The luxury resort “Poshanu” is built on a huge slab of stone adjacent to the most beautiful spot of Mui Ne beach. With a vision of “bringing Cham culture to the sea”, the resort was designed as a modern Cham village consisting of 26 luxury rooms of Cham styles. The room interiors are equipped with modern standard of 4-star hotels. Its open design architecture gives visitors an ultimate sense of closeness to nature.
