Meliá Serenity Cam Ranh Beach Resort is Meliá Hotels International's new all-inclusive beachfront resort on Bai Dai Beach, a roughly 10-kilometre stretch of south-central Vietnamese coastline between Cam Ranh and Nha Trang. Official opening coverage confirms the resort opened on 1 October 2026. The property sits about 10 minutes from Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR), which makes it one of the more transfer-friendly large resorts on this coast. Official branding uses Meliá Serenity Cam Ranh Beach Resort; ASCII Melia Serenity Cam Ranh is common in booking UIs.
Scale is large by Vietnamese beach-resort standards. The master plan calls for 802 contemporary rooms, suites, pool villas, and pavilions. Phase one opened with 265 accommodations available, including beachside Pavilions with open-plan living areas and three-, four-, and five-bedroom Pool Villas with private pools. Guest-room inventory also spreads across three ocean-themed towers marketed as Mare, Vela, and Navi, with mountain-facing and ocean-facing categories. Treat later-phase room counts as planned inventory until Meliá publishes a full handover update.
The stay is marketed as all-inclusive. Official dining copy for the opening phase lists eight restaurants and bars: Mosaico (all-day Vietnamese, Asian, and Western), Cape Nao (Spanish and Mediterranean), Canalla (Mexican tacos and tequila), Breeza (flame-grilled meats and seafood), Elyxr (coffee and pastries), Gaia (poolside drinks), Dolcelato (homemade ice cream), and rooftop Hanryu (Korean-inspired food and cocktails). The all-inclusive plan covers dining and selected beverages across restaurants and bars, a welcome minibar, and discounts on selected seasonal promotions. Confirm premium bottles, in-room dining rules, and any The Level upsells on the live rate before treating every outlet as unlimited.
Family and leisure facilities are a core part of the pitch. Official opening materials highlight a 1,194 sqm lagoon-style family pool, a 990 sqm crescent-shaped infinity pool on the beach, KIDSDOM and a TEENS CLUB for guests up to 17, and a boat-themed Watersplash Pool. Daytime programming listed at opening includes yoga, cardio boxing, and pétanque; evenings lean outdoor cinema, live music, and DJ chill sessions. Active guests also get tennis and pickleball courts plus a fitness centre. Couples and adult guests can use The Level adults-only pool, YHI Spa treatment cabins, and design-led one-bedroom Pavilions with private pools.
Pet-friendly stays are unusually explicit for a five-star Vietnamese all-inclusive. Under Pet-Friendly by Meliá, official copy includes a welcome pack, pet beds, feeding bowls, treats and toys, plus a dedicated beachfront pet area for dogs and cats. The Level is the elevated sanctuary product: dedicated check-in and check-out, The Level Lounge with complimentary refreshments and afternoon cocktails, and The Level Pool. Honest planning notes: phase-one inventory is a fraction of the 802-key plan, outlet counts and hours will evolve as later towers open, and Cam Ranh / Nha Trang day trips are the obvious off-property add-ons rather than a self-contained city-resort base. Guests who want a brand-new Meliá all-inclusive near CXR with family scale, pet policy clarity, and Spanish-group F&B variety are the clear fit.
