Best Independent Style Hotels in Quang Nam

This suburban resort benefits from its own private area of the beach and is surrounded by vast landscaped gardens with over 400 types of palm (hence the name). Pretty teak wooden bridges pass over large lily pad covered ponds and the soft green grass runs all the way down to the sand. Guests are accommodated in 216 rooms and bungalows – all with balconies or terraces – displaying an ancient architectural style. All bookings include daily breakfast at the Terrace Restaurant, welcome drinks, flowers and treats, as well as access to a free shuttle into town. Table sports and tennis can be played onsite and there’s a gorgeous swimming pool.

This resort echoes the experience of visiting the country’s leading UNESCO listed town, with Japanese, French and Vietnamese accents, little streets, ponds and accommodation finished with clay-tiled roofs. Interiors are colonially inspired, while the exterior revolves around a large pool, overlooking the ocean. International cuisine is served at L’Annam Restaurant, with live music in the Cham Bar, sports in the Elephant Bar and beachside refreshments in the Faifo Bar. Guests have access to complimentary bike and bodyboard hire, a kids’ club, airport transfers and sidecar rides into the ancient town.
