Why Quy Nhon is the Next Big Vietnam Destination

Quy Nhon hasn’t really been on the luxury travel radar, but things are changing in this Central Vietnam destination. An upgrade is on the way with a new luxury hotel, bringing high-end travelers to this region of Vietnam. Far from the busy city area, Quy Nhon has much to offer the beach lover. This year, Quy Nhon made it into the Remote Lands’ Dozen Dream Destinations 2019, and it’s time to learn a little bit about why.

Found on the coast of Binh Dinh province, the Anantara Quy Nhon is set to open its doors November 15, 2018, bringing a muchneeded slice of luxury to this section of Central Vietnam. Set amidst seven acres of secluded tropical landscape, Anantara Quy Nhon is on a hill overlooking a secluded bay. Designed by Hong Kong’s HB Design and Marques & Jordy (M&J) out of London, this new Anantara features architecture for the nature lover with an emphasis on fluidity.

The 26 villas feature ceiling-to-floor panoramic views of the ocean, beach, or pool, with each private one and two-bedroom Vietnamese-inspired villas trimmed with local timber and granite.

The bathrooms have double vessel sinks, deep soaking tubs with views, and an open-air rain shower. Sunrises from a private deck, a refreshing dip in a personal plunge pool, and an exclusive butler to top off the champagne, are all to be expected as part of this Anantara experience.

Unwinding at the spa, dining on the beach beneath the stars, or kayaking the waves, are all on the menu at this upcoming Anantara destination. A 24-hour gym and a Jack Nicklausdesigned 36-hole golf course overlook views of the island. The resort also features complimentary bicycles for excursions into nearby villages surrounded by rice fields.

Among the dining options at this new Anantara destination, guests can catch their own food to be prepared by a Dining by Design chef, complete with a Habanos cigar and a local craft beer poolside in the open-air lounge.

With luxury hotels underway and on the horizon, deep historical and cultural connections, and quaint, picturesque beaches still underdeveloped, beach lovers would be welladvised to keep an eye on this travel gem.
