A smattering of spacious, discreet, low-level villas; lush tropical gardens; swaying palm trees, and a curving sandy bay leading into the ocean. These were our first impressions of Mia Resort, formed as we sat and sipped a welcome sugarcane drink. And everything felt so relaxed, from the easy 20-minute drive from Nha Trang airport along a deserted road, to the wonderful laid-back vibe that enveloped us on arrival.
This ultra-stylish retreat is somehow equally suited to families, couples looking for a romantic break and groups of friends who want to kick back and chill out. You'd think the 3 couldn't mix but they do. Perhaps because all the tiny details are taken care of, so all you have to do is just 'be'. Smiley, efficient staff remember your name and bring complimentary fruit and iced water to your beachside lounger; toiletries in your room include aftersun and mosquito repellent. You'll even spot gardeners trimming the edges of the perfectly manicured lawns with scissors so as not to disturb your peace. Spend lazy mornings in the spa, snooze by the infinity pool or go snorkelling in the afternoon, then drink lychee, ginger and lemongrass mojitos as the sun goes down.
