The Anam, a luxurious 12-hectare resort overlooking Long Beach on Vietnam’s Cam Ranh peninsula, has unveiled two exquisite villas just for honeymooners, each replete with a private pool, jacuzzi, steam and sauna room and daily afternoon tea.
With a design inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine era, the 180-square-metre ‘Honeymoon Villas’ are both set on 400 square metres of lush hillside land located adjacent to the grounds of the resort’s tranquil 10-treatment room spa.
The picture-perfect one-bedroom villas each feature a separate living room, jacuzzi, steam and sauna room and private terrace with sun loungers overlooking a glassy-surfaced 40-square-metre private pool. The villas’ romantic appeal draws on the Indochine period with the likes of imperial style roofs, big-bellied water vases, lanterns, and customized mosaic tiles.
“Upon ascending the stone pathway past enormous fig trees through the entrance gate of the private Honeymoon Villas, you immediately feel like a world away, surrounded by greenery,” said The Anam Group’s group general manager Laurent Myter. “With your own pool, your own jacuzzi and steam and sauna (with a separate wash area), your sunken bath and separate shower, the Honeymoon Villas make for a sweet way to celebrate your honeymoon.”
The Honeymoon Villas come with complimentary daily afternoon tea, served either in the privacy of the villa, at The Colonial fine dining restaurant that features a quaint courtyard or a scenic spot such as amid the resort’s verdant gardens or on Long Beach.
Four different themed afternoon tea experiences are on offer – ‘Vietnamese’, ‘Asian’, ‘Classic’ and ‘Degustation. Savoury items include five spice marinated beef on a lemongrass skewer, crab cake with mango salsa, smoked salmon with brioche and mustard sauce, and crisp tortillas with citrus tuna tartare respectively, as well as sweets such as Hanoi green sticky rice cake, mochi, freshly baked scones, and raspberry cheesecake. The affair is anchored by a selection of Dammann and Vietnamese tea, coffee including Espresso, cappuccino, Americano, latte, and Vietnamese iced coffee, and even hot chocolate.
The Anam Cam Ranh also offers private BBQs on the villa’s private pool terrace to themes ranging from seafood to premium meat to vegetarian or a mixture.
In addition to in-room amenities such as a king-size Sealy mattress, plush 300-thread-count cotton Irish bed linen and a pillow menu, the villas afford club lounge access from 7am to 5pm at The Colonial. Rates for the villas include airport transfers, breakfast, the mini-bar with an espresso coffee machine and laundry.
The villas also afford easy access to The Anam Spa and its facilities including its sensory garden, beauty salon, reflexology path, and yoga studio. The sensory garden features water fountains in reflecting ponds, Instagram-worthy seating areas including swing chairs and a herb garden brimming with the likes of rosemary, mint, lemongrass and aloe vera. The 16-metre-long reflexology path, designed to lower blood pressure, stimulate reflex points, relieve stress and boost energy, winds its way through the lush garden totalling 179sqm. The yoga studio opens at the crack of dawn and offers private yoga with resident yogi Umesh.
The Anam Cam Ranh and sister property The Anam Mui Ne, which debuted in January 2023 on Mui Ne’s beachfront, are also popular wedding destinations, with wedding planners at each resort orchestrating bespoke weddings that make the most of both resorts’ romantic designs, stunning beachfront locations and exquisite dining offerings.
