The Complete Guide to Luxury Vietnam Travel
Vietnam offers extraordinary value for luxury travelers—world-class hotels and resorts at 30–50% less than equivalent Asian destinations, exceptional cuisine at every price point, extraordinary natural and cultural landscapes, and a warmth and hospitality that is genuinely remarkable. A luxury Vietnam itinerary typically runs north to south: Hanoi and Halong Bay, then Hue and Hoi An, ending in Ho Chi Minh City with a Mekong Delta excursion.
Halong Bay remains one of Asia's most iconic natural destinations: 1,600 limestone karst islands rising from an emerald bay, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Luxury cruise operators like Indochine Cruise, Stellar Cruise, and Ambassador Cruise offer boutique vessels with 10–20 private cabins, gourmet Vietnamese cuisine, kayaking through limestone cave systems, sunrise tai chi on deck, and private bay anchorages away from the tour boat crowds. A 2–3 night cruise aboard a luxury vessel costs $300–$700 per person per night all-inclusive.
Central Vietnam's Hoi An and Danang area is the luxury accommodation epicenter. Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, one of Asia's finest resorts, features 100 villa-style pavilions with private pools set among rice paddies and steps from a private beach. Rates start at $600–$1,500/night. InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, designed by Bill Bensley and accessed by funicular railway down a clifftop, offers dramatic architecture and sea views. Amanoi, three hours south of Danang in Ninh Thuan province, is Aman's most dramatically designed Vietnam property with pavilion villas on a rocky bay at $1,000–$2,500/night.
Vietnamese cuisine is among Asia's most complex and regionally varied. In Hanoi, a private cooking class in a traditional kitchen covering pho, banh mi, and bun cha costs $100–$200 per person. In Hoi An, market tours followed by cooking classes at Mango Mango or Morning Glory Cooking School cost $80–$150 per person. Private dining experiences—a lantern-lit table in an ancient merchant house, a private dinner cruise on the Thu Bon River, or a beach barbecue at your resort—cost $200–$500 per person and create the most memorable meals of any Vietnam trip.
