Luxury Vacation in Vietnam

Today, familiarize yourself with the city's principal sights from the solemn mausoleum of the national father of modern Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh, followed by an insightful visit to see the humble stilt house where he once lived. Just a short walk away, the One Pillar Pagoda in an elegant lotus pond is a truly unique sight to behold. Enjoy an authentic Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant.

This afternoon, step into the 11th-century Temple of Literature, dedicated to the Chinese philosopher Confucius, which represents Vietnamese ancient architecture and traditional fondness for learning. Before returning to your hotel, hop aboard a traditional cyclo to explore the atmospheric Old Quarter for a fascinating glimpse into local life.

This morning, continue your onward journey on a 2.5-hour road transfer to the UNESCO-recognised Halong Bay.

Bhaya Legend, built in the style of a traditional Vietnamese junk, will take you sailing across the crystal-blue waters amongst towering limestone islands. On this exclusive cruise, you can craft your own route, choose your favorite meals (even including a gourmet BBQ dinner under the starry sky), and explore the bay's lesser-known parts for an experience like no other.

Wake up to the gentle sound of the cruise and embrace an exciting day with dynamic activities as you could want: kayak in hidden lagoons, explore amazing grottoes & islands, and visit floating fishing villages. For relaxation, swim in the cool seawater or just sun yourself on the deck.

Today, kick off with a morning sailing on the Perfume River aboard a traditional dragon boat, until reaching the iconic seven-story Thien Mu Pagoda. Later, travel back in time to Vietnam's royal past as you walk through the walled fortress and palace of the Imperial Citadel. Your knowledgeable local guide will share insightful information about the design planning and Feng Shui elements of the royal quarters. Outside the citadel, soak up the vibrant sounds, intriguing smells, and colorful sights at the bustling Dong Ba Market.

This evening, head out for a home-hosted dinner of traditional Hue specialties at the century-old garden home of Princess Ngoc Son, with chances to meet with a royal descendant and listen to the stories about royal lives.

After breakfast, follow your guide to wander around the historic quarter of Hoi An to fully absorb its old charms. The highlights include wooden Chinese temples, Japanese Covered Bridge, French colonial buildings, and ornate Vietnamese tube houses. You are then free to relax at your hotel or go around by yourself.

At dusk, head out for a unique dining experience on a bamboo raft floating on the Co Co River. Jump aboard a traditional basket boat for a short voyage before getting on your private bamboo raft. In the peaceful surroundings, sit back to enjoy a candlelit dinner featuring local specialty dishes.

Today, a 2-hour scenic drive will bring you deep into the exotic Mekong Delta, a remarkable agricultural area known as "the rice bowl of Vietnam". Cruise through the delta's waterways on the motorboat and rowboat, passing by coconut groves, verdant rice paddies and fruit orchards. You will explore peaceful stilt-house communities for a true insight into the serene lifestyle in rural Vietnam.

After lunch, return to Saigon and spend the rest of today at leisure. You may like to take a refreshing dip in the rooftop pool or indulge in a signature spa treatment.

The next leg of your journey sees you heading into Con Dao, a tiny archipelago off the southern coast of Vietnam. You'll find scenic bays, white sand beaches, coral reefs, and some of the best scuba diving in the region, together with vibrant jungles and unique wildlife.

Six Senses Con Dao, only a few steps away from the beach, houses 50 wood-paneled eco villas to blend into the scenic surroundings. In the following days, relax in the stunning ocean views, sunbathe on the beach, cool down in your private infinity pool, and partake in a wealth of optional excursions to enrich your holiday.
