Deservedly recognised as one of Vietnam’s Leading Boutique Resorts, An Lam Retreats Saigon River sits on a bend along the river its name honours, the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh city just 25 minutes away by river shuttle. Effortlessly stylish and utterly boutique, this riverfront sanctuary features just 35 suites and villas whose richly decorated interiors hark back to Vietnam’s French colonial era, with subtle touches of modernity applying a contemporary flavour. Sparkling amid the shaded gardens, the hotel’s exquisite outdoor infinity pool is as inviting a prospect as the Jungle Spa, where traditional treatments, yoga and sound healing soothe the body as effectively as the thriving tropical surroundings soothe the soul. The cuisine here combines East and West, with the Sen Restaurant serving both authentic Vietnamese recipes as well as international favourites in an al fresco setting overlooking the river where glowing lanterns dangle from the treetops. In addition, a vibrant bar stands beside a lotus-littered pond, serving up hand-crafted cocktails, while guests can also opt for private culinary experiences and dining in a treehouse. If you’re able to peel yourself away from the hotel and its sheltered surrounds, you can embark on a romantic sunset cruise along the river while indulging in delicious canapes, while the fascinating Cu Chi Tunnels are within easy reach, as are a number of other intriguing cultural sites.
