Our favourite rooms
Each room has a freestanding bath and a private balcony or terrace, so no short straws here. Snag one with an ocean view, or swing for the Private Pool Suite, where slipping away for a behind-closed-doors dip à deux is always an option.
Poolside
The long central pool stretches through a cluster of palms towards the beach: snag a sea-view sunlounger and a spritz, and you’re set for the afternoon. Set within a manicured lawn — in a serene spot that’s just back from the shore — there’s also a saltwater pool, where you can get your laps in.
Spa
The Anam Spa puts Vietnam’s natural bounty to blissful use, balancing both Eastern and Western healing practices. Therapists work across Swedish, Thai and Shiatsu methods; or, follow the lead of ancient Vietnamese healers, and opt for acupressure paired with steamed indigenous herbs. Body treatments make tantalising use of local plants; after a dragonfruit wrap or green tea and sea salt scrub, you’ll be dewy-skinned and smelling good enough to eat. There are facials designed for all skin types, too, each using Sothys products. Maximise your me-time with a mani-pedi in the salon. And by that point, you may as well stay for a leisurely circuit of the steam rooms, saunas and indoor Jacuzzis. There’s also a yoga studio, and a fitness centre with Precor equipment. The spa is open daily from 10am to 10pm.
Packing tips
250 oil paintings by Vietnamese artists were commissioned for the hotel. You’ll find pieces from the collection in every room, so bring a sketchpad in case inspiration strikes.
Also
The Cham people’s method of pottery-making, passed down through families for centuries, has been recognised by Unesco as in need of urgent protection. The Anam is doing its part, featuring pieces by Cham women throughout the hotel.
Children
All ages are welcome and babysitting is available on request.
Best for
Babies and up are welcome, but older kids will get the most out of the outdoors adventures and cultural tours.
Recommended rooms
There are twin configurations for all room types except the Presidential and Pool Suites, and some rooms can take an extra bed.
Crèche
Little Smiths aged four to 12 can join in with crafts, games and outdoor play at the kids’ club. Under-fours must be accompanied by an adult.
Activities
Kids have the private beach as their playground. Children over 12 are welcome throughout the spa; under-12s can have treatments, but must be accompanied by an adult.
Swimming pool
Children are allowed at both pools, but must be supervised by an accompanying adult.
Meals
There’s a separate children’s menu at The Indochine, with Asian staples including congee and fried rice as well as Western favourites such as pizza, pasta and toasties, and highchairs are available.
Sustainability efforts
The Anam uses solar power, and water from the laundry is recycled for use in the gardens. The hotel is free from single-use plastics, opting instead for rice-flour straws, FSC-certified wooden key cards and biodegradable bamboo bags.
