Five Vietnamese resorts named among Asia’s best
A handful of Vietnamese resorts have clinched spots at the Conde Nast Traveler 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards, with The Anam coming in as the highest-ranking Vietnamese resort on the “Top 30 Resorts in Asia” list, closely followed by Banyan Tree Lang Co.
The 12-hectare Anam, an Indochine-era inspired resort with 77 villas and 136 rooms, with suites overlooking Long Beach on the Cam Ranh Peninsula, landed fourth spot with a near-perfect 99.41 out of 100 from the prestigious magazine’s worldwide readership. Banyan Tree Lang Co, a multi-award-winning all-pool villa resort, was the second-highest placed Vietnamese resort on the list, coming in at 9 and scoring 99.28. JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa and Salinda Resort Phu Quoc Island also made the cut, securing 24th and 29th positions respectively.

Angsana Lang Co, which features 229 stylish suites, more than 100 of which come with their own private pools overlooking the East Sea, rounded off the list in 30th place with a score of 97.9.“For The Anam to be acclaimed as Viet Nam’s top resort and among Asia’s best in arguably the world’s most prestigious travel awards is incredible,” said The Anam’s founder and owner Pham Van Hien. “We’re thrilled Conde Nast Traveler’s readers have recognised Việt Nam’s luxury resort landscape on the world stage.”
“That travellers, particularly those who read one of the world’s preeminent travel magazines, have recognised Banyan Tree Lang Co and Angsana Lang Co among the best in Asia is incredibly exciting and is testament to our efforts to put the overall experience first,” said Adam Calver, Director of Golf and Destination Marketing at Laguna Lang Co.

Banyan Tree Lang Co and Angsana Lang Co, meanwhile, are key components at Laguna Lang Co, one of Viet Nam’s most expansive integrated properties. In addition to the resorts, Laguna Lang Co also encompasses Laguna Golf Lang Co, a signature design by UK legend Sir Nick Faldo that is rated as one of Viet Nam’s finest courses.
