Anantara Mui Ne Resort & Spa

Hotel overview

An oasis of elegance and comfort, Anantara Mui Ne Resort sits on Mui Ne’s pristinely sweeping beach and lies within easy access of untouched villages, wild rainforests and Sahara like sand dunes.

Expertly blending Vietnamese tradition and legendary Anantara service, Anantara Mui Ne Resort offers a tropical retreat in this off the radar paradise amongst the serenity of Southern Vietnam. The resort features a combination of 89 beautifully designed rooms, suites and private villas dotted around the lush gardens. The spacious deluxe ocean rooms, with mesmerizing sea views, are located within the main building and offer the best value, however we highly recommend splashing out on a private villa; you’ll get yourself a private pool, tranquil tropical garden, romantic dining pavilion and heaps more space for that heavenly beach break!

Away from your private sanctuary nestled within the gardens, be sure to check out the resorts full facilities including a sensual spa, relaxing reading room and a truly inviting freshwater lagoon pool, ideal for basking in the heat of the midday sun. The Vietnamese and western fusion cuisine on offer is sure to tantalise your taste buds as the sun goes down with a chance to enjoy some fine dining in the L’Anmien Restaurant or dinner under the stars at Thung Restaurant. Cocktails are always on offer at the Flow Bar adjacent to the pool or at the 24 hour Cham Lounge for those after a much deserved nightcap. For those looking to test out what the charming town has to offer, a selection of restaurants, bars and shops are also located within walking distance of the resort, making the Anantara Mui Ne ideal for an exception getaway in a setting to remember.

Watersports, Snorkelling & Diving

A number of the resorts across Vietnam offer water-sports from the beach (including kayaking, sailing, jet-skis, boating) or you can enjoy the underwater action around Phu Quoc on a snorkelling or diving tour arranged via one of the boat companies or through your hotel. Diving is best from November to March and fun dives will cost around USD100 per person, whereas snorkelling is around USD35 per person. For many Nha Trang is the best place to head for the quality of the diving. It has, however, become very busy with a lot of different dive shops too so it is worth considering the kind of experience you would like before choosing. Diving off the coast of Hoi An is a place for many to try out diving. It isn't busy there and so makes the ideal place to stop off for an extra couple of nights and to explore the underwater world. Con Dao is considered one of the best examples of marine conservation in the country. With over 340 species of Hard and Soft corals, teeming with a colourful array of marine life. Con Dao supports a high level of biodiversity and over 1,400 currently recorded marine species. With clear waters from February to July and visibility averaging 20-30 metres, Con Dao is an excellent place for diving and offers a unique opportunity to explore the amazing variety of underwater life. Explore the untouched and pristine corals, with a chance to see rays, turtles, giant barracuda, cobia, batfish and small bamboo sharks, as well as a whole host of tropical reef fish. Phu Quoc is often the beach stop of choice and there are a lot of dive sites around. The major dive sites on the Phu Quoc are Dry island and Nudibranch Island where you will be able to spot a variety of marine animals, including cuttlefish, octopus, scorpionfish, damselfish, nudibranchs, and moray eels. The sea is calm around here and in the dry season, you'll have clear water and great visibility.

Ideas for your free time

Sand Dunes: Mui Ne is famous for its vast red and white sand dunes, which we highly recommend discovering during your time in Phan Thiet. The White Sand Dunes, also known as Bao Trang (White Lake), range from a glittering gold to a pure white, whilst the Red Sand Dunes of Mui Ne, as you would expect, feature reddish-brown sands. The Red Dunes are smaller than the White Dunes and slightly easier to reach. We recommend visiting the dunes in the early morning or late afternoon to get the best pictures, as well as steering clear of the scorching temperatures as the sun rises above these Sahara like sands. You will likely experience a hard sell from local children wanting to hire you a sand boards, and whilst this can be fun, do agree a price beforehand as some people have had unpleasant experiences. We also recommend trying out a quad bike or dune buggy for a slightly more adventurous dune experience. Ta Cu Mountain: Ta Cu Mountain is located 25km from Phan Thiet and a beautiful 2 hour trek (or 10 minute cable car ride) will take you to the mountain pagoda at the summit. Trekkers will be able to hike through beautiful tropical rainforest full of birds and wildlife before reaching the tomb towers, a cave and the white reclining Buddha (Tuong Phat Nam). Said to be the largest Buddha in Vietnam at 49m, the site has become an important pilgrimage centre for Buddhists. Po Shanu Cham Towers: These ancient towers occupying a hill near Phan Thiet are remains of the former Cham Kingdom, dating back to the 9th Century, and offer sweeping views over the town, as well as making for a fascinating visit for those interested in ancient history. For those looking to learn more about the Cham Kingdom, we also suggest a full day tour to Ninh Thuan, 2 ½ hours’ drive from Phan Thiet. A day tour here will allow you to visit a typical Cham minority village and visit the Poklong Garai Cham Towers, the heart of the remaining ethnic Cham community. Activities in Phan Thiet: Close to the popular resort of Phan Thiet lies Mui Ne, the self-titled adrenalin capital of South Vietnam. Mui Ne has no snorkelling or scuba diving but has some of the best surf in the area and has become a popular kitesurfing destination. There are a number of operators in town where you can book a course, and for those looking for something a little more relaxing there are some excellent golf courses (Sealinks Golf & Country Club) and sumptuous spas in the area.
