Luxury Vacations in Vietnam

Vietnam is one of South-east Asia’s most fascinating countries. Its history, from Chinese rule to French colonialism and the dark days of the war with America, is sobering and instructive.

Yet the Vietnamese are forward-looking and dynamic, and their nation is undergoing a creative renaissance – manifested in chic contemporary design, smart hideaway hotels and a wealth of options for food-lovers. From Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south, discover highlight after highlight, like the limestone karsts of Halong Bay – one of the travel wonders of the world – and the verdant rice terraces of Mai Chau; Hue, the former imperial capital on the Perfume River, and the UNESCO-listed town of Hoi An, set between paddy fields and white-sand beaches; and finally, the vibrant floating markets of the Mekong Delta.
