On the long sweep of Bai Dai Beach, where the mountains meet the sea, Radisson Blu Resort, Cam Ranh treats leisure as something lived outdoors: in the water, under the palms and on the sand. The resort has been nominated for Vietnam’s Leading Leisure Resort 2026.
Between Mountain and Sea
The resort’s rooms, suites and villas are designed to reflect the two landscapes that frame this stretch of Cam Ranh coast. Mornings begin quietly, with coffee or tea on a balcony or patio and the ocean filling the view. The beachfront pool villas take that intimacy further, pairing a private pool with Bai Dai Beach only a few steps away. Higher up, The Lounge on the thirteenth floor turns the horizon into a backdrop for hot tea, artful pastries and an early evening aperitivo.
The Taste of the Coast
Dining follows the rhythm of a beach day. Each morning opens at Sunrise, the all-day restaurant, with the resort’s Super Breakfast. Later, Blu Lobster brings the coast to the table with fresh seafood and the local catch of the day. As the light softens, Cheers sets dinner and cocktails outdoors in the sea breeze, while the beachfront Waves and Get Wet bars keep the afternoon cool with smoothies, light snacks and health-conscious cocktails served close to the water.
Play at Every Age
Leisure here is hands-on and shared across generations. Rainforest Waterpark, which the resort describes as the first themed waterpark in Cam Ranh, unfolds among tropical greenery with six slides, splash zones and family-friendly corners. The SPLASH Kids Club keeps younger guests absorbed, while the private beach offers umbrellas, sundecks and room to do very little at all. Kites rise over the sand each day, and the beach lawn hosts volleyball, giant chess and football. Guests pick coconuts straight from the tree and taste them on the spot. Complimentary bicycles invite unhurried rides through the lush grounds, and at Blu Lobster, cooking classes teach authentic Vietnamese dishes while mixology sessions turn tropical ingredients into cocktails of the guest’s own making.
Salt, Steam and Stillness
At ESC Spa, the pace slows deliberately. The journey begins in an aromatic floral sauna scented with gentle botanicals, continues through the steam room, and settles in a Himalayan salt chamber lined with natural salt bricks under soft, warm light. The Ice Grotto offers a crisp, cool counterpoint. The signature Vietnamese treatment draws on local traditions, and the Villa and Spa Retreat extends that calm into a private stay. Complimentary yoga sessions take place in a light-filled studio overlooking the ocean.
Leisure, Fully Realised
What sets Radisson Blu Resort, Cam Ranh apart in the leisure category is breadth held together by place. Few resorts manage to serve a family chasing waterslides, a couple seeking a beachfront villa and a guest in search of stillness within the same stretch of coastline, without any of them feeling secondary. The resort’s activity programme is rooted in its setting, from the coconut harvest to the Vietnamese kitchen, and its wellness offer is considered rather than incidental. It is a direction already recognised by the Best Hotels & Resorts Awards in 2024, when the resort was named Vietnam’s Leading Honeymoon & Wedding Resort.
Here, mountains and sea are not just the view from the balcony; they are the shape of every day.
