Your Itinerary

Day 1 - Welcome to Siem Reap!

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).

Accommodation

Day 2 - Temple Highlights and Sunset with Sparkling Wine

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.

Day 3 - Sunrise at Angkor Wat & Temple Explring

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.

Days 4 - 10 - Beach time in Vietnam

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).

Hanoi

This vibrant capital of Vietnam has a fascinating display of street life, food and architecture in its charming Old Quarter – let us take you on a walking tour down its winding alleyways, weaving through hundreds of motorbikes and fruit sellers. It's our favourite city and we've found a selection of fabulous boutique hotels. More

Mai Chau & Pu Bin

This glorious rural corner of the country offers a mountainous landscape full of rice paddies, greenery and tribal groups. We love it because it's a bit more off the beaten track than the more popular Sapa area and have even established our very wooden stilt homestay in a local community. This is the place to head for hiking, cycling and just observing a more simple life. More

Sapa

The ultimate mountain retreat in Vietnam - Sapa is a night train away from the capital, Hanoi. Those who venture here are rewarded with the image of colourful tribal groups set against a backdrop of green mountains and terraced rice paddies. Some of the most beautiful scenery of Vietnam is on offer - although the tourist traffic can be high in peak season. More

Halong Bay

The must-see attraction of Vietnam: Hundreds of islets pierce through the waters of an emerald green bay. We have a fabulous selection of one and two-night cruises on offer, which are without a doubt the best way to see this area of outstanding beauty. More

Ninh Binh

A lovely slice of rural life is on offer here. We especially love Ninh Binh during the summer butterfly and rice harvest seasons. Expect gorgeous caves, wooden boat rides and pretty cycle rides. We especially love the Emeralda Resort here. More

Hue

The old imperial capital - this is the place to head for an insight in the ancient kings and dynasties of Vietnam. Set on the banks of the idyllic Perfume River, you can explore magnificent royal tombs of Kings gone by and the old Imperial Palace (that despite suffering in the American war is still well worth a visit). And we have discovered a fabulous selection of hideaway resorts. More

Hoi An

This is the place that has it all; arguably the best architecture, cuisine, shopping (tailors aplenty) and beaches of all of Vietnam. Most who make it here never want to leave - this Unesco World Heritage town is full of fabulous old Japanese merchants homes, French colonial homes and classic Vietnamese styles. Pick up a bike and explore on two wheels. More

Nha Trang

Home to some of our favourite beach resorts in all of Vietnam, Nha Trang offers a little piece of Paradise on the coast of Vietnam. The town itself lacks a little inspiration but if you're looking for sand, sun and luxury then look no further. More

Mui Ne

Sun, surf and sand, oh my! This lovely little fishing-cum-beach town has a plethora of fabulous resorts and boutique hotels. World renowned for kite surfing and waterspouts, Mui Ne is a great beach destination. More

Dalat

A popular weekend getaway for the Vietnamese, Dalat offers a cooler climate in the mountains. Lovely walks along with more adrenalin-fuelled activities like canyoning and mountain biking are on offer here. More

Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)

The mad, modern metropolis of Vietnam is alive with the sound of a thousand motorbikes. Officially named Ho Chi Minh City but affectionately know as Saigon by the locals, this city is fun and fast paced. It's the ideal base from which to explore the infamous tunnels of the Vietnam War where guerrillas and there families lived for many years. More

Mekong Delta

This enormous waterway of canals, streams and rivers is a lifeline for the locals - and people watching is perhaps the best activity of all on the Mekong Delta. Get up early for the floating markets or perhaps watch it lazily with a beer in hand from the sun deck on one of our cruises. More

Phu Quoc Island

Attention all beach lovers! This is the penultimate beach destination in all of Vietnam. Whether you are taken by its serenely calm waters, long sandy beach or cute cottage-like accommodation, Phu Quoc is stealing hearts across the world. We especially love it after sunset when lanterns and candles are lit on tables along the beach. In fact, we can't think of a more perfect setting for a seafood feast, while digging your toes into the sand. More

Con Dao Islands

If the budget can stretch to it, the Con Dao islands offer one of the most luxurious and beautiful beach experiences in Vietnam. Leave the rest of the world behind you when you enter Six Senses Con Dao, which feels like an ultimate private-island getaway. More
