The Colonial, the fine dining restaurant at The Anam Cam Ranh, has launched an exquisite six-course degustation menu that elevates Vietnamese ingredients with refined French techniques. Crafted by Executive Chef Duy Anh Nguyen, the menu takes diners on a gastronomic journey through a fusion of flavors, textures, and premium ingredients.

Set in an elegant space featuring an open kitchen, a grand piano, and lush courtyard gardens, The Colonial provides a sophisticated ambiance for this new culinary experience. The menu includes a mix of fresh seafood, dry-aged meats, and vibrant local produce, all presented with an artistic flair.

The dining experience begins with an amuse-bouche featuring a giant clam with sausage and daikon jams, complemented by a caramelized miso glaze, herbs, and salmon roe. Accompanying this is a Vietnamese beef tartare with caramelized cashew, fish sauce, crispy garlic, and betel leaf.

A standout entrée follows—salted mackerel with fermented star fruit, sour broth, chrysanthemum, and coriander oil. The first main course features a rich and flavorful 14-day dry-aged duck breast, paired with pumpkin flower, black apple amazake, and a brown butter fermented tofu sauce. A palate cleanser of mango and passion fruit sorbet with oolong tea cordial and yellow raisin refreshes the taste buds before the next dish.

The second main course highlights a grain-fed, 150-day Black Angus tenderloin, served with eggplant puree and beef jus infused with homemade chili and basil. This is accompanied by the fragrant Vietnamese ST25 rice, complemented by corn and green beans.

For dessert, guests can indulge in Tahini ice cream with sesame chips, caramelized hajikami, coconut milk sauce, and a traditional Nha Trang tofu pudding.

To enhance the experience, an optional wine pairing features selections from Australia, France, and Italy, carefully curated to complement each course.

“Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated for its rich and vibrant ingredients, from aromatic herbs to bold spices,” said Chef Duy Anh. “Our menu showcases these elements with a refined French influence, creating a dining experience that is both authentic and innovative.”

A Fusion of Tradition and Luxury

Inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine-era aesthetics, The Colonial is a reflection of European culinary sophistication infused with local flavors. Situated near The Anam Cam Ranh’s open-air lobby, the restaurant serves as a premium breakfast venue and a club lounge for guests in select suites and villas before transforming into a fine dining destination at night.

The Anam Cam Ranh continues to garner global recognition, recently earning a spot on Fodor’s Finest Hotels list for 2025, ranking it among the top 100 hotels worldwide.

Wynn Al Marjan Island, the much-anticipated luxury destination opening in early 2027 in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, has unveiled Enclave, a hyper-exclusive residential experience that reimagines luxury hospitality. Perched atop the resort’s 1,000-foot tower, Enclave offers just 313 meticulously designed rooms, ranging from plush Enclave King Suites to two sprawling Royal Apartments, each a masterstroke by acclaimed designers Anouska Hempel and Pinto Design.

Every detail, from platinum and sea mist tones to dual pantry service and culturally sensitive in-suite amenities, reflects an unmatched level of craftsmanship, privacy, and refinement. Guests arrive through a private verdant drive into an Enclave-only lobby, followed by private elevator access to floors housing no more than 15 suites each, ensuring tranquillity and exclusivity. With a private beach, three pools, and on-demand beach butlers, Enclave transforms leisure into luxury. 

Culinary offerings include an Enclave-exclusive skylit Lebanese restaurant and a chic Lobby Lounge serving artisanal cocktails and petit menus. Wynn’s design ethos “veiling and revealing”  is woven into every touchpoint, with thoughtfully curated art, lush gardens, and a sensory restraint that whispers rather than shouts luxury.

This rarefied atmosphere, rich in storytelling and elegance, is set within the broader Wynn Al Marjan Island development that spans 60 hectares with 1,217 rooms, world-class dining, wellness facilities, designer boutiques, a marina for superyachts, and Coral Court for grand events. With construction on track and the tower spire topping out in 2025, Enclave stands poised to become the crown jewel of ultra-luxury living in the Middle East and beyond.
