With two sprawling properties along Vietnam\u2019s stunning southern coastline, the hotel group certainly seems to lean into the ethos of local charm with a luxury twist at every opportunity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1qeofuq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A view of the beach from The Anam Cam Ranh.

Upon stepping onto the resort\u2019s palm tree-lined grounds, I find it delivers on many of those promises while merging the region\u2019s natural beauty with colonial heritage. A long freshwater pool at the front of the resort stretches back as far as the eye can see before meeting the shoreline beach at the horizon. The building\u2019s towering verandas are reminiscent of Vietnam\u2019s finest Indochine-style architecture.<\/div>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1qeofuq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Anam Mui Ne.

Oil paintings by Vietnamese artists adorn all the walls, from the lobby up to the 127 rooms and suites, while charming little statues and other ceramics \u2013 proudly made by the Cham community indigenous to the nearby region of Phan Rang \u2013 give the resort not only a sense of place, but also purpose. I\u2019m told all the paintings are available for sale, imbuing The Anam Mui Ne with a pleasantly unexpected gallery vibe and the feel of a museum.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1qeofuq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The lobby of Anam Mui Ne.

I spend a good chunk of my stay trying out as many as I can, from The Anam\u2019s signature massage to a <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">singing bowl<\/span> therapy session \u2013 which leaves me in a truly meditative state, not a single thought going through my head as it rings with recurring vibrations. As for the purported benefits to one\u2019s immune system and circulation, I can only hope I walk away with those, too.<\/div>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-12vv9w2 e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Anam Mui Ne offers singing bowl therapy as one of its treatments.

Though I\u2019m told the Cam Ranh peninsula averages over 300 sunny days per year, I don\u2019t happen to land on one of them. Upon seeing all the lush greenery and the generous spread of private and public pools across the resort, though, the rain on my arrival day doesn\u2019t even register.<\/div>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1qeofuq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The garden view villa at The Anam Cam Ranh.
