What could possibly be better after three days of exploring the magical temples of Angkor than hitting the beach in Vietnam, which is on the doorstep of the beautiful UNESO heritage town of Hoi An. This Siem Reap & Vietnam Beach Break is best enjoyed from February to August – if you prefer to travel between November to February we will swap the beach holiday in Da Nang for the beach on the island of Phu Quoc, where the weather is better at this time of year.
You will be met by your private chauffeur at Siem Reap Airport and taken to The Mulberry, one of our favourite boutique hotels in the town of Siem Reap, where you can relax after your long flight. Enjoy your afternoon at leisure, beginning with a complimentary massage at the hotel. Take a look at our exclusive Fleewinter guide for restaurant tips tonight. (Balcony Suite, B&B).
This morning your private guide will meet you to show you some of our favourite temples of Angkor; visit the South Gate of Angkor Thom where you can take an (optional) 1km walk along a wall to a hidden temple before visiting the temples of Bayon, Baphoun and Terrace of Elephants and The Leper King. Enjoy the afternoon at leisure but this evening watch the sunset with bottle of sparkling wine from Lake Srah Srang.
This morning you have the opportunity to rise early to see sunrise over the largest temple in the whole complex; Angkor Wat. After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, you will visit the temple of Ta Prohm, which boasts atmospheric dark towers and courtyards, and is best known at the Tomb Raider film set. Finish your day with a visit to Preach Khan, a labyrinth of stone courtyards that are being reclaimed by the jungle before exploring Near Poan Temple.
On day 4 take a short flight to Da Nang in central Vietnam where you will spend six nights on the beach. It is a stone throw away from the UNESCO heritage town of Hoi An, home to some of the best shops, architecture and restaurants in Vietnam. The Naman, is about 30 minutes from the town and has a shuttle bus so you can spend your days on the beach or in the town as you please (Babylon Room).
Your private driver and guide will meet you at the hotel to take you to Da Nang Airport to catch your onward flight home. We have not included any flights for you today but can book a flight to Hanoi or Saigon for you no problem – you can also fly direct to Hong Kong from Da Nang, which is another option for the journey home to Europe. Safe travels!
