Offering a brilliant blend of culture, adventure and beauty, Vietnam couple’s holidays promise to pique the interest of every kind of couple. Vietnam’s culture-filled cities hold the secrets of the country’s intriguing and tumultuous past, and visits to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi can include private guided tours that will appeal to any culture vultures. For adventurous couples, sail a junk boat through the otherworldly karst peaks of Halong Bay, discover the world’s most intricate cave systems in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park and hike the lush hills surrounding Bac Ha and Sapa. These energetic pursuits can be followed by some well-earned relaxation, an essential ingredient of our Vietnam couple’s holidays. Enjoy a pampering spa afternoon, a dip in your hotel’s pool and alfresco meals surrounded by tropical plants.
Vietnam is an excellent destination for a couple’s culinary getaway too, with an exciting and flavourful food scene, and each recipe featuring a delicate balance of flavours - hot, sweet, sour, salty and bitter. The complex and dynamic smorgasbord of dishes borrows influences from China, combined with regional ingredients to create a synthesis of special flavours. Sample fragrant pho (Vietnam’s national dish), bursting bánh mìs (Vietnamese baguettes) and sweet che` b?p (rice pudding).
