An Lam Retreats Saigon River Resort  

On the peaceful Saigon River, about 15 km north of Ho Chi Minh City, this riverfront resort sits under a shaded tropical canopy. Expect a scenic 25-minute speedboat transfer from the city centre or roughly a 35-minute drive depending on traffic.

About 35 contemporary villas and suites are tucked into lush gardens, blending local heritage with clean, wood-forward design. Rooms feature natural exotic wood floors, handcrafted wooden furniture, large terraces with river views, premium bedding and en suite bathrooms with wooden bathtubs and relaxation loungers.

Relax in an outdoor pool or in select villas' private plunge pools, unwind at the tropical spa with signature treatments, and lounge under sun-dappled trees on river-facing terraces. The retreat emphasizes privacy and a back-to-nature vibe — wake up to river-breeze mornings and the sound of the garden.

Event and meeting facilities cater to small conferences and private gatherings, supported by concierge services and complimentary wireless internet throughout the property.

On-site restaurants serve a mix of Vietnamese and Western dishes with an emphasis on authentic local flavours, plus poolside dining and a bar. A complimentary breakfast is provided daily to kick off easy, flavor-forward mornings.
