Breakfast was a leisurely affair at Natura, the resort\u2019s all-day dining restaurant. We\u2019d start with a spread of fresh Vietnamese fruits, pastries, and local specialties like <em>pho<\/em> or <em>banh cuon<\/em>, paired with strong Vietnamese coffee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunch can be enjoyed by the pool at Natura, offering refreshing bites and drinks in a laid-back setting. In the evenings, the experience elevated with Hispania, a Spanish restaurant helmed by Michelin-starred chef Marcos Mor\u00e1n. Mor\u00e1n delivers classic Spanish flavours through comforting sizzling rice dishes and expertly grilled Iberian meats. During weekends, Hispania\u2019s Spanish brunch, complete with paella, tapas, and free-flowing sangria, added a festive flair to our stay. Conveniently the Kids Club is located just upstairs, meaning once our daughter had had her fill, we could linger a little longer over our Sangria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resort also offers Shibui, specialising in refined Omakase, Teppanyaki, and Robata Grill. This serene Japanese restaurant embraces the essence of Japanese culinary traditions, serving sushi, sashimi, and grilled dishes in an elegant and minimalist setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"60783\" src=\"http:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Villa-Le-Corail-Gran-Melia-kids-club-2-773x1030.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60783\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"60785\" src=\"http:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Villa-Le-Corail-Gran-Meliakids-club-1-773x1030.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60785\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Kids Club: Where learning meets fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we indulged in the resort\u2019s luxurious offerings, our daughter was completely captivated by the Kids Club. There, she participated in engaging, educational activities focused on marine life and conservation. One of her favourite experiences was the Coral Talk Show, where kids learned about the vibrant coral reefs that surround the area and the sustainability challenges they face. It was a perfect mix of fun and education, and I was delighted to see her so engaged in learning about the delicate ecosystems beneath the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Villa-Le-Corail-Gran-Melia-coral-planting-773x1030.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60786\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The coral discovery experience: A family adventure in conservation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Villa Le Corail is the ultimate destination for relaxation, the natural beauty of Nha Trang beckons exploration.

Guests can take part in hands-on marine conservation activities designed for families, guided by expert biologists, they can experience attaching new coral fragments to a vibrant reef, just off the resort\u2019s shore or at Tri Nguyen Island, which is reachable by a luxury yacht or catamaran &#8211; an eye-opening experience for children with an interest in marine conservation. There is also the opportunity to cruise along the turquoise coastline aboard the resort\u2019s private yacht, soaking in the stunning views.
