EVASON ANA MANDARA - REVIEW
Ana Mandara stands bang on the beach in the middle of town, but the feel here is peaceful and secluded and the moment you enter you know you’ve picked the right place. You find a smart, informal beachside resort that stretches along half a kilometre of private beach, where palms soar neatly into the sky and padded loungers lie under thatched parasols. Timber-framed interiors are open to the breeze; wander about and find 2 pools, 2 bars and 2 restaurants, all of which have watery views. There’s also a tennis court, bikes to borrow and a spa that overlooks the ocean.
Fabulous airy villas are scattered about the grounds and 5 full-time gardeners keep the place spotless. All have French windows that open onto shaded decks, and while suites are bigger and look onto the beach, all are pretty dreamy. Boats can be arranged to whisk you off to nearby islands, Nha Trang’s markets and restaurants will tempt you out, you can take to the hills to discover the White Buddha. If you want luxury on the beach with a little culture on your doorstep, you’ll be happy here.
