Ho Chi Minh City, July 2024 – Gran Meliá Nha Trang, the luxurious seafront sanctuary on Vietnam’s stunning central coast, is celebrating its first anniversary this month, marking a highly successful year of creating unparalleled guest experiences for the world’s most discerning travelers. Vietnam’s first and only Gran Meliá resort, this five-star retreat opened its door in July 2023 and immediately gained an excellent reputation for its outstanding villas, five-star services and its ability to seamlessly blend the brand’s rich Spanish heritage with the finest Vietnamese hospitality.

These compelling elements have made Gran Meliá Nha Trang a popular choice among lifestyle-conscious couples, families and friends alike. With a choice of elegant indoor and alfresco event spaces, including its luxurious villas, this breath-taking resort has also become a popular destination for life’s special occasions, including engagements, birthday parties and wedding anniversaries!

“Perfect Luxury Hotel” Rises to Nha Trang’s Top 5 on Tripadvisor

Gran Meliá Nha Trang has made a strong first impression since it opened, achieving a faultless “five out of five” bubble rating on Tripadvisor following hundreds of reviews. The overall resort has been described as “very luxurious and sophisticated” with “breath-taking ocean views”, and the resort staff are “angels” according to one delighted guest! A happy visitor said the indulgent citrus bath was the “highlight of my stay” while another hailed the Spanish paella at Hispania as “the best ever in my life”. The kids’ club was regularly highlighted in glowing terms, with many parents thanking the resort’s team for taking such good care of their little ones. The resort’s food was described as “100/100” with Hispania being called an “amazing dining experience with superbly authentic Spanish cuisine”. And the landscape was often highlighted as being “very beautiful” and “harmonious”. Perhaps the most memorable review was from a guest who simply called Gran Meliá Nha Trang the “perfect luxury hotel”.

“Our first anniversary gives us the chance to reflect on a wonderful year, during which we have curated many magical moments and made many new friends. I am so grateful to all our guests for their fantastic feedback – they are our inspiration and we will always strive to exceed their expectations and give them lifelong memories. We are proud to have achieved such a strong first year, but this is just the beginning – moving forward, we will continue to improve, innovate and elevate the standard of five-star hospitality in Vietnam. My entire team and I look forward to welcoming many repeat visitors and new friends to Gran Meliá Nha Trang and helping them to create truly unforgettable experiences,” said Jingyi Wu, the resort’s Executive Assistant Manager.

To celebrate its first anniversary, Gran Meliá Nha Trang has revealed a special program of activities and events that capture the Spanish spirit of fiesta! At Hispania, the Fiesta del Brunch is a vibrant celebration of social dining that showcases fine Spanish cuisine, refreshing drinks and live DJ performances. This original à la carte brunch concept will present an enticing array of shared tapas-style plates, specialty egg dishes, authentic Spanish appetizers, including a sublime cold seafood platter with a duo of sauces, plus a choice of prime meats and fresh seafood cooked to perfection on the sizzling Josper Grill, including Segovian-style slow-roasted suckling pig!

Staged every Sunday from 12.00 to 15.00 hrs, this is set to become a new talk-of-the-town experience for hotel guests and local residents alike, as all diners will be able to unwind all-day-long at the resort’s beach and pool. Revelers can also feel the rhythm and energy of live music with a soulful Sunset Saxophone and Spanish sangria every Friday evening at Sal, the chic poolside venue, and a live jazz band every Saturday night at Theia, the sophisticated lounge.

Hispania’s Fiesta del Brunch has been greeted with delight by discerning foodies in Vietnam. One popular influencer, Bubufoodshow, who attended the launch edition, commented: “With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the shimmering waters of Nha Trang Bay and a live DJ setting the mood, the ambiance is simply perfect. Highly recommended for both hotel guests and locals alike.”

A Life Well Lived with Gastronomic Greatness

Nestled directly on the shore, Gran Meliá Nha Trang invites couples, families and friends to enjoy “a life well lived”. Guests have myriad ways to relax and recalibrate throughout their stay, including water sports such as kayaking and paddle-boarding, and mindful activities including yoga and tai chi.
