Within 35 hectares of tropical gardens set on the pristine shoreline of Ha My beach, sixty one-bedroom villas and forty pool villas make up this exclusive and palatial hotel. As well as a place for indulgent relaxation, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai is also well located for exploring the charming 15th century town of Hoi An that sits a few short miles away. While away your days here next to one of three expansive infinity pools or take a dip in the tranquil Gulf of Tonkin. Then, rejuvenate with an Oriental ritual therapy treatment before dining at one of the three varied and excellent restaurants. The Beach restaurant is particularly recommended in the evening to sample the day’s freshest catch. If you are after something extra special, the pool villas come with their own private butler. From romantic candle-lit dinners on the beach, to Hoi An’s finest tailors custom fitting your formal attire, to private Vietnamese cooking classes, your butler will ensure you experience every touch of sophisticated decadence during your stay. Hoi An and its UNESCO World Heritage Site old town are minutes away and a delight to explore the pretty streets steeped in history and culture. Those in search of gifts and souvenirs can shop quality silk, jade, pearls and quality linen from the riverside stores.

Little under a kilometre from the Imperial City of Hue, along the banks of the Perfume River, Ancient Hue Garden Houses is located in the historic village of Kim Long. This well-preserved village is a former residential area of the high mandarins and members of the royal family. Nestled among the green trees, the Ancient Hue Garden Houses are a unique relic of the Mandarin lifestyle that can only be found in Hue. There are five luxuriously appointed private houses – with either one or two bedrooms – bordering the landscaped garden around the pool. The decor features wood carvings, feudal architecture and traditional folk colours, designed to blend harmoniously with the surroundings. Built according to feng shui principles, each elegant room contains historic artefacts, paintings and private terraces looking out onto the lush garden. For those wishing to dine in style, the in-house restaurant, Kim Long, offers a unique fine dining experience. Taste local Vietnamese delicacies with both Asian and European flavours, designed to emulate a modern-day version of the royal feasts enjoyed by Vietnamese nobles. The in-house spa also offers the ultimate pampering experience while the outdoor pool is the perfect place to wind down.

Cruising the cross-border Mekong River, Aqua Expeditions’ new boat has all the luxurious facilities required to ferry passengers through Cambodia and Vietnam in style. Guests can watch the world go by from the outdoor deck, which has a plunge pool and an indoor section for those sudden afternoon downpours! The suites are all air-conditioned and have California king beds, flat screen TVs, and sitting areas. Some suites have balconies with daybeds and panoramic windows; the suites without balconies have daybeds inside and panoramic windows, so you still get the great river views. For families, there are four pairs of interconnecting suites. When you’re on board, you can take advantage of the two spa treatment rooms, relax in the library, or chill out in the private cabanas around the plunge pool. The food comes courtesy of Michelin-starred Chef David Thompson, and is a fusion of Khmer and Vietnamese cuisines, centred around the catch-of-the-day and fresh produce from local markets. Excursions depart throughout the day, offering guests the chance to explore the shores of the Mekong with expert English-speaking guides. You can trek through the jungle, hop on a bicycle and cycle down the banks of the river, or visit one of the local villages for a glimpse into life by the water.
