Ravenala Boutique Resort

"Anantara Mui Ne Drive four hours east from Saigon and you’ll arrive at the port city of Phan Thiet, around which lie sand dunes, scenic lakes, quaint fishing villages, golf courses, and—along pristine Mui Ne Beach—this five-star Anantara resort. It’s easy to access those area attractions and more from the hotel, or just hide out among its lush oceanfront grounds, which include a central palm tree–ringed pool, a quiet library lounge, and a kids’ club offering activities like fruit harvesting and kite flying. Choose from traditional hotel-style rooms in the main building—each with amenities like rainfall showers and satellite TV—or upgrade to a one- or two-bedroom pool villa, some with second floors or direct beach access. In addition to restaurants serving Vietnamese, pan-Asian, and Continental dishes, there’s theWine Room, whichhosts tastings and pairing experiences. Guests who’ve visited other Anantara locations will feel at home in the five-room spa, where signature brand services are tweaked with local ingredients like lemongrass and turmeric."
