VIETNAM

OVERVIEW

Vietnam is a country of extraordinary beauty and fascinating culture. It serves as the perfect honeymoon destination but also works well for families with its multi-centre itineraries and white-sand beaches. Travellers can’t visit usually without hitting up the staples; Hanoi, the dramatic Halong Bay, the bustling Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City which all combine buzzy cityscapes with beautiful beaches and winding waterways. Vietnam fuses a variety of influences from around the world that makes this country so extraordinary.

Visit in the summer where central Vietnam is at its best with its dry season and blue skies. Cycle along the Mekong Delta’s waterways or book a street food tour through Ho Chi Minh before heading south to Nha Trang to choose from one of the many luxury hotels on offer. Here, you can spend your days snorkelling or diving or sailing off on a romantic sunset cruise on a traditional wooden boat.

In Vietnam, every street tells a story, every alleyway a mystery waiting to be explored

CAPELLA HANOI

Just mere steps from the iconic Hanoi Opera House, Capella Hanoi draws inspiration throughout from its cultural neighbour. You’ll find 47 suites dedicated to actors and singers and a Great Gatsby, overly-ornate feel designed by world-famous designer Bill Bensley. There’s an incredible rooftop restaurant and subterranean dining room along with the rather theatrical Diva’s Lounge for cocktails where you can be serenaded of an evening. There’s even an all-season pool, complete with chandeliers and Auriga spa.

NHA TRANG

SIX SENSES NINH VAN BAY

Hotels don’t get better than this. Situated in a crescent shaped bay, accessible only by boat, this 62-villa property boasts a Six Senses Spa, gym, Kids Club. Of course all the villas come with their own pool but there is also a central (rather peaceful) main pool if you wish to have a change of scenery. Visit local waterfalls, hike to nearby hidden coves or have a tour of their organic garden and learn where your next meal is coming from.
