Situated on Vietnam's emerging Cam Ranh peninsula, fronting Long Beach, Alma resort commands some 30 hectares of inspiring ground. Bold, spacious and emblematic of Vietnam's maturation as a destination, the independently owned and operated luxury resort is breaking new ground and offers 580 oversized suites and pavilions that all afford sweeping vistas of the ocean, including contemporary three-bedroom oceanfront pavilions each totalling 224sqm. As a complement to Cam Ranh's aquamarine waters and dramatic headlands, Alma's design sets a contemporary tone with a neutral palette of whites, earthy colours, and soft blues, accentuated with modern yet minimalist decor and abstract artwork. Alma features a broad spectrum of restaurants helmed by top chefs; a food court with an array of local and international cuisine; a classical bar; a pool bar; and a beach bar. Signature restaurants include the Alma Garden, which serves an extensive a la carte breakfast spread of Western and Asian favourites; the Atlantis, which specialises in fresh local seafood and features live seafood tanks; and La Casa, an Italian trattoria. Le Spa features 13 separate treatment villas sprinkled across the landscape, each named after a different Vietnamese flower, as well as ‘his and hers' saunas and steam rooms. Other highlights include 12 swimming pools cascading down to the beach, a waterpark, a 70-seat cinema, a convention center, an amphitheater, a science museum, a gymnasium and yoga room, an 18-hole mini golf course, a youth centre with virtual reality games, a kid's club, a watersports center, and even an ‘Alma Mart' mini supermarket.
