Alma Resort in Vietnam Among World’s Best Hotels

Vietnam’s Alma Resort has been named one of the top 500 hotels worldwide in Travel + Leisure’s prestigious T+L 500 list for 2025, a significant accolade that highlights the resort’s exceptional quality, luxury, service, and amenities.

The T+L 500 list is derived from the results of the 2024 World’s Best Awards, an esteemed reader’s choice survey renowned for its influence in the global hospitality industry. Released on 23 April 2025, the list is categorised into eight geographic regions, including Asia, where Alma has earned a place of honour.

A Southeast Asian Gem

Alma Resort, located on the Cam Ranh Peninsula in southern Vietnam, has garnered admiration for its incredible offerings. Recognised as the top resort in Southeast Asia, No. 2 in Asia, and No. 9 worldwide in the 2024 World’s Best Awards, Alma scored an impressive 99.2 on the awards’ 100-point survey.

“A 30-hectare stunner,” the resort boasts 12 swimming pools, a water park with a lazy river, and unique family-friendly attractions like a science museum and a cinema. Grown-ups can indulge in a spacious spa and dine at 14 restaurants and bars, including a beachfront seafood venue, Atlantis, and a fine-dining Italian restaurant. Beautiful accommodations, some featuring private pools, and what one reader described as “phenomenal” service, make Alma Resort a perfect destination for an unforgettable beach holiday.

Recognition and Gratitude

Alma Resort’s managing director, Herbert Laubichler-Pichler, expressed deep gratitude for the recognition:
“It is such an honour for an independently owned and operated Vietnamese resort to be named among the world’s top 500 by Travel + Leisure. This incredible achievement motivates our team to offer our guests the ultimate bucket-list getaway in Vietnam.”

Alma’s achievements extend beyond this global accolade. In 2024, Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau named Laubichler-Pichler “Vietnam’s Best General Manager”, while Alma’s pools were voted among the top five in Vietnam by readers in the “Best Hotel Pools” category.

An Inspiring Example in Hospitality

With its remarkable facilities and world-class service, Alma Resort’s recognition solidifies Vietnam’s position on the map of luxury travel destinations. As a favourite among travellers seeking quality and exclusivity, Alma sets the standard for independently owned resorts worldwide.

Whether it’s relaxing by one of its 12 pools or indulging in gourmet dining while soaking in breathtaking views, Alma Resort invites guests to experience a slice of paradise. ✨🏖️
