Best hotels in Nha Trang

Just a few salty steps off a beach that never seems to end, The Anam is a blend of top-notch facilities and a toes-in-the-sand spirit. Lay back on thatched loungers hidden amidst a forest of palms, dip your toes in the bougainvillea-lined pool of your choice (there are three!) and enjoy Vietnamese delicacies as 'Mama' makes it - the mothers of five staff members use their heirloom recipes to cook up a feast. After sunrise yoga on the sand, the ocean beckons with a morning of snorkelling, the spa tempts with whispers of Bali and there are cocktails to be had at the lantern-strung Saigon Bar.

Aman has spent decades sculpting a name in simple refinery and this jungle-bound resort is no exception. Panoramas of soaring peaks and coral-rich bays make for spectacular eye candy during sunrise yoga by the lake or cooling dips in your private pool. Built to emulate traditional Vietnamese homes, there are just 31 villas dotted along the cliffside and amongst the trees. The 100-acre property happens to live within the Nui Chua National Park so you can enjoy as much adventure or idle leisure as you like. Eye out sun bears along winding trails, trace the reefs at some of Vietnam's most prolific diving spots or immerse yourself in the spa.

Off the lapis waters of the East Vietnam Sea lies a crescent of sugary sand and greener-than-green jungle. Cloistered by a backdrop of sky-brushing mountains is the Six Senses resort, where your villa feels like the only one on a deserted island and butlers are poised to organise picnics on private beaches or boutique dinners in the Wine Cave. While away your time snorkelling through cool waters or losing track of time on a trek through the jungle, which just happens to be home to the rare black-shanked douc langur. That is, if you can pull yourself from the private pool that comes with every villa!

Leave the shores of the Nha Trang mainland, zoom across Binh Van Bay, and dock at An Lam's private island paradise where a few days of sun-drenched bliss await... From the cloistered jungle havens to the poetic ocean views, the resort is a retreat through and through. Soak up the good vibes and the sunshine via a lounger on the beach, enjoy toe tingling four-hand massages at the spa, and for a dinner to remember? Head to the secluded Love Pond at sunset. For a more active day on the island, snorkel in the crystalline waters and hike through the jungle.

The only beachfront resort on the entire island of Nha Trang, Evason has the monopoly on crystalline ocean views and the best diving spots amidst the darting marine life. Set up like a traditional Vietnamese village along the shore, the resort has two large pools, an over-the-water spa, and easy, exclusive access to the beach from every villa. There are adventurous excursions aplenty, from hikes into the jungle to white water rafting, but if you fancy reclining all day, pull up a lounger and tell them to keep the homemade ice cream coming. Did we mention that the island gets 250 days of sunshine a year?!

Straddling the cliffs between Nha Trang and Cam Ranh Airport, this eco-conscious boutique resort champions a refreshing philosophy: nature first, architecture second. Built on what was once a scarred mountainside, the property has been reclaimed by greenery, with grass-roofed villas dotting manicured gardens that sweep down to a private stretch of sand. Spend your days floating in the infinity pool with mountain views, indulging in spa treatments infused with Vietnamese coffee and coconut, or simply lounging on your villa's terrace with a hammock and endless ocean panoramas. Free Sunday yoga sessions, cooking classes at the local market, and buggy rides around the grounds ensure there's always something to do – or absolutely nothing at all.

Nestled within lush foliage, The Anam gently cascades towards the azure waters of the East Sea along Mui Ne’s famed honey-hued coastline. Discover the latest luxury resort addition to The Anam collection that promises all the splendour, romance and nostalgia of old-world Indochine charm infused with the graciousness inherent in Vietnamese hospitality.
