Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas is the flagship luxury brand of Minor Hotels. The brand was founded in Thailand in 2001 with its first resort in Hua Hin, and has since expanded to beaches and private islands, countryside retreats, desert sands, heritage wonders and cosmopolitan cities across Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Anantara’s philosophy is built around “unforgettable journeys” — thoughtfully designed luxury hotels and resorts that provide windows into the genuine modern character of each destination. Guests engage with the places, people and stories that make a destination unique, through personal experiences curated by the brand. In Indochina, Anantara operates in Vietnam (Hoi An, Mui Ne, Quy Nhon) and Cambodia (Siem Reap), with the Anantara Spa at Avani+ Luang Prabang in Laos.
We include Anantara as a verified luxury brand because of its strong presence in Indochina and its reputation for experiential travel, design and spa and wellness. Whether you want a riverside suite in Hoi An or a private villa in Quy Nhon, Anantara operates a property that fits.
Anantara operates three resorts in Vietnam, one in Cambodia, and a spa in Laos. Each is designed with local character and a strong sense of place.
A riverside resort on the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, with French colonial character and Asian influences. The resort recently added new Thu Bon River Suites and renovated its pool area. Named Best Upcountry Hotel in the 2025 Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific.
A 25-villa private beachfront resort on Vietnam’s south-central coast. All villas feature private infinity pools, ocean views and dedicated villa hosts. Ranked among the best resorts in Asia in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.
A beachfront resort in Mui Ne, a coastal destination known for its dunes and beaches. The resort offers a quieter, more intimate Anantara experience on Vietnam’s south-central coast, with spa, pool and easy access to the town.
A luxury all-suite resort in Siem Reap, close to the Angkor Archaeological Park. The resort offers spacious Khmer-inspired suites, a spa and easy access to the temples. Ranked among Cambodia’s top city hotels in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards.
The Anantara Spa at Avani+ Luang Prabang offers the brand’s signature wellness treatments in the UNESCO Old Town. It was recognised among the best hotel spas in Laos in the 2025 Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific.
Spa and wellness is a standout category for Anantara, with multiple accolades across Asia. The brand’s spas are known for their holistic approach, combining traditional techniques with modern treatments and a strong sense of place.
Anantara’s presence in Indochina is concentrated in Vietnam and Cambodia, with a spa in Laos. Each destination offers a different side of the brand.
Anantara Hoi An Resort on the Thu Bon River, Anantara Quy Nhon Villas on the south-central coast, and Anantara Mui Ne Resort on the beach. Three very different properties, all with the brand’s signature focus on design, spa and local character.
Anantara Angkor Resort is a luxury all-suite resort in Siem Reap, close to the Angkor Archaeological Park. The resort is ranked among Cambodia’s top city hotels and offers easy access to the temples.
While Anantara does not yet operate a hotel in Laos, the Anantara Spa at Avani+ Luang Prabang brings the brand’s wellness offering to the UNESCO Old Town. It was recognised among the best hotel spas in Laos in 2025.
Anantara’s growth from a single resort in Hua Hin to a global luxury brand reflects the strength of its “unforgettable journeys” positioning. The brand’s focus on experiential travel — connecting guests to the places, people and stories of each destination — has resonated with travellers seeking more than just a room.
In Indochina, Anantara’s properties are distinguished by their sense of place. Anantara Hoi An Resort captures the riverside charm of Hoi An, Anantara Quy Nhon Villas offers private beachfront luxury, Anantara Mui Ne Resort provides a quieter coastal escape, and Anantara Angkor Resort places guests close to the temples of Angkor. The brand’s spa and wellness offering is a consistent strength, recognised in awards across the region. For travellers planning a journey through Indochina, Anantara offers a way to experience each destination through a distinctively local, luxury lens.
