Mövenpick debuts a new resort in Cam Ranh, Vietnam
The latest addition to Mövenpick’s collection of contemporary hotels and resorts has arrived with the launch of Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh, located along Bai Dai Beach in the central Vietnamese province of Khanh Hoa. Perfectly positioned to explore Cam Ranh’s pristine beaches and world-class facilities, Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh features 500 well-appointed rooms, individual pool villas and apartments that overlook a 17 kilometre-long white sand coast. The city of Cam Ranh is located in the Khánh Hòa Province of Vietnam’s South Central Coast, 53 kilometres from Nha Trang, which is known for its beaches and scuba diving. Boasting a deep-water harbour and breath-taking views, Cam Ranh Bay is poised to become a popular tourist spot due to the natural beauty and ease of access via Cam Ranh International Airport.
“Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts are a collection of memorable moments. We know small gestures can make all the difference, and with the opening of the new Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh, we will continue to do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. With 31 hotels, Accor remains the largest international hotel operator in the country, and we are delighted to introduce this up-and-coming destination to travellers from around the world,” said Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer of Accor, Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and the Maldives.
Inspired by modern European style, the resort features 250 contemporary rooms designed by the award-winning international hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates. All rooms offer direct sea views over the white sandy beach from expansive private balconies. Guests seeking more privacy and space will appreciate the 118 one to three-bedroom pool villas, which feature a collection of exquisite Champa antiques and exotic art pieces. Perfect for long-term stays, the 132 sea view studio apartments offer a fully furnished kitchenette and a large living and dining area.
Exciting culinary experiences are located in the resort’s three restaurants and two bars, including Panorama, the Marché style all-day dining and Tropicana Beach Club that overlooks the spectacular ocean view along with the finest cocktail selection, live music, DJ and entertainment. Drawing inspiration from the Alpine refuge and a nod to the Mövenpick brand’s Swiss roots is Chubeli Beer House, which offers Swiss classics alongside a selection of European dishes. For coffee connoisseurs and chocolate lovers, the Lobby Lounge offers Mövenpick’s signature Chocolate Hour each day with a selection of signature coffee blends and pastries.
Wellness is an integral part of the resort experience; the 1,100 square-metre Serenity Spa features 23 treatment rooms and a dedicated foot reflexology centre with an attached wellness bistro serving spa cuisine crafted with organic and local ingredients.
For a destination within a destination, the Swiss Village at Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh is home to a beer house, large in- and outdoor fitness centre with tennis and multi-purpose sports field, games room, a minimart and retail shops.
While the adults are out to play, the little ones are invited to Little Birds Club where children can create wonderful memories of their own. There are two separate kids’ areas, one for teenagers featuring a climbing wall and videogames and another area designed for the younger guests with an “edutainment” focus so that children can pick up new skills while enjoying themselves.
For families seeking fun outside, Cam Ranh Adventure Rope Park features a 45 obstacle course rope climbing challenge – up to 10.6 metres in the air. There is also a kids’ pool complete with waterslide to cool off after a day of activities.
For events, weddings and conferences, the resort boasts six multi-function rooms with outdoor spaces. The grand ballroom provides a capacity of up to 800 persons, and leads out onto a 850 square metre outdoor lawn area perfect for outdoor weddings, evening cocktails or team building events.
The area surrounding Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh is home to various golf courses, including a new 27-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman, located a short 10-minute drive away. Also within close reach is Nui Chua National Park, The Vinh Hy – Binh Tien Pass, and a number of famous historic sites. Binh Ba Island is a 40-minute boat ride from the port of Da Bac (Ba Ngoi) – a popular destination for snorkelling and diving. In line with Mövenpick’s philosophy of offering authentic experiences, the resort can also arrange for guests to visit a traditional fishing village located on the banks of a peaceful river.
“At Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh, family moments are integrated into the vacation experience. With extensive family facilities including an adventure rope park, water slides, multi-level swimming pool and children’s pool, two separate kid club areas, recreation facilities including a tennis court and multi purposed sports field, and beautiful private beach, Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh is the perfect choice for families,” said Brice Borin, General Manager of Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh.
