Luxury vacation in Vietnam
Located in the region of Southeast Asia, once known as French Indochina, Vietnam has become a hot tourist hotspot in recent years. Originally opened to the backpacker market in the early 1990s, it became popular with travelers seeking adventure without the fancy frills. However, since the turn of the century, Vietnam has slowly added more and more luxury hotels and is now one of the top luxury destinations in the region.
Since 2012, Vietnam has become the go-to destination for those looking for a luxury vacation in Southeast Asia. The country has seen significant development with an influx of luxury hotels opening both in major cities and on picturesque beaches.
The city of Danang, located just north of the popular UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Hoi An, now boasts a host of luxury resorts along its stunning stretch of beach, including the Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsular Resort, Banyan Tree Lang Co and Fusion Maya. Resort Danang, which has a unique concept of offering all-inclusive spa packages, the perfect indulgent experience.
The idyllic island of Phu Quoc, located off the southern coast of Vietnam, with the exception of La Veranda, has only catered to the mid-range market. However, that was until The Shells recently opened its doors (April 2014) and offers luxurious rooms and suites, excellent facilities and all-inclusive spa treatments. Located a bit outside of the city, the resort is perfect for those seeking pure relaxation with high-quality service and luxurious surroundings.
