August 2026 — Meliá Hotels International has expanded its presence in Vietnam with the opening of Meliá Aurea Nha Trang on 12 August 2026, adding a new upper-upscale oceanfront property to its portfolio in one of the country’s coastal destinations. The opening forms part of the group’s continued expansion in Vietnam, where Meliá Hotels International currently operates 22 hotels and has five additional properties scheduled to open over the next two to three years.
Located between Turtle Island and Fairy Mountain, Meliá Aurea Nha Trang is positioned approximately 15 minutes from Nha Trang city centre and 48 kilometres from Cam Ranh International Airport. The resort sits beside the group’s sister property, Gran Meliá’s all-villa hideaway Villa Le Corail, creating a presence for Meliá Hotels International within the destination’s oceanfront hospitality landscape.
The 207-room and suite property introduces an upper-upscale accommodation option under the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand. Its location combines access to Nha Trang with an oceanfront setting, while its proximity to attractions including the Hon Mun Marine Protected Area, Po Nagar Tower, Hòn Chồng and Hang Heo beaches places the resort within the wider tourism environment of central Vietnam.
For Meliá Hotels International, the opening adds another operating property to an established Vietnam portfolio while the group continues to develop its pipeline in the market. The five properties planned for opening during the next two to three years will further increase its presence across Vietnam.
Meliá Aurea Nha Trang comprises 207 rooms and suites, with private balconies, modern open-plan interiors and natural light. Most accommodations feature ocean views. The property also offers The Level, Meliá’s enhanced service experience, providing exclusive lounge access, private check-in, concierge attention, afternoon tea, all-day refreshments and premium in-room amenities.
The resort’s accommodation and service structure is complemented by three food and beverage venues. Ciao Chào operates as the signature all-day restaurant, combining Italian culinary traditions with Vietnam’s rice-based cuisine. Its offer includes wood-fired pizza, homemade pasta, Vietnamese seafood and chef trolleys, supported by an open-air terrace. An on-site herb garden and interiors incorporating local craftsmanship are also part of the restaurant’s design.

Boreal occupies the centre of the lobby and operates as a gathering space for coffee, cocktails and conversation throughout the day. Its interior concept draws inspiration from shifting northern lights. O’LULA Pool Club is positioned beside the water and provides coastal dishes and drinks alongside a setting designed around the sea breeze, music and light.
Wellbeing facilities form another component of the property’s operating proposition. Meliá Aurea Nha Trang provides access to the beach, coastal walking paths, swimming and snorkelling opportunities, as well as a fully equipped fitness centre. YHI Spa incorporates the grounding energy of the earth and Champa heritage rituals into its seaside wellness setting.
The resort also includes facilities for families through Kidsdom Club, which features a dedicated children’s pool and outdoor spaces. These facilities sit alongside the broader accommodation, dining and wellness infrastructure developed across the property.
The opening also places Meliá Aurea Nha Trang within an established coastal destination supported by access to both urban and natural attractions. Its location near Nha Trang city centre provides connectivity to the city while maintaining an oceanfront setting between Turtle Island and Fairy Mountain.
Nha Trang’s surrounding attractions include the Hon Mun Marine Protected Area, where visitors can access clear waters, tropical fish and coral areas. The historic Po Nagar Tower, built by the ancient Champa civilisation, is another destination attraction, while Hòn Chồng and Hang Heo beaches provide additional coastal locations.
The property’s opening comes as Meliá Hotels International continues to consolidate its operations in Vietnam. With 22 hotels already in operation and five more properties planned over the next two to three years, the group is continuing to build its presence in the country through additional hospitality developments.
Meliá Aurea Nha Trang is located 48 kilometres from Cam Ranh International Airport and approximately 15 minutes from Nha Trang city centre. The resort operates alongside Gran Meliá’s Villa Le Corail, extending Meliá Hotels International’s presence within the Nha Trang coastal market.
