From idyllic beaches to vibrant Hanoi, you’ll fall in love with this gem…
The moment you arrive in Vietnam you’ll be swept away by this land of noodle soup, glorious sunsets and silk. A visit to the south-east Asian country is a warm hug for the soul. Follow a few days in the capital Hanoi with time lazing on the beaches of the heart-shaped island of Phu Quoc and you’ll get a perfect balance of culture and indulgence. Plus, direct flights from London to Hanoi with Vietnam Airlines mean you could be basking in 30° temperatures in 11 hours…
The paradise resort
On the beachside in Phu Quoc is Salinda Resort, one of a handful of five-star hotels on this untrammelled island. It’s all about relaxation here, the gardens bursting with myrtle flowers, orchids and mini waterfalls. Nab a sunlounger by the infinity pool – staff are on hand with towels, beers and lunch options including the freshest calamari you’ll ever eat.
