THE ANAM, VIETNAM

GO FOR BEACHSIDE BEAUTY

It was the ‘No shoes. No news. No stress’ motto that first caught our eye at The Anam. You’ll find the resort in Vietnam’s up-andcoming Cam Ranh area, close to Nha Trang, amid palms that dance on warm sea breezes and lush tropical gardens kissed by 300m of pristine private beach. It’s the perfect place to drop and flop after exploring the region’s myriad charms. A visit is like stepping back in time as French colonial touches, such as airy, columned pavilions and verandas, ease you in to a restful stay. Nothing ’s brash or overdone and it’s just a short walk from your plush villa to the beach, tennis courts or one of the three swimming pools on the 12ha property, making it ideal for R&R.

The South China Sea tickles the luxurious beachside villas, where the design fuses old-world charm and modern-day comfort to perfection. Expect decorative tiling and a tasteful scattering of colour in the textiles. Sunken bathtubs and private pools seal the deal, while garden suites are ensconced in greenery of every shade. Guests can look forward to an Asian take on

cicchetti at Indochine Café, while the spa focuses on Balinese massages for the ultimate chill out. theanam.com
