On the shores of Nha Trang, Hispania brings Michelin guided Spanish gastronomy into a beachfront luxury setting. Rooted in heritage yet expressed with contemporary finesse, it delivers a refined coastal dining experience shaped by master chefs, pristine ingredients and culinary authenticity, earning Highly Recommended Best Spanish Restaurant at the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025.
Set within the beachfront elegance of Gran Meliá Nha Trang, Hispania Nha Trang introduces a new chapter for Spanish fine dining in Vietnam. Opened alongside the resort in 2023 within the dynamic Vega City district, the restaurant pairs panoramic sea views with a culinary philosophy grounded in Spanish tradition and technical rigour. It is the first Hispania outpost in Asia, extending a celebrated gastronomic lineage to Vietnam’s central coast.
The concept originates from Michelin starred chef Marcos Morán, whose family legacy in Asturias has long shaped modern Spanish cuisine. At Hispania Nha Trang, that heritage is translated through a menu that honours regional Spanish cooking while adapting thoughtfully to local terroir. Mediterranean clarity meets Vietnamese coastal freshness, resulting in dishes that feel both authentic and contextually alive.
The kitchen leadership includes Chef Azizskandar Awang and Spanish chef Adrián Mancheño, whose combined expertise ensures precision and consistency across the menu. Spanish gastronomy here is expressed through disciplined technique and ingredient respect: premium seafood, olive oils, cured meats and seasonal produce are handled with restraint, allowing flavour structure and balance to lead. Classic signatures such as refined tapas, rice dishes and seafood driven compositions are presented with contemporary polish rather than theatrical flourish.
The dining room reinforces the experience with understated luxury. Clean architectural lines, ocean facing perspectives and warm material tones create a setting that feels composed and destination worthy. Service is measured, knowledgeable and attentive, supporting the cuisine with quiet confidence.
More than a themed restaurant, Hispania Nha Trang operates as a cultural ambassador of Spanish culinary identity. Each plate reflects a dialogue between region, craft and season, offering guests not only flavour, but narrative.
Recognised as Highly Recommended Best Spanish Restaurant at the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, Hispania Nha Trang stands as one of Vietnam’s most distinguished Spanish dining addresses, where heritage cuisine is delivered with precision, elegance and coastal soul.
