Anantara Mui Ne Resort

Anantara Mui Ne sits on Mui Ne Beach in Lam Dong Province, on Vietnam's south-central coast. The resort has 89 rooms and suites, including private pool villas, so a wedding party can fill a good share of it. The beach runs for around 10 km of golden sand.

The main pool is a beachfront infinity pool with a bar alongside, and each standalone villa looks onto its own courtyard with a pool and a sunken dining pavilion. It is a relaxed, sea-first sort of place rather than a grand hotel, which suits couples who want the beach to do most of the work and the guest list to stay manageable.

You arrive at the beach ceremony by round coracle boat and say your vows facing the ocean before an open-air seafood banquet. The team works with weddings of 30 to 200 guests, and dancing and Champagne toasts move into the ballroom. A dedicated planner handles invitations, transport, décor, catering and music. Ask the events team about the music curfew and whether the ballroom is the wet weather plan.

Ask too about a welcome evening by the infinity pool and whether a villa can be set aside for getting ready, as the sunken dining pavilion makes a lovely spot for a private breakfast. These details are agreed wedding by wedding, so raise them in your first enquiry rather than later.

With 89 rooms, suites and villas, staying on site is realistic for a small or medium group, and it is worth asking whether the resort can hold a block of rooms for your guests. Spa treatments can be reserved in advance, which suits a quiet day before or after the wedding. Most guests will fly into Ho Chi Minh City, about two and a half hours away by road. Treat the transfer as part of the weekend and ask the team about private cars or a coach for the group.
