NEW KEYS FOR QUY NHON

Due to open in late November, Anantara Hotels and Resorts’ third property in Vietnam will overlook a secluded cove on the country’s south-central coast, an area known for its scenic and cultural richness. Anantara Quy Nhon Villas will comprise just 26 butler-serviced villas that incorporate local materials and traditional craftsmanship into their contemporary design, with timber-and-granite sundecks and ocean-facing lap pools among the amenities. A 30-minute drive south of Quy Nhon, the capital of Binh Dinh province, the resort is within easy reach of cultural attractions such as centuries-old Buddhist pagodas and evocative Champaera ruins. But there is plenty to explore on-site as well; apart from the one- and two-bedroom villas, the lush seven-hectare property is also home to a swim-up bar serving premium cocktails, Vietnamese craft beers, and Cuban cigars; a jungle-shrouded spa with cli -top relaxation pavilions; and ea ire alt, a beachside restaurant celebrating local seafood and regional avors.
