Why do people love staying in your hotel? Commanding the most pristine length of Mui Ne’s beach, the award-winning Anantara Mui Ne Resort boasts an array of restaurants and bars and is a gateway to the region’s natural and cultural attractions including its red sand dunes. Guests love soaking up the stunning vista of pristine golden sands and cobalt blue waters from the resort’s capacious pool, swim-up Flow Bar, beachside Thung Restaurant or deck. You can also unwind and relish quiet wellness at Anantara Spa by indulging a selection of rejuvenating massages, scrubs, wraps and facials using indigenous ingredients. What is there to do in the area? Mui Ne is a Southeast Asian mecca for kiteboarding and windsurfing, due to excellent conditions resulting from consistent cross onshore winds and low rainfall. Dive in and join the many watersports enthusiasts dotting the ocean surface. Sliding down the sand dunes stretching to the horizon in white, red and gold, marvelling at the riot of colour created by the eclectic mix of fishing boats moored just off Mui Ne village’s coast, and walking through the whimsically-named Fairy Stream flanked by pitted rock formations redolent of a mini Grand Canyon in parts are just some of the many things you can do in the area. The picturesque Sea Links Golf and Country Club, the area’s only golf course situated just two kilometres from Anantara Mui Ne, slopes down to the bay. Set 80 metres above sea level, the 18-hole 72 par course is described as one of the most challenging links-style golf courses in all of Asia. What kind of breakfast do you offer? Anantara Mui Ne Resort offers a delectable buffet breakfast of Western and Asian dishes at L’Anmien Restaurant, overlooking our lush, landscaped gardens and lagoon and, in turn, the ocean. There are many live cooking stations featuring eggs, pancakes, waffles, Southeast Asian and Indian fare. We have daily, freshly squeezed detox juices, including dragon fruit juice, apple, beetroot and carrot juice, and papaya, morning glory, watermelon and mint juice help you start your day on a healthy note.

Which are your most popular room types, and why? All of our room categories are popular. However, our pool villas are particularly sought after as they include their own private pools. What facilities do you have for children and can you fit extra beds in your rooms? The children (and those young at heart) will be entertained for hours thanks to the resort’s Children’s Club. Feed the fish at the resort’s tranquil, water lily-laden pond, ride a round boat, make grasshopper origami, carve fruit and more. Anantara Mui Ne has numerous accommodation options suitable for families including its Two Bedroom Family Pool Villa. We can organize for an extra bed to be implemented in a room or suite upon request. What message would you like to give Hotel Guru readers? The little touches, the attention to detail, make Anantara Mui Ne special. For example, no idyllic beach setting is truly complete without coconuts and at Anantara Mui Ne, guests can literally drink fresh coconut juice from a coconut tree on the resort grounds. Designed to help skin fight the ravages of age, homemade coconut oil is made in the morning on a weekly basis at the resort’s L’Anmien Restaurant and available at the spa along with homemade coffee body scrub.
