An Lam Retreats Saigon River Resort

On the peaceful banks of the Saigon River in Thuan An, Binh Duong — about a 25-minute boat ride from Ho Chi Minh City's center. Close enough for a day in the city, far enough to feel like a private river hideaway; Ben Thanh Market, Saigon Central Post Office and Vincom Landmark 81 are all within easy reach.

A contemporary 5-star retreat of 35 villas and suites set under a shaded tropical canopy and across lush gardens. Rooms blend local heritage with handcrafted wooden furniture, natural wood floors, large terraces overlooking the river, minibars and LCD TVs, plus bathrooms with wooden tubs or rainfall showers and premium bedding.

Jungle-style spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, an outdoor swimming pool, sauna/steam options and a fitness center. Concierge services, complimentary wireless internet and a poolside bar make it easy to relax — wake up to river-breeze mornings and garden views.

Business center plus conference facilities with meeting rooms and about 1,119 sq ft (104 m²) of event space. Ferry-terminal shuttle is provided at no charge and free self-parking is available onsite.

On-site restaurants serve Western and Vietnamese dishes, including a poolside restaurant for alfresco garden dining and a pool bar for relaxed drinks. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily (mornings) to send you out ready for river or city adventures.
