The Westin Resort & Spa Cam Ranh opened this week, marking Westin Hotels & Resorts entry into Vietnam.

Located on Cam Ranh Long Beach, the 207-key resort is a convenient 10-minute drive from Cam Ranh International Airport and a 45-minute drive from the center of Nha Trang.

Designed by Andy Fisher Workshop, the resort is seamlessly integrated with its coastal setting of sand dunes, with a focus on natural materials such as stone and green roofs that create a connection with the landscape. An original, locally made brick screen pays homage to the historic brick making industry, while some other interior elements are inspired by the area’s local lobster farms and fishing villages. A selection of private pool villas provides a tropical ‘home-away-from-home’ experience just a few steps from the beach.

All of the property’s guestrooms, suites and one-, two-, or three-bedroom standalone pool villas feature contemporary interiors, state-of-the-art technology, working spaces, and a soft, calming color palette as well as the brand’s newly-launched next generation Heavenly® Bed.

Food and beverage options at The Westin Resort & Spa Cam Ranh include:

• The Verandah, the bright and inviting all-day dining restaurant featuring a curated Eat Well menu and an open-kitchen;
• Hang Ten Beach Bar & Grill, which focuses on modern Vietnamese cuisine with fresh local seafood;
• Haven Lounge, a sophisticated venue offering coffee and “grab and go” bites;
• and Plunge Bar, a space where guests can enjoy poolside refreshments.

In keeping with the brand’s focus on wellness, the resort offers a 24/7 WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio, a yoga studio, and tennis, basketball and volleyball courts as well as Heavenly Spa by Westin™.

And planners will benefit from its 7,800+ square-feet of meeting and event space, which includes a Grand Ballroom (6,910 square feet), two flexible meeting rooms, and an intimate boardroom, as well as outdoor spaces.

“The Westin Resort & Spa Cam Ranh is a haven of wellness and activity where guests will have endless opportunities to recharge, revive and reconnect,” said Jakob Helgen, area vice-president – Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia & Myanmar, Marriott International. “With its signature programming, the new hotel will bring to life the Westin brand promise that delivers a holistic wellness experience for travelers and locals alike. As the inaugural Westin branded resort in Vietnam, this also represents our continued commitment to meeting the needs of all travelers in this captivating country.”
