At Nhatrang, 50 minutes’ flight from Ho Chi Minh City, the graceful 68-room Ana Mandara (‘Beautiful Home for Guests’) Resort is located directly on a white-sand beach amid 20,000 square metres of tropical gardens overlooking the blue, island-dotted waters of beautiful Nha Trang Bay. The hotel recreates the traditional style of a Vietnamese village - simple, serene and refined - but in corporates all the modern luxuries expected by an international clientele, with accommodation in classically elegant en-suite Garden, Seaview or Deluxe Villas. The resort has a swimming pool, fitness centre and massage, and there is a nearby watersports centre (with snorkelling, diving, jetskiing, windsurfing and parasailing), library and boutique - and offers a delightful resort setting with a difference.
