JW Marriott Expands in Vietnam with the Debut of JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa
Set on 22 hectares of pristine natural paradise along Bai Dai Beach, this peaceful seafront sanctuary beautifully fuses breathtaking scenery with cultural charm and the creativity of local artisans.
CAM RANH, Vietnam, — JW Marriott, a distinguished member of Marriott Bonvoy’s extensive portfolio comprising over 30 exceptional hotel brands, proudly announces the grand opening of the JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa. This moment marks both the luxury brand’s dynamic expansion in Vietnam and its highly anticipated debut on the country’s alluring and culturally rich central coast. The newly unveiled resort seamlessly marries the tranquil elegance of its private beachside setting with the authentic warmth and charm of Vietnamese heritage, offering guests refined accommodations, world-class amenities, and locally inspired cuisine. Thoughtfully designed to foster an atmosphere of well-being, the resort promises to deliver immersive, meaningful experiences that nurture the mind, body, and spirit of each guest.
“JW Marriott embraces the belief that connecting with nature is an important part of nourishing one’s soul. JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa embodies this commitment by providing an oasis of tranquillity where guests can relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones,” says Duke Nam, Regional Vice President – South Korea, Vietnam & Philippines, Marriott International. “This sophisticated destination is the ideal retreat for our experience-seeking guests to discover the natural and cultural essence of Vietnam’s central coast.”
Where the Forest Meets the Sea on Vietnam’s Pure Shores
Inspired by the ancient philosophy of the five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—this resort is an exemplary showcase of Asian-inspired design, shaped by the globally recognized design studios AND, SUPER POTATO, and PIA. Set within a lush 22-hectare tropical sanctuary, guests are enveloped by the abundance of more than 1,000 native species of flowers, trees, and shrubs, creating a vibrant and immersive botanical landscape. The reception lobby, artfully resembling a natural rock formation, provides a dramatic yet welcoming first impression, opening out to peaceful, sweeping views that introduce the resort’s tranquil atmosphere. Harmoniously integrated with the environment, the resort features gently winding pathways shaded by towering palms and dense greenery, leading organically towards the property’s centerpiece: direct access to the soft, white sands of Bai Dai Beach (Long Beach). The shoreline stretches for a magnificent 10 kilometers, where crystal-clear, turquoise waters lap the coast, providing a stunning natural setting and a sense of escape.
Thoughtful Design Rooted in Place
JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa features 203 elegantly designed guest rooms and private villas, each thoughtfully curated to inspire restoration and a deep sense of connection. Interiors reflect the coastal beauty of Cam Ranh with organic tones, natural materials, and refined wooden accents, including lattice partitions that echo traditional Vietnamese design. Among the 27 one- to four-bedroom villas – ten of which are set directly on the beachfront – select accommodations are adorned with ethnic textiles, adding a subtle cultural richness to their serene, light-filled spaces. Each features a private infinity pool and spacious outdoor terrace for elevated relaxation.
A Nourishing Culinary Journey Inspired by Nature’s Elements
The resort features an enticing selection of restaurants, bars, and lounges, each thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in a journey inspired by Earth’s elements. At Clay Craft, the all-day dining venue, guests are surrounded by the earthy tones of Cam Ranh’s rich red soil, reflected in both the décor and the vibrant energy of a live pottery studio adjacent to the dining area. Here, experienced chefs draw upon local craftsmanship and cultural roots, presenting authentic Vietnamese dishes alongside international favorites prepared in an open kitchen.
At the Seafood Grill, the elemental power of fire takes center stage. The savory aroma rises as chefs grill the freshest local seafood over glowing charcoal, creating a feast rich in both flavor and spectacle. Bayside Bistro and Ocean Bar provide a breezy, beachfront escape, offering a menu of international cuisine in settings enhanced by panoramic ocean views and the laid-back pulse of tropical music, ideal for both leisurely lunches and intimate evening meals.
For a more relaxed atmosphere, the Lobby Lounge welcomes guests with the subtle scent of fresh coffee and an array of light bites, positioned perfectly to catch the refreshing sea breezes. The Baking Company delights with its display of golden, artisan breads and pastries, paired with revitalizing detox juices. Rounding out the experience, The Pool Bar offers a chic sanctuary for basking in sunlight, where guests can enjoy tropical drinks and signature cocktails as the day transitions into twilight.
Discover the Art of Local Pottery
At JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa, guests enjoy a meaningful connection to the region’s vibrant landscape and centuries-old cultural traditions. This relationship is brought to life at The Pottery Club—a warm, inviting studio and creative sanctuary seamlessly connected to Clay Craft, the resort’s dynamic restaurant. Here, culinary artistry meets heritage as dishes are elegantly plated on bespoke ceramics, meticulously handcrafted onsite.
The Pottery Club stands out as a center for preserving and reviving the ancient spirit of Champa pottery, focusing in particular on traditional Bau Truc Village methods—techniques passed down for generations by one of Southeast Asia’s most storied pottery communities. Guests can explore the artistry and stories embedded in local craftsmanship by participating in dynamic, interactive classes led by master potters. They’ll experience every step of the process, from shaping clay by hand to practicing age-old techniques like sun-drying and open-fire baking. This hands-on journey not only teaches the creation of authentic earthenware but also deepens each guest’s appreciation of the creative and historical richness of Vietnamese artistry.
A Haven of Adventure and Discovery
At JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa, each stay unfolds as a journey of discovery, surrounded by experiences crafted to immerse guests in the vibrant coastal culture and spectacular natural allure of the region. Guests can relax in a variety of serene swimming sanctuaries—there are two spacious main pools ideal for lounging, dedicated children’s pools for safe play, and a gently winding Lazy River that threads its way through the resort’s verdant, tropical gardens, offering moments of true relaxation. Young visitors can enjoy a rich roster of engaging and educational activities at the resort’s two vibrant children’s clubs. These imaginative, nature-inspired hubs are thoughtfully designed to appeal to the curiosity of both toddlers and teenagers. Enhancing this is the Family by JW program, which sparks creativity and curiosity, empowering little ones to explore the resort through interactive adventures and memorable, hands-on experiences.
Embracing the Serenity of Nature
A haven of tranquility for wellness enthusiasts, the Spa by JW features eight exquisitely designed treatment rooms where natural light, earthy materials, and lush greenery create a peaceful ambiance. Guests are invited to relax in the vitality pool, where gently bubbling waters and stone surroundings evoke the feel of a secluded oasis, and every detail aims to nurture holistic well-being.
Those seeking invigorating activity will find the fitness center open 24 hours a day. Modern machines and spacious workout areas, set against the backdrop of flourishing gardens, provide an inspiring environment for exercise, whether you prefer early morning cardio or late-night training.
Nearby, the JW Garden stands as both a flourishing organic farm and a sanctuary for the senses, overflowing with fragrant herbs and crisp vegetables. These fresh harvests supply the resort kitchens with exceptional flavor, while the garden’s serene paths and vibrant plantings offer the perfect setting for hands-on Vietnamese cooking classes, encouraging guests to explore the tastes and scents of the local cuisine.
“I am delighted to introduce a new era of luxury hospitality to the pure shores of Cam Ranh Bay with Central Vietnam’s first JW Marriott resort. With our seamless blend of natural beauty, cultural authenticity and world-class facilities, JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa is a beachside sanctuary where guests can truly connect to the heritage of this idyllic and intriguing destination.
