‘High-touch, low-tech’ spa debuts in Vietnam
POSTED 25 Jan 2017 . BY Rebecca Barnes
Located on Vietnam’s coastline across 400sq m (4305sq ft) of private land, The Anam, an independently operated 105-villa, five-star resort, draws inspiration from the heritage of Nha Trang and the original settlements in Cham Kingdom and Bali for its new Sri Mara Spa.

Designed by local firm F5 Architects using traditional knowledge, native materials including luxury timber from North Vietnam and stones indigenous to Nha Trang have been used, with local tiles, ceramics and handmade artworks.

Taking its name from the first king of the Cham Kingdom, the spa is the first dedicated Balinese spa in Nha Trang – its high-touch, low-tech approach includes stress relieving traditional Balinese treatments and massages performed by specially selected therapists, plus detox and slimming programmes using tea-inspired Parisian brand THÉMAÉ.

The Anam has a philosophy of ‘No Shoes. No News. No Stress’. Each of the villas are finished with Vietnamese hardwood, decorative stone and antique style tiling, while bathrooms feature sunken bathtubs, rain showers and handmade French toiletries.

There are also two Spa Villas located within the spa grounds. These feature a large ensuite bedroom with direct access to a private pool adjoining the spa therapy area, and a sunken granite Jacuzzi. Two complimentary spa treatments per day are included for each guest booking this accommodation.
