Highlights in Vietnam
VIETNAM’S BEACHES
Year-Round Surf, Sun, and Sand
As Vietnam boasts some 2,000 miles of coastline and three different microclimates , there is an opportunity to find beautiful white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and endless days of sunshine whatever time of year you travel. Despite their beauty and the availability of high-luxury resorts on offer, Vietnam beach stays are surprisingly overlooked. This means that there are less crowds and more availability at the best resorts but also means that whatever area & tour of Vietnam you choose, you can incorporate in a beach stay with ease.
Hanoi
The Enchanting Capital
Hanoi effortlessly combines tradition with modernity. Steeped in rich history, Hanoi is a treasure trove of ancient temples, colonial french architecture, and bustling markets. Take a stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Quarter, where time seems to stand still. Within these fascinating streets, indulging in the street food is a rite of passage – savour the exquisite flavours of a delicious pho, divine banh cuon or banh mi. After, wash it down with a cup of traditional iced coffee or exquisite ice cream. Be sure to interact with the young artists and creators making magic and then perhaps round off the day in one of the many sleek cocktail spots.
MEKONG RIVER
The Mighty Mekong
The over 2700 mile long Mekong River flows from China to Vietnam, passing through Thailand, Laos and Cambodia before flowing out to the South China Sea. The Mekong Delta is rightly called the rice bowl of Vietnam, as it is on these fertile lands that the Vietnamese people grow half their nation’s agricultural product. The delta is a hub for authentic Vietnamese culture and a major transportation route for villagers living in and around the Delta. From floating markets selling fish, coconut candy, tropical fruit, vegetables and flowers to bee farms that line the river, the Mekong throbs from before sunrise to after dark with vital economic activity.
Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay
A Natural Wonder
No visit to Vietnam is complete without experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Ha Long & Lan Ha Bay. Located in the Gulf of Tonkin, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true natural wonder. Marvel at sea eagles skimming the waves, the thousands of limestone karsts and islets that rise from the emerald green waters, which come together to create a surreal landscape that you thought you would only see in a film. Set sail on a traditional ‘junk’ boat and explore hidden caves, pristine beaches, and floating villages.
SAPA
Simply Breathtaking
Sapa, nestled in the embrace of Vietnam’s northern highlands, is a symphony of nature and culture, weaving tradition with breathtaking landscapes. This enchanting town, flanked by the majestic Hoang Lien Son mountains and swirling terraced rice fields, offers a fusion of beauty and heritage. Wander through its vibrant ethnic markets, a mosaic of colour and craft, and trek the verdant paths to remote villages, where the warmth of the locals will warm your soul. Fansipan – known as the “Roof of Indochina” – beckons. Reaching its summit, accessible now more than ever thanks to the Muong Hoa Mountain train and Fansipan cable car, offers a view so majestic, so sweeping that it’s like touching the sky, a moment where time stands still amidst the clouds.
Hoi An
A Glimpse into Ancient Vietnam
Step back in time as you visit the enchanting town of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its well-preserved architecture and ancient charm. Wander through the narrow streets lined with colourful lanterns, traditional wooden houses, and quaint shops selling handmade crafts. Explore the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, a symbol of Hoi An’s multicultural history. Don’t forget to indulge in some tailor-made clothing or sample local delicacies at one of the many street food stalls. Hoi An exudes an old-world charm that will transport you to a bygone era. Better still, you can easily access stunning beach resorts within only a few miles of the ancient city so it creates a perfect duo of culture and beach relaxation within easy reach of each other.
Ho Chi Minh City
Fascinating & High-Energy
Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling metropolis that pulsates with energy. This dynamic city offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and urban development. Explore the historic landmarks such as the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum, which provide a glimpse into Vietnam’s tumultuous past. Take a ride on the back of a moped to the city’s best street food spots or take a leisurely sunset stroll along the beautiful Saigon River. As night falls, immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant nightlife scene, where rooftop bars and trendy restaurants come alive.
