Understanding that the journey to any traveler’s heart often requires a detour through the stomach, Fusion opened Maia Resort Quy Nhon as a gastronomically-driven, 94-villa resort in a relatively untrodden destination along Vietnam’s southern coast.
Fusion’s newest property had a soft launch in late 2020. Due to the pandemic, the resort only recently celebrated its grand opening in December 2021, as it cut the ribbon on the final villas.
The latest ‘Maia’ brand expands on Fusion’s original wellness focus by bringing in another important factor in a trip away – food. Maia guests have the choice of dinner or lunch, in addition to the complimentary breakfast; or an indulgent spa therapy, as part of the nightly rate.
“Gastronomy is often one of the most integral parts of a holiday as it has the capability to transform the unknown into a comforting and familial experience”, said Marc Bittner, General Manager of Maia Resort Quy Nhon. “At Maia, we aim to take guests beyond the familiar and introduce them to a selection of regional specialties while featuring the hallmarks of Vietnamese gastronomy”.
The property features an expansive pool and fitness center stocked with the latest international standard equipment.
The 94 villas range in size from one and three bedroom villas, most with private plunge pools and gardens. Accommodation options range from 61-square-meters for a semi-detached villa to a palatial 264-square-meters for the Three Bedroom Beachfront Pool Villa. The interiors all follow an earthy color palette, with pops of various ocean hues throughout. The link to the earth continues throughout the property with the use of reclaimed elements such as preserved driftwood, copper, and rattan making up the core materials used for the overall design.
The property is located on the shores of Phuong Mai Bay in Quy Nhon, an area that has managed to retain its local charm and has been under the radar of most travelers to Vietnam, despite being just an hour’s flight from the country’s commercial hub, Ho Chi Minh City.
