Ana Mandara – an Unforgettable Experience in Vietnam

journeyPod is your guide to luxury travel around the world. And around the world is where we traveled to find break-taking views of the South China Sea, incredible food, fascinating culture, and the most accommodating people.

Nha Trang, Vietnam, capital of Khánh Hòa province, is located about 280 miles north of Saigon. Its pristine beaches are perfect for snorkeling and of course scuba diving.

The best food in Nha Trang is found on the streets and the smaller restaurants. journeyPod highly recommends Song Bien (“Ocean Wave”) for the best coconut chicken dish. And be sure to try the Vietnamese coffee (Phin Café).

Check out the 5 star elegance at the beachfront Ana Mandara.  Be sure to introduce yourself to Lucie at the front desk, and tell her Andrea from journeyPod sent you!

And don’t forget to check out the spa for an unique Vietnamese “cupping” massage.

journeyPod sat down with Ana Mandara GM, Lionel Valla, for an inside look at this amazing property.

Ana Mandara’s sister property is located about 30 minutes via boat across the bay.  Six Senses Hideaway Ninh Van Bay is another journeyPod pick so be sure to check out that podcast on an upcoming show.
