Thailand-based hospitality operator Anantara has announced plans to open its first property in Vietnam this autumn - Anatara Mui Ne Resort and Spa.

Located nearly 200km (125 miles) north east of Ho Chi Minh City on the south eastern coast of Vietnam, the resort will be sited near to the town of Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan province.

Anantara Mui Ne Resort and Spa will feature a 361sq m (3,886sq ft) spa area, incorporating five treatment rooms - three deluxe and two suites - featuring steam and whirlpools.

The spa will be an Anantara-branded facility using products supplied by Comfort Zone and Thailand-based Panpuri, while also offering manicure and pedicure services.

Other facilities at the 89-room resort will comprise a beach swimming pool; a fitness centre; a reading lounge; and a range of food and beverage outlets.
