Duyen Ha Resort Cam Ranh 5★ — a full hotel review for 2026
Duyen Ha Resort Cam Ranh is a five-star resort on Cam Ranh Bay, ten minutes from the airport. Over 600 rooms and villas, private pool villas, its own beach, six restaurants and bars. Here are the rooms, the beach, the food, who it suits, real prices from about $63, and how it stacks up against the other Cam Ranh resorts.
Duyen Ha Resort Cam Ranh is a five-star resort on Cam Ranh Bay, ten minutes from the airport. The 21-storey sail-shaped tower is visible from far off — a landmark on the Bai Dai coastline. The grounds run to 17.5 hectares: over 600 rooms, suites and villas, a private beach, six restaurants and bars.
It works well for families, couples and anyone after a quiet beach stay away from city noise. Central Nha Trang is about 35 km away, so if nightlife and city life matter, look at Nha Trang instead.
Below: room types, real prices, guest reviews and how it compares with the other Cam Ranh hotels.
Location and how to get there
Address: Lot D9B, Area 3, Cam Hai Dong, Cam Lam District, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam — as listed on the hotel site, using the pre-2025 divisions
Coordinates: 12.053487°N, 109.199953°E
Duyen Ha Resort sits on the peninsula between Cam Ranh airport and Nha Trang, on the Bai Dai coast — one of the best beach stretches in Khanh Hoa province.
| Destination | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Cam Ranh Airport (CXR) | 5–7 km | 10–15 min |
| Central Nha Trang | 30–35 km | ~40 min |
Airport transfer
| Option | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel transfer (Vito, 7 seats) | 300,000 VND (~$12) per car one way, 550,000 VND (~$21) return | Book ahead through the hotel |
| Taxi / Grab | 150,000–200,000 VND (~$6–8) | ~16 min, no booking needed |
Grab works well at Cam Ranh airport and shows the fare up front, so you don't haggle. If you land late, the taxi rank outside arrivals is fine too.
Free shuttle to Nha Trang
A free resort bus runs to central Nha Trang:

Rooms and villas
Duyen Ha Resort splits its rooms across three zones: the main 21-storey tower, a low-rise Premium wing and the villas.
Main building (21 floors)
| Category | Features | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Room | Garden or ocean view, standard room | Couples, solo travellers |
| Deluxe Sky | High floors, panoramic view | View lovers |
| Deluxe Terrace Ocean | Terrace plus ocean view | A romantic stay |
| Sky Suite Ocean | Suite with a separate living room, ocean view | Couples, business travellers |
| President Sky Suite | Presidential suite | Special occasions |
Every room has air conditioning, a mini-bar, a safe and free Wi-Fi.
Premium wing (low-rise)
148 Premium and Premium Garden rooms in two-storey buildings. A quiet zone off the main flow of guests. A good pick if you want an intimate feel and greenery outside the window.
Villas (1–4 bedrooms)
| Villa type | Bedrooms | Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Garden Villa | 1–4 | Landscaped garden, privacy |
| Pool Villa | 1–4 | Private pool |
The villas are Duyen Ha's trump card. Private pool, separate entrance, plenty of space — a great fit for families and groups.

Beach and pools
Private beach
The Duyen Ha Resort beach is a strip of white sand roughly 250 metres long. Loungers and umbrellas are free. From most rooms it is a couple of minutes on foot, or you can hop a free golf buggy (it runs four times a day).
The water is clean and the entry is gentle — easy for swimming with kids. Reviewers say the beach stays uncrowded even at peak season: the grounds are large and people spread out.
Pools
- 2 large outdoor pools for adults
- A children's pool (shallow, safe)
The pools are scattered across the grounds, so even at full occupancy you can find a free lounger.

Breakfast
Buffet from 06:00 to 10:00, included in the rate. Reviewers rate it one of the best things about the resort: a wide spread of both Vietnamese and Western food, fresh fruit, and cooked-to-order stations (omelettes, pho).
Breakfasts are decent, we certainly never went hungry. … We had lunch and dinner at the resort's restaurants à la carte and at various cafés and restaurants across the road and in town, where the food is more varied and much cheaperVormyasha, irecommend.ru, 2025, translated by VietnamSpot
