With pure aquamarine waters that glisten in the tropical sun, idyllic islands, coral reefs, sea grass meadows, secluded coves and sandy beaches, Nha Trang Bay is an immaculate natural paradise. At Gran Meliá Nha Trang, the five-star resort on Vietnam’s stunning central coast, guests can help to preserve this pristine ecosystem and protect its rich marine life with a choice of exclusive luxury experiences that will immerse them in a breath-taking world of wonder.
Part of the Gran Meliá brand’s “Exceptional Experiences” programme, which connects travellers with the spirit of their destination, Gran Meliá Nha Trang offers three highly immersive activities – the “Gran Coral Discovery”, “Catamaran Voyage”, and “Private Cooking Experience” – which enable couples, families and friends to learn new skills and create lifelong memories. Under the Gran Coral Discovery and Catamaran Voyage, eco-conscious explorers can uncover the precious natural treasures of this spectacular Vietnamese seascape and help to conserve them for future generations, while also enjoying a unique and luxurious experience.
Create a sustainable future with the exclusive Gran Coral Discovery
Nature lovers and passionate conservationists can help to protect Vietnam’s underwater world with the Gran Coral Discovery experience. Guided by experts, this marine conservation initiative invites up to six guests to learn the art of attaching new coral fragments to a colourful reef at Tri Nguyen Island, which is an oasis for various species of coral – such as soft coral, black coral, wire coral, fire coral and more – and can be reached via yacht or catamaran. As these young corals grow, they will develop into an amazing ecosystem that attracts tropical fish and sea turtles, creating lasting benefits for the entire ocean.
With clear seas, especially from April to August, options for accomplished divers and newcomers alike – including night dives –professional photos, and weekly Coral Talks for kids, these experiences will help all ages to foster a deeper connection with the environment.
The Gran Coral Discovery reflects Gran Meliá Nha Trang’s commitment to conservation and sustainability, which is woven into every aspect of its operations. The resort has introduced water conservation, waste reduction and recycling programmes to prevent pollution and preserve the marine life of Nha Trang Bay. It also works hand-in-hand with local communities to support the sustainable future of this idyllic destination.
Set sail on an eco-sensitive Catamaran Voyage
Step aboard an elegant white yacht and sail into the blue yonder with a luxurious and eco-sensitive Catamaran Voyage. Having been personally escorted to the pier and welcomed aboard by the professional captain and a personal butler, guests will be able to spend a glorious morning or afternoon gliding gracefully across the shimmering waves – powered by the ocean breeze. Gran Meliá Nha Trang is one of very few resorts in Vietnam to offer catamaran cruises, and every morning or afternoon excursion can be fully customised to the needs of each guest or group with a choice of inspiring activities. Travellers can feel the spray of the ocean waves on stand-up paddle-boards, explore the vibrant underwater world with snorkelling experiences, or simply splash in the refreshing water and relax on secluded sandy shores, away from the crowds.
All ages can unwind, soak up the sun, snap fantastic photographs and stay fully refreshed onboard the catamaran throughout the day, and the dedicated chef will prepare a sumptuous brunch or dinner. Every voyage includes a stop at a secluded island, and for special occasions, families and friends can raise a toast to their unforgettable adventure with sunset cocktails, or party into the evening with an onboard DJ (all available for a surcharge)!
“At Gran Meliá Nha Trang, we strive to create highly personalised, one-of-a-kind and sustainable activities. Our perfect position on the shores of Nha Trang Bay creates opportunities for truly immersive guest experiences. But we understand that we are only guardians of this destination and have a responsibility to preserve it for future generations. Our Catamaran Voyage and Gran Coral Discovery will help every visitor to explore the spectacular seascapes in a responsible way, while simultaneously enjoying a luxurious adventure and creating a deep connection with the environment. From romantic couples’ adventures and special occasions to inspiring family excursions and fun-filled days with friends, we can create memories that last a lifetime,” said Ms Elena Lopez de Silanes, the resort’s Director of Guest Experience.
