leisure. The impeccable service continues throughout the hospitality venues, and nothing is too much to ask, with dietary requirements accommodated and special requests considered. 

The Colonial breakfast buffet is simply a spectacular way to start the day with a buffet of pastries, breads, spreads, fruit, and cereals supported by an extensive à la carte breakfast menu.

All served with a selection of tea and coffee and an optional breakfast mimosa! Guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor dining under umbrellas on the Colonial patio or in the restaurant.

Never a Dull Moment from Sunrise to Sunset

The Anam provides a wide range of activities. With three spacious swimming pools, a fitness centre, a tennis court, mini golf, and water sports equipment rentals, there’s no shortage of recreational options.

Guests can enjoy the on-site movie theatre, as the first resort in Vietnam to feature a 3D movie theatre that caters for up to 60 people with a wide selection of movies screened daily. An outdoor cinema on the lawn is also organised when the weather permits.  

For those seeking relaxation, the Anam Spa has a 10-treatment-room spa that offers a range of services, including massages and facial treatments.

In addition to the standard treatment rooms, there are four VIP rooms for couples, a beauty salon, a relaxation lounge, steam rooms, saunas, and outdoor jacuzzis.

This is certainly a great place to start your stay to release all the stress of the outside world. There are regular yoga classes on site and a full program of tours that take guests to some of the surrounding attractions and towns. 

A sprawling plot of land within the resort grounds has been transformed into a thriving kitchen garden called The Anam Farm. This patch features vegetables, herbs, and fruit, grown organically and harvested for the property’s kitchens. Guests are welcome to wander through the gardens and meet the animals that live on the farm.

Classic resort feels with a contemporary, luxury edge

The Anam Cam Ranh stands out as a serene and luxurious retreat that captures the essence of Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and the benefits that make resort stays so desirable.

Its combination of colonial design, high-quality amenities, and outstanding service makes it an ideal destination for travellers seeking both relaxation and a true escape.

Whether lounging by the pool, indulging in gourmet cuisine, or taking advantage of the beautiful beach, guests will leave here fully revitalised and recharged.
