Anantara Hotels and Resorts has added a third property to its portfolio of luxury resorts in Vietnam.

The Anantara Quy Nhon Villas, scheduled to open in late November 2018, is located in a secluded bay in south central Vietnam. The resort will comprise 26 one and two-bedroom ocean-facing villas ensconced amidst 7.2 hectares of landscaped tropical gardens.

The resort is a 50-minute drive from Quy Nhon Airport, or Phu Cat Airport as it is known locally, and only a 20-minute drive from downtown Quy Nhon. Daily flights into Phu Cat Airport are operated from Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) and Hanoi.

A creative collaboration between HB Design and Marques and Jordy (M&J) architectural firms, Anantara Quy Nhon is designed to seamlessly blend into the natural environment.

Spacious villas with their sleek timber and granite sundecks, minimalist plunge pools and extended low overhang roofs have a fresh, contemporary feel.

Each villa at the new resort will come with dedicated butler services and a range of customisable luxury amenities such as preferred room scent ranging from exotic lemongrass to refreshing green tea, Anantara signature soap collection and in-villa wine cellar stocked with fine vintages and delicatessen.

The dining outlets at Anantara Quy Nhon will celebrate the abundant local seafood and regional flavours. At Sea Fire Salt, the all-day dining restaurant, the Salt and Wine Gurus elevate the dining experience with expert advice and guided tastings. At the swim-up bar premium cocktails, Vietnamese craft beers and Cuban cigars are served in an ocean-facing setting. In-villa dining aims to recreate a restaurant experience in the privacy of one's villa with gourmet breakfast in bed, fully catered poolside barbecues and a luxury Vietnamese street food concept. Anantara's signature Dining by Design delights with "Castaway" island picnics and exhilarating fishing trawler expeditions followed by five-star dining.

Perched high on the hillside overlooking a serene bay, Anantara Spa is a jungle-shrouded wellbeing paradise. Nature-inspired treatment suites boast double massage beds and oversized bathtubs for nourishing coconut milk soaks, while breezy cliffside pavilions bring the art of relaxation to new heights.

Rich in cultural attractions, Binh Dinh province, of which Quy Nhon is the capital city, is an attractive option for families, couples and groups of friends in search of meaningful and shared experiences with easy access to local cultural attractions, such as the relics of Champa civilisation and centuries-old Buddhist pagodas.
