The Westin Resort & Spa, Cam Ranh will feature 330 rooms and a range of Westin products and services including the Westin Heavenly Bed, Westin WORKOUT and Heavenly Spa. Other hotel facilities will also include eight food and beverage outlets, a health club, swimming pools, Westin Heavenly Spa, Westin Kid’s Club, business center and a retail shop.

Cam Ranh Bay is a protected inlet off the South China Sea situated between Phan Rang and Nha Trang, approximately 290 kilometers northeast of Ho Chi Minh City. It is well-known for its white sandy beaches and pristine turquoise waters. The site features an extensive beach frontage of 550 meters.
