Mia Resort Nha Trang

Mia Resort Nha Trang sits on a coastal mountainside above a quiet sandy bay, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and the sparkling waters of the East Sea. Cam Ranh International Airport is 20 minutes away and the centre of Nha Trang is 25 minutes, with a free shuttle linking the resort to the city. The resort describes itself as contemporary boutique, built from natural materials on eco-friendly principles, with grass covering the villa rooftops. With 80 rooms, villas and residences, the layout suits couples, families and small groups who want space and privacy.

The resort has 80 units. Garden View One-Bedrooms number 28, with five Ocean View One-Bedrooms and three Ocean View Two-Bedrooms, each with a balcony or patio. Villas include 14 Garden Villas, nine Beachfront Villas and eight Cliff Villas, plus three Ocean View Two-Bedroom Villas. Cliff Villas sit above the water with an open view of the East Sea and a private splash pool, while Beachfront Villas stand at the edge of the sand. Ten Mia Luxury Five-Bedroom Residences spread over three floors, with a private infinity pool, for groups travelling together.

Tennis, basketball and volleyball are available with 24 hours notice. Yoga classes run free on Wednesday and Friday at 16:30 and on Sunday at 06:00, and private lessons can be arranged through the week. Children have a kids club at Kitchen By The Sea, with daily activities and handicrafts, weekend baking projects, cartoons, films and games. An on-site boutique sells Vietnamese handicrafts, designer clothing, bags and swimwear, and the tour desk arranges daily activities.

Two outdoor infinity pools and a separate children's pool give you plenty of room to swim, and the private beach has a snorkelling reef within easy reach. Guided kayak tours set out from the beachfront. The Ô Spa is described as a quiet oasis overlooking the East Sea, with signature treatments, body massages using avocado or coconut oil, facials, scrubs and wraps, waxing, and hand and foot care. Detox packages combine several treatments, and a gym with ocean views and modern cardio and strength equipment opens daily.

Kitchen By The Sea is the casual poolside restaurant, open from 07:00 to 22:00, serving Vietnamese cuisine, grilled dishes, fresh local seafood and prime international meats, with a breakfast buffet of Vietnamese and Western dishes. Themed nights through the week add live entertainment. La Baia is the Italian restaurant on the shore of Mia Cove, with fresh seafood, pasta and pizza. Mojito's Lounge and Bar, close to Reception, pairs a tapas style Asian and fusion menu with cocktails and a wide view across the East Sea.

The resort is a short journey from Cam Ranh International Airport, and the free shuttle makes it simple to reach Nha Trang when you want a change of scene. The activities team arranges excursions that include city exploration, Cai River cruises, mud bath visits and scuba diving. Back at the resort, the private beach and the reef offshore keep the water close at hand.
