Whether you’re seeking adventure, romance or relaxation, you will find it at Alma Resort Cam Ranh. Here are six reasons it should be your next couple’s escape.
There’s plenty to do together, and apart
For adventurous travellers, there is no shortage of activities on offer at Alma. Active couples can start each day with an invigorating yoga class or a gentle workout at the open-air exercise stations or indoor fitness centre. Stroll down to the beach for a game of volleyball or a kayaking adventure on the sparkling sea before enjoying a game of mini golf at the resort’s 18-hole course.
Craving some me-time? Alma caters to your every whim – practice your swing at the state-of-the-art golf pro simulator, unwind after a long day, and cap off the night at The American Bar to enjoy a perfectly crafted cocktail. Recharge on your terms with a visit to Le Spa’s relaxation suite or visit the steam and sauna rooms for a soothing session leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Days at Alma end any way you like: savour a romantic seaside dinner as the sun dips below the horizon, or opt for a laid-back meal at the Italian trattoria, La Casa, ending the night with an impromptu performance in the resort’s karaoke room.
The spa offers a couple’s treatment in a private wellness villa
Embark on a healing journey with a luxurious spa experience for two at Le Spa. Soothing treatments have been curated by a team of wellness professionals to promote tranquility, relaxation and reconnection between couples.
Your experience begins in the serene relaxation suite – unwind as you listen to the sound of the ocean waves and sip on a calming herbal brew. As you start to relax, stroll through the lush gardens to reach your private wellness villa where you’ll indulge in a restorative full-body massage side by side. Feel the tension melt away as skilled therapists draw on ancient techniques and relaxing essential oils for a complete sensory experience. Sip a refreshing tea together as you return to reality and enjoy the feeling of total bliss.
Every room offers romantic ocean views
Be inspired by mesmerising ocean views from every room at Alma. Whether you’re situated on the breezy balcony of your Superior Suite or the airy terrace of your Ocean Front Pool Pavilion, you are guaranteed dreamy ocean views, from sunrise to sunset. From the comfort of your sun-kissed sanctuary, start the day with a signature Vietnamese coffee as you soak in spectacular ocean views, or toast to another day in paradise as you watch the sunset set the sky alight in a blaze of reds and oranges.
Create a memorable holiday moment with a romantic dinner on your private patio in front of this spectacular show – there’s no better place to celebrate a special anniversary or pop the question.
You can take your pick between a private beach and 12 pools
Those with a penchant for paddling are spoilt for choice at this oceanfront oasis, with 12 gorgeous pools and a private beach at their disposal. Inspired by the elegance of northern Vietnam’s terraced rice paddies, the resort’s cascading pools descend gradually towards the palm-fringed private beach. No matter if you’re looking to swim a few laps, enjoy a refreshing dip or laze the day away, Alma caters to every mood.
Couples will particularly love the adults-only pool, with its selection of luxurious cabanas allowing for secluded sunbathing. When it comes time for refreshments, swim up to the pool bar or have cocktails delivered to your private cabana.
Indulgence is endless across 14 restaurants and bars
From barefoot beachside dinners to private floating breakfasts, Alma offers indulgent dining experiences for every kind of couple. Start your day with freshly baked pastries, live cooking stations and Vietnamese favourites at Alma Garden or organise a decadent floating breakfast in the comfort of your private pavilion.
Later in the day, embark on a culinary journey through the continent at Asiana, savour authentic Italian dishes at La Casa, or sample local seafood – including Nha Trang flower crab and garlicky sea snails – at beachfront Atlantis. For those who can’t decide, a visit to the Food Court is a must, with six outlets offering everything from espresso coffee and French pastries to banh mi, traditional noodles and fried chicken. A classic sports bar, beach bar and swim-up pool bar complete the exceptional offerings.
There is so much to explore beyond Alma
Couples seeking to deepen their connection while immersing themselves in Vietnamese culture can take advantage of Alma’s partnership with local travel guides for unforgettable experiences. A highlight tour is ‘A Journey Through Culture and Cuisine,’ starting with a vibrant exploration of Cam Duc Market, where travellers will discover local ingredients and take a glimpse of daily Vietnamese life. The adventure continues with a visit to a unique local cobblestone temple, a labour of love built by a monk over more than two decades, and a visit to a lush mango garden, where fragrant mango tea is served. The day culminates in a cooking class back at Alma, where couples prepare traditional dishes, creating not just a delicious meal but fond memories of their time in Vietnam.
