The newest beach resort in Phan Rang, Vietnam, is not to be missed.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The just-planted palm trees were already bowing over as 30 knots of wind swept over My Hoa. A few kites were already flying out past the reef, where 2 meter waves were barreling in towards the sheltered lagoon. Back on land, I settled in to have a natter with Ty Dawson, one of the managers at Sorrento Beach Club, Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorrento is the latest addition to the Phan Rang kitesurfing<\/a> scene- offering not only kiteboarding club facilities, but also an intimate resort with 12 chalets, restaurant and bar services, and a chilled social setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were happy to get involved\u201d says Ty, \u201cFor the last few years we\u2019ve been trying to get everyone up here, because we\u2019ve always believed in Phan Rang and its potential. That\u2019s really why we ended up at Sorrento\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

Things to know about Sorrento Beach Club, Vietnam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For all intents and purposes, the Sorrento of southern Italy is pretty unlike Phan Rang (less pasta, more goats) but the beach club\u2019s quirky Mediterranean style could easily trick you into thinking you\u2019ve been transported out of rural Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe place is inspired by a little bit of everything and everywhere they [owners Kim and Andrew] have been\u201d said Ty, \u201cbut… \u2018sorento\u2019 with one R means \u2018a person of great awesomeness\u2019. Seriously, look it up\u201d he grins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorrento Beach Club, Vietnam, is so far made up of 12 private chalets, a swimming pool, a kiteboarding center, and an enormous open-air restaurant with a fully equipped kitchen and floor-to-ceiling bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s just the beginning, according to Ty:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe place is 7,000 square meters now, but it\u2019s going to be 10 soon enough. We\u2019re building more chalets, too\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking around at the sprawling gardens, it\u2019s hard to imagine the manpower (and vision) it must\u2019ve taken to transform it from a dusty patch of land to the tropical oasis that it is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psst: if you want to check prices AND see even more pictures of Sorrento Beach Club- including inside the gorgeous rooms of the chalet- check out their listing on booking.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Social responsibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The buildings at Sorrento Beach Club have been constructed in part with locally sourced recycled materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you order a drink at the bar you can be pretty sure it\u2019ll be served with a bamboo straw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam\u2019s mangrove restoration program coordinators have even selected the beachfront outside of Sorrento as nursery grounds for a new plantation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere used to be huge mangrove plantations all around here,\u201d says Ty, \u201cbut everything got wiped out a while back. Now the project is to rehabilitate and replant new seeds. We\u2019ve got 30 square meters of new mangroves out front now\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you stay at Sorrento Beach Club, Vietnam?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a resort in Phan Rang, know that Sorrento Beach Club is an absolute haven for travellers who value a mix of comfort, quirkiness, good food, and time in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiteboarders can opt to stay on-site in one of the beachfront bungalows that directly overlook the kitesurfing lagoon. There\u2019s tons of space on the grassy lawn to pump up and pack down your kites too, which makes for a welcome alternative to the coral strewn beach outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kite center is stocked with brand new DSD kites- a brand which may be unfamiliar to those who haven\u2019t spent much time kitesurfing in the Philippines (DSD hails from Kingfisher, where strong wind comes as standard). \u201cDSD is set up for the full-on Phan Rang conditions. The Cabrinhas fell apart on us last season!\u201d says Ty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since the wind blows practically round the clock during the season in Phan Rang, staying right here on the outskirts of the lagoon means that kiters can truly maximise their session time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you don\u2019t have to be a kitesurfer to enjoy the chilled beach vibes here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For families and groups of friends, Sorrento Beach Club serves as the perfect base for those hoping to score a relaxed, offbeat holiday in a unique destination. Close to mountains and sea, it makes for a real home-away-from-home while you get out there and explore your natural surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Plus, with the club\u2019s communal atmosphere, open gardens, and not to mention the energetic pair of puppies zipping around, it\u2019s the sort of place kids will enjoy just as much as their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the future looking like in Phan Rang, Vietnam?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Between all of the beach clubs that now call My Hoa Lagoon their home- Sorrento included- there\u2019s almost 60 rooms up for grabs for kiteboarders and travellers heading this way, \u201cbut that could easily double in the next few years\u201d Ty reckons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
