FIRST LOOK: The Anam Mui Ne, scheduled to open in January 2023

Famed for its beach, sand dunes, fishing village, Cham towers and “Fairy Stream” – a shallow stream that flows through vivid orange and white limestone formations – Mui Ne is a small coastal village in Phan Thiet city, a famous tourist center of Binh Thuan province.  The name Mui Ne comes from the fishermen. “Mũi” is the headland leading to the great sea and “Né” means a place to avoid thunderstorms in Vietnamese.

The Anam Mui Ne, a resort with 127 rooms and suites is scheduled to open in January 2023.  Like Anam Cam Ranh,  the new resort’s design is an echo of Vietnam’s bygone Indochine period, with architecture guided by Hanoi’s grand old French villas.

The likes of glowing lanterns, customized encaustic mosaic tiles, big-bellied clay water vases, statues on plinths, imperial-style roofs, cornice detailing, and intricate woodwork have evoked a romantic atmosphere crafted by artisans from across Vietnam.  The resort’s 127 classic rooms and suites range in size from 40 sqm to 142 sqm across six accommodation categories. Seven 142 sqm suites come with private pools.

Dining experiences include a lobby bar (Saigon Bar), a beachside restaurant and bar (Lang Viet), and an all-day dining restaurant and grill (The Indochine).  Other amenities include two swimming pools, a spa, a ballroom, conference rooms, a water sports center, a fitness center, a yoga room, a kid’s club, and a gift shop.
