The Anam Mui Ne is the first Vietnamese resort to makes its mark in Small Luxury Hotels (SLH) collection

The resort, which opened in January, is deemed the most desirable community of independently-minded travellers and independently spirited hotels in the world

Hotels must undergo a stringent vetting process and conform to the highest standards of luxury and guest wellbeing before being accepted into the SLH’s characterful collection of intimate spaces in unusual places. 

Headquartered in London with offices worldwide, SLH represents 520 hotels in more than 90 countries that are anti-chain and anti-same and offer secluded, discrete options. Benefits for SLH’s travelling members include discounts on bookings, early check-in and late check-out, complimentary breakfast, and room upgrades, and more.

The Anam Mui Ne’s founder and owner Pham Van Hien said he and the resort’s team were thrilled to be recognised by such a prestigious group. “It is an absolute honour to join SLH and for The Anam Mui Ne, crafted by age-old artisans from across Vietnam, to be recognised as the collection’s first Vietnamese property,” said Hien. 

The appointment of The Anam Group’s Group General Manager Laurent Myter as a member of the International Advisory Board of Hoteliers for SLH’s APAC region marks the first time that a representative from Vietnam has had a seat on the advisory board. He was previously an Executive Director and the President of SLH’s International Advisory Board of Hoteliers for three years and two years respectively.

The resort has a ban on single-use plastics and has implemented an array of measures to reduce its carbon footprint ranging from solar power and locally sourced ingredients. Laundry water is recycled to water the gardens. Straws, bags, and bathroom amenities are biodegradable. 

The resort’s eco-friendly key cards are also made of wood that’s been sourced from sustainably managed forests.
