Conical-thatched coastal resort
The resort draws on Vietnamese countryside architecture, placing conical thatched pavilions between quiet lotus ponds and the sea.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms and villas range from garden-view deluxe categories to lagoon pool villas with architecture referencing the Vietnamese non-la conical hat.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bai Dai Beach stretches along the peninsula outside, with Nha Trang's street-food markets a thirty-minute drive north.
The rooms
Canopy beds furnish the light-wood rooms, and the bathrooms come with natural stone sinks and indoor-outdoor showers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved lagoon pool edges the beachfront, with a shallow wading section and a sunken swim-up bar.
The spa
Sound healing sessions use singing bowls against acoustic bamboo walls, and treatments incorporate local Nha Trang mineral mud.
The gym
The fitness pavilion sits on a lagoon island, with cardio machines and weights set under bamboo trusses.
Restaurant
Ana Sand House
Soaring timber rafters shelter stone buffet counters looking onto the gardens. Saturday evenings bring a seafood barbecue.
At the table
Ana Beach House serves open-fire grill dishes beachfront, and dining tables line the poolside terrace at sunset.
How it began
The original Ana Mandara spent nearly thirty years in Nha Trang before relocating to the Cam Ranh coast in 2022.
