Vietnam’s largest seaside resort property, the five-story
Vinpearl Resort & Spa in Nha Trang, has been converted to a
Sofitel luxury brand under Accor, boosting amenities with plans to
more than double the hotel’s current 230 rooms.
The Sofitel VinPearl Resort & Spa, which opened in 2003 on
Hon Tre Island a few minutes off Nha Trang city, features 230 rooms
and suites with an additional 270 rooms planned. It is fronted by a
private bay with a 700-meter stretch of white sand beach and
features three restaurants and three swimming pools, including the
largest in Vietnam.
The resort includes numerous sports and recreation facilities
including four tennis courts, fitness centre with daily aerobics
classes, driving range and putting green, archery range, mountain
bikes, Kids’ Club, table tennis and game room with pool tables, Mah
Jong and chess. The resort’s Grand Ballroom can accommodate over
700 attendees theater style and also has three additional meeting
rooms for smaller gatherings.
The hotel dive centre offers certified diving courses and can
arrange dive and snorkel trips to Nha Trang’s protected marine
area, which features nine islands and over 100 species of both fish
and coral. Other water sports available at the hotel include Jet
Skis, wakeboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing, ocean canoeing and
parasailing.
It is Accor’s fifth Sofitel high-end resort and hotel the group
manages in Vietnam, following Sofitel Metropole Hanoi, Sofitel
Plaza Hanoi, Sofitel Plaza Saigon and Sofitel Palace Dalat.
