Vietnam’s Anam Cam Ranh resort reveals wellness and recreation precinct
Aimed at promoting wellbeing, an 18-hole mini golf course, driving range, clubhouse, football field, tennis court, running track and organic sustainable farm are among the new offerings at Vietnam's Anam Cam Ranh resort.
Spanning 1700 square metres, the new 18-hole mini golf course is adjacent to the new 500 square metres driving range and pavilion-style clubhouse. The contoured mini golf course is believed to be the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, due to its real grass finishing that the resort’s gardeners painstakingly maintain.
The new football field is already proving popular with football-obsessed Vietnamese and international guests while the resort’s tennis court, fenced by thick greenery, has been fully revamped.
Manned by staff ready to assist with golf equipment, tennis rackets, tennis and footballs, towels, water and other refreshments, the open-air clubhouse marks the start and finish of the new circular running track.
Flanked by greenery, the track stretches for 1.5 kilometres around the resort’s recently opened organic sustainable farm and various recreation facilities such as the soccer field.
The 8500 square metres sustainable farm is dedicated to cultivating an array of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and eggs for meals for guests and staff. Chefs incorporate fresh, organic ingredients - such as morning glory, malabar spinach, corn, mustard green, wild betel leaves, and chicken and duck eggs - in meals served to Lang Viet Restaurant & Bar’s diners as well as at the staff kitchen. In addition to ducks and chickens, the farm is home to an abundance of geese, rabbits, goats, guinea fowls, turkeys and peacocks and their offspring. Children interact with the friendly animals during a supervised program to learn about sustainable farming.
Describing it as “such a reinvigorating place to be due to its vivid greenery and dramatic mountain backdrop”, The Anam Group’s Group General Manager Laurent Myter is encouraging guests to make the most of the “vast and verdant” new precinct.
Myter explains “take a stroll or light jog, tee off at the new driving range and mini golf course sans plastic grass and kitsch windmills, kick a soccer ball, wield a tennis racket or rummage through our sustainable farm … or, better still, do it all.”
