ANANTARA HOI AN RESORT
In lush gardens planted with frangipani and coconut palms, the Anantara hugs the slow-flow Thu Bon River on the fringes of Hoi An’s historic quarter. After exploring the old port town with a hotel guide, take an immersive class in local craft traditions: lantern making, painting and conical hat decoration. Anantara is gold-certified by The Green Growth 2050 Global Standard for excellence in eco and cultural sustainability; it’s free from plastic bottles, drinks come with bamboo straws, and water is supplied by an eco hi-tech system. It also raises money for local children with disabilities through the Kianh Foundation, and matches guest donations to the non-profit dollar for dollar. Journeying further? Take the new Anantara Vietage, a train carriage that’s luxurious in Indochine style, up the coast to emerging beach escape Quy Nhon. Rooms from US$199 [£144] including breakfast, plus 15% taxes; www.anantara.com/en/hoi-an
