Written by Sabina Sobczak
Fun-filled facilities, seaside indulgence and a wide range of dining options – here’s why Alma Resort Cam Ranh is perfect for your next family holiday.
Home to a dozen sprawling pools, 14 dining venues, a mammoth waterpark and a cutting-edge golf simulator, Alma Resort Cam Ranh caters to families of all shapes and sizes. Read on to find out exactly why this 30-hectare oasis in Vietnam’s new “it” destination makes for a dream family holiday.
You can stretch out in modern, spacious apartments
With guaranteed sweeping sea views, contemporary home comforts and heaps of space to lounge, the resort’s oversized suites and pavilions (all with private balconies or terraces) are a family haven. Choose from chic one-, two- or three-bedroom abodes and splash out on a private pool or jacuzzi. Kitchen facilities, dining areas and an ensuite for every bedroom adds extra comfort and luxury to your retreat, while an abundance of space makes it easy to spend time together or apart.
It has world-class facilities directly on-site
From a pristine stretch of private beach (part of exceptionally beautiful Long Beach) and 12 gleaming pools to a 75-seat cinema and 18-hole mini golf course, this activity-packed retreat leaves nothing to be desired. The onsite Splash Water Park is guaranteed to delight, offering a lazy river, water slides, wave pool and more for all-day thrills. With so many activities to choose from, it’s no wonder Alma Resort has been called out as the top resort in Southeast Asia, the No. 2 resort in Asia and No. 9 resort worldwide in this year’s Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards.
There’s something to do for all ages
The Alma Kids’ Club is a fun-filled hotspot for kids under 10, fitted out with trampolines, ball pens and climbing frames to keep the good times rolling all day long. There’s even a library and nap zone onsite for some much-needed downtime. For older kids, the Youth Club makes for the perfect hangout spot, offering video and virtual reality games, pool and table football and the chance to meet new friends. If that wasn’t enough, the whole family can enjoy the resort’s 75-seat cinema, science museum and karaoke rooms.
Choose from a wide variety of restaurants and bars
No matter your preferences or if you’re dining with fussy eaters, Alma Resort’s range of 14 restaurants and bars offers a tasty option to please every palette. Kids will love the varied buffet spread at Alma Garden or La Casa’s doughy pizza straight from the oven. Head to Asiana for your fill of mouthwatering spring rolls, gyoza and tempura in an elegant yet cosy setting, then drop by the beachfront pool for a sundowner cocktail straight from the swim-up bar or a Mediterranean bite with sand between your toes at Beach Bar. Smart, casual, alfresco or poolside – this family-friendly resort has it all.
Stay active with onsite tennis, volleyball, yoga and more
When you’ve had enough of wining, dining and lounging poolside, there’s no shortage of ways to stay active. From tennis and basketball courts to a spot of beach volleyball, you can make the most of the Vietnamese sun while staying fit and making memories with loved ones. For moments of zen, stretch out your muscles with a yoga session, or exercise the mind with giant outdoor chess. Practice your swing at the Bravo Pro golf simulator, keep up with your fitness routine in the hi-tech fitness centre, and finish off with a detox in the sauna and steam rooms.
Parents can unwind with or without the kids
While offering a host of kid-friendly facilities and entertainment, this sprawling oasis also presents plenty of opportunities for parents to have some ‘me time’. Among the 12 pools sprinkled throughout the resort are relaxing jacuzzis and adults-only spaces with cabanas. The kids’ and teens’ clubs, as well as babysitting services, make it easy to sneak off for a refreshing tipple or romantic meal directly on the beach. Better yet, head to Le Spa for a solo or couple’s treatment in one of 13 treatment rooms, perfect for total disconnection and rejuvenation.
The whole family can take part in eco-friendly fun
Kids can dig into hands-on learning in the resort’s herb gardens, cultivating their green thumbs and discovering the importance of fresh ingredients. The nursery displays a variety of plants, sparking curiosity and creativity in young minds, while a visit to the chicken farm is a fun way to explore the value of sustainable farming. To top it all off, take part in tree-planting activities with your little ones and make long-lasting memories together.
Everything you need is within reach
An onsite mini supermarket means families have everything they need right at their fingertips, from snacks and drinks to daily essentials. Should you wish to step out of your tropical haven, your convenient location in Asia’s up-and-coming destination of Cam Ranh places you within easy reach of nature reserves, local golf courses and popular spots like Nha Trang.
