Amiana Resort sits on Phạm Văn Đồng street in Nha Trang, and its gates are open to non-guests through a luxury day pass. The resort sells a Pools & Beach ticket at its recreation centre, so you can spend the day by its pools and on its private beach without booking a room. 💎
The key thing is that you don’t need a room here. The resort sells a day pass to outside guests, which gives you a full day at a five‑star property. If you’re planning your own Nha Trang escape, renting a car lets you drive straight to the gates, and a pre-booked airport transfer from Cam Ranh gives you a seamless arrival.
🐠 The Seawater Lagoon Pool
Let’s talk about the water, because it’s the main draw. Amiana sits on a stretch of coast that’s more rocky than sandy, and the resort built around it. Its seawater pool covers 2,500 square metres at a depth of about 1.5 metres and sits among natural rocks beside the beach, so it looks like a Maldives brochure and is far calmer than open sea. The water temperature follows natural weather conditions, and sea conditions beside the beach can vary by day and season.
Next to the beach, the Lagoon pool (600 square metres, 1.0–1.6 metres deep) is kept at 29–30°C, which suits kids and nervous swimmers. The pass includes a sunbed, a pool towel, a shower room and a bottle of Amiana mineral water, and staff serve drinks at the pool bar.
💰 The Day Pass: What You Actually Get
Here’s the breakdown. The resort notes that prices may change without notice, so confirm the current rate at the recreation centre or with the resort before you go:
- Adults: 800,000 VND – includes a sunbed, pool towel, shower room and a bottle of mineral water, with access to the pools and the private beach.
- Children under 12: 500,000 VND – same inclusions.
- Hours: 6:30 AM – 6:30 PM for the pools and the private beach. Arriving early gives you more choice of loungers.
- Payment: Tickets are sold at the recreation centre on site by cash or credit card, and advance reservation is not required. The ticket is not combined with other services.
For a simpler alternative, see the review of Diamond Bay Resort, which has its own day pass covering a pool and a private beach; its price and hours are covered there. Amiana is the more premium option, with a large seawater pool and a more polished atmosphere.
🏊 The Pools and the Beach
Beyond the seawater pool, the resort has several other pools, and the day pass covers its pools and private beach. The resort also has infinity pools with sea views. All pools are open from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
Two more pools are worth knowing: the Lagoon four-seasons pool next to the Lagoon bar, and the Bacaro four-seasons pool (700 square metres) opposite Bacaro Restaurant. Both are kept at 29–30°C all year.
Families also get a dedicated children’s pool (130 square metres, 0.6–1.6 metres deep) opposite Bacaro Restaurant, which makes this a practical choice for a day with kids.
🍽️ Food and Drinks
The resort has Bacaro Restaurant, with beachfront dining on an ocean-facing deck, and a pool bar, so you can eat and drink on site. Menu prices are those of a five‑star property. The day pass terms don’t say whether outside food and drinks are allowed, so ask at the recreation centre before packing a picnic. If you’re staying connected while you relax, a local SIM or eSIM keeps your data flowing at the beach.
🚗 Getting There and Best Tips
- 📍 Address: Amiana Resort, Phạm Văn Đồng, Nha Trang.
- 🚖 Taxi or Grab: From Nha Trang city centre the ride typically takes about 15–20 minutes. Just tell the driver “Amiana Resort” and ask for the day pass at the recreation centre.
- 🚗 By car: If you prefer exploring at your own pace, renting your own car lets you easily reach the resort from anywhere along the coast. The drive from central Nha Trang is straightforward, following the main coastal road north.
Practical tips:
- ✅ Arrive early. The pools open at 6:30 AM, and arriving early gives you more choice of loungers, especially on weekends.
- ✅ Weekdays are usually quieter. Weekends tend to draw more families and local visitors, so crowd levels vary.
- ✅ Bring sunscreen and a hat. The sun reflecting off the water is strong, and the pass provides a towel but not toiletries.
- ✅ Combine it with another resort. If you’re building a Nha Trang resort‑hopping itinerary, start your morning at Hon Tam Island for mud baths and a white‑sand beach, then spend the afternoon at Amiana for the lagoon. The two experiences are completely different, and together they make for an unforgettable day.
- ✅ Plan your evening elsewhere. The day pass ends at 6:30 PM, so order a Grab or taxi back to the city.
