The resort management said a rigorous evaluation process had led to its nomination in February 2023 and they continued to maintain top-tier service quality throughout.
Continuous improvements to utility services, product enhancements and an unwavering spirit of hospitality have cemented Ana Mandara Cam Ranh's reputation as a beloved and trusted destination among patrons and partners, they added.
The trust was evidenced by an overwhelming number of votes from industry experts and the general public that enabled Ana Mandara Cam Ranh to outshine several renowned contenders in the Asian resort landscape.
The resort has emerged as a prominent ambassador for Khanh Hoa province, a noteworthy achievement for a resort that entered the tourism market just over a year ago.
The resort’s general manager, Le Dai Hai, said: “As a newcomer on the Asian tourism map, we are tremendously honored to be recognized at this year's World Travel Awards. With this achievement, we are poised to redouble our efforts to deliver the most valuable experiences to our guests.
“Moreover, our dedicated staff will continually craft engaging activities and unique services to ensure that Ana Mandara Cam Ranh remains the foremost choice for travelers planning their Vietnam adventures.”

Ana Mandara Cam Ranh comprises 36 villas featuring distinctive thatched roof architecture and 140 luxurious rooms with elegantly curved contours, affording breathtaking views from all suites and deluxe accommodations.
The 5-star resort offers an array of leisure spaces, including a sprawling outdoor swimming pool, a tranquil spa sanctuary, and an organic garden that supplies fresh ingredients to its two restaurants, known for serving sumptuous Asian cuisine.
It is little wonder that the resort is sought after for romantic wedding ceremonies and other unforgettable celebratory events.
