Hanoi Luxury travel VietnamFishing in Northern Vietnam

Northern Vietnam stretches like a dragon across the South China Sea with dramatic beauty. While Hanoi’s streets buzz with energy as motorbikes weave past colonial landmarks, Halong Bay's limestone karsts tower over emerald waters. In the highlands, terraced rice fields cascade down mountainsides.

Hoi An VietnamTry the best Beef Pho during a luxury travel holiday to Vietnam

In the south, Ho Chi Minh City hums with luxury boutiques neighbouring French colonial buildings, as history comes to life at the Cu Chi Tunnels. Our advisors recommend a Mekong Delta luxury river cruise, a vintage Vespa food tour, or sail by sampan to meet artisans keeping centuries-old traditions alive.

  • “When arranging my clients’ Vietnam itineraries, I always recommend staying several days in Hoi An. This mesmerising city, which blends Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese influences, is one of the prettiest places in Vietnam, with the Thu Bon River meandering through. Explore the markets, the lantern-lit streets, the Japanese Bridge and the shophouses, and always take your favourite suit or dress to have a copy made in various fabrics at one of the talented tailors in town.”
