Alma Resort and The Anam in the coastal province of Khanh Hoa placed in the top 3 and 5, respectively, in the Best Family Resorts Worldwide list by Holidays with Kids, a specialist and guide in family travel and holidays.

The five-star resort is known for its colonial era charm and views of one of Vietnam’s most beautiful beaches. Its staff can organize a fishing excursion in a traditional Vietnamese boat and other cultural experiences.
"Whether in the spa, at the recreation and fitness center, taking part in water sports, yoga and tennis, watching movies, hanging out at the kids club, or just relaxing with a cocktail and a good book, at The Anam there are ample ways to enjoy the serene magic of a tropical getaway," wrote Lifestyle Asia, a digital news platform on luxury lifestyle.
The resort also made to the top 25 of most luxury resorts in Asia in Reader Choice Awards 2021 released by Condé Nast Traveller magazine.
