Perched on 1.2 hectares of white sand beaches on the Southern coastal town of Mui Ne, lauded as Vietnam’s kite-surfing mecca, The Anam Mui Ne which opened in January 2023 sits at the heart of a vibrant natural landscape that appeal to multi-generations with diverse beauty and experiences. Getting to the resort will also be a breeze - an expressway due to open in June 2023 will cut the drive from Ho Chi Minh City to just two hours, in addition to an international airport set to open in Mui Ne come 2025.
With architecture inspired by the grand French villas in Hanoi and the garden homes of Central Vietnam, the resort pays homage to both colonial-era and classic Vietnamese aesthetics such as customized encaustic mosaic tiles, Cham decorative vases and statues on plinths, teak furniture crafted from sustainable forests, stone from Thanh Hoa and Nghe An, and authentic thatched roofs from Binh Thuan.
The resort’s 127 rooms and suites across six accommodation categories form a loose rectangular U-shaped configuration that opens up to views of the ocean, lush gardens, the resort’s two saltwater and freshwater swimming pools as well as Mui Ne town. The design pays homage to the craftsmanship of old, fusing Vietnamese and Indochine artisanal elements with indigenous materials, customised antique-style tiling and natural colour palettes. Claw-foot bathtubs and custom-built furniture such as leather-bound tables add to the resort’s old-world feel. Treats such as complimentary in-room High Tea make it even more delightful for holiday goers seeking to spend the day relaxing at the resort.
Both of its restaurants reflect the diversity of Vietnam’s heritage and cuisine.

The artists include painters Bui Van Quang, who is renowned for his paintings portraying daily Vietnamese life, as well as Vu Trong Anh, who has won acclaim for his modern, abstract interpretations of Vietnamese scenery.
