The Anam Cam Ranh doesn’t necessarily expect to be the same setting for any couple’s proposal, wedding, honeymoon and renewal of vows, but a host of remarkable new packages invites such a possibility.

The experiences leverage a storybook setting on Vietnam’s Cam Ranh peninsula, replete with uninterrupted views of toast-brown sands, turquoise waters, dramatic headlines and islands offshore that come together as one of Vietnam’s most picture-perfect seaside enclaves. Since its 2017 grand opening, the 12-hectare resort has celebrated countless proposals, weddings and honeymoons.
The Anam Cam Ranh’s proposal experience is anchored by a private candle-lit dining set-up on the resort’s beach, by one of its three unusually compelling swimming pools or in the privacy of a private-pool villa. A four-course menu is cooked by a private chef and served by a private waiter, with two Asian menus and two Western menus to choose from. The ‘Romantic Dinner’ menus feature the likes of entrees ‘Banana flower salad with Bay scallops, oyster Florentina’ and ‘Field mushroom cappuccino with pancetta wrapped scallops and garlic crostini’ and mains ‘Steamed fresh grouper with shitake mushroom sauce and spring onion’ and ‘West Coast pink roasted rack of lamb with Mediterranean vegetable timbale garlic candies’.
Weddings range from an intimate ceremony for two on the beachfront or vast lawn to a larger formal dining arrangement for up to 500 family and friends. Sweeteners for the bride and groom include a live guitarist and violinist during the ceremony, all sorts of exquisite flower arrangements, and a three-tier wedding cake.
“Our resort’s meticulous wedding planner sees to every last detail for the occasion of a lifetime, saving the bride and groom the often immense stress of orchestrating a wedding themselves,” said The Anam Group’s commercial director Martin Koerner.

“There is also scope for wedding ceremonies and receptions to be staged at the adjacent beachfront Axi Plaza, a multifunctional convention centre with a design inspired by Vietnam’s ubiquitous coracle boat. A state-of-the-art conference hall, a 360-degree rooftop venue, and a stunning outdoor beachfront event space are among Axi Plaza’s highlights.”
With a design inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine era, the 180-square-metre ‘Honeymoon Villas’ are both set on 400 square metres of lush hillside land located adjacent to the grounds of the resort’s tranquil 10-treatment room spa. The picture-perfect one-bedroom villas each feature a separate living room, jacuzzi, steam and sauna room and private terrace with sun loungers overlooking a glassy-surfaced 40-square-metre private pool. The villas’ romantic appeal draws on the Indochine period with the likes of imperial style roofs, big-bellied water vases, lanterns, and customized mosaic tiles.
A private BBQ in the villa, a romantic ritual at The Anam Spa including a body scrub, Sothys Paris facial and moisturizing milk bath, and movies on the beach are among the honeymoon experiences on offer.
The Honeymoon Villas come with complimentary daily afternoon tea, served either in the privacy of the villa, at The Colonial fine dining restaurant that features a quaint courtyard or a scenic spot such as amid the resort’s verdant gardens or on Long Beach.
Like the wedding packages, the renewal of vows packages also feature a night’s stay in a Premium Room or Garden View Villa, with free upgrades depending on availability.
A myriad of lush settings across the resort, including reflecting ponds, manicured lawns, and cobblestone pathways framed by established greenery, make for striking pre-wedding and wedding photo backdrops.
