The Insider's Guide to Perfectly Planning Your Vietnam Honeymoon

Even for those visitors who are not in their marriage stage go for Vietnam as the best far-away tropical heaven in Southeast Asia. However, heat, humidity and long coastlines are not the only factors that direct people’s attention towards this S-shaped country. If your wedding is just over and a Vietnam honeymoon is in your mind, here are what you should scan through in order to pick the best types of traveling that meet your expectation.

Adventure takers

I must admit that every corner of this lengthy country is able to provide its own uniqueness depending on what type of traveler you are. If both of you have been in a lot of adventures together throughout your dating life, here are several suggestions you can try in Vietnam:

Trekking and hiking are newly emerging outdoor activities that seem pretty intriguing to many Vietnamese youngsters. The best place to go hiking is probably Sapa, which is known to make the longest hiking route doable. This is not because the paths aren’t long themselves, but because the climate condition is so perfect that you do not seem to be exhausted. Other highland areas can be considered such as Đà Lạt, the Paris of Vietnam as well as the Northwestern mountain ranges such as Moc Chau Plateau in Son La Province and Dong Van Karst Plateau in Ha Giang Province.

Cave exploration is not a bad idea. Vietnam is phenomenal for a massive system of caves, including the largest cave known on Earth, Sơn Đòong. Throughout the country, Phong Nha – Kẻ Bàng National Park seems like the most sought-after destinations. Its poetic surrounding makes an absolute sense of your romantic time together.

How about adventurous outdoor activities in a dream-like ancient capital? Though making not so much sense when combined, yet it does not mean the idea cannot be done. Reaching out Huế and trying the first Zipline and Highwire in Vietnam at Alba Thanh Tân is definitely a less-touristy option.

There is no such place like Vietnam that you can relax in the fullest way. Relaxation is also a good choice for newly-wed couples as you both may need a serene moment together to fully enjoy this precious stage of life. Listing all of the places in Vietnam may take a lifetime to finish. Hence, here is the finest local advice:

Once again, Dalat comes as a bright candidate. As said, this “Paris of Vietnam” can give you the most charming vibe thanks to its chilled weather throughout the day and sentimental mountain ranges. Every single corner of Dalat will surely make you feel like the little Europa. Hanoi during Autumn will surely make your trip a long-lasting memory. Other than that, taking up to a week around the Mekong Delta, especially in famous ecotourism sites are what smart travelers should go for.

Good news for beach fans, with over 3.200 kilometers of coastline, skipping Vietnam is such a big mistake. The best seashores are found in Central Vietnam and followed by Northern Vietnam. Besides other big stars such as Danang, Nha Trang, and Mũi Né, you can consider lesser-known cities that are Quy Nhơn, Quảng Nam, and Quảng Ngãi. For the Southern side, Phú Quốc and Côn Sơn Island are the most precious gems.

High-end lovers

Spending a good amount of money on such a special occasion like the honeymoon is totally worth it. For instance, contemplating Hạ Long Bay from a helicopter is not just a unique experience, yet it is able to bring you a fancy ambience.

Spending time in luxury spas and resorts with private space are other smart choices you must take into account. Vinpearl Land Nha Trang is my very first candidate on the list.

Phú Quốc, a jewelry of the Southern sea is where you can take your fancy honeymoon to a whole new level with full of high-end activities and services such as skydiving, scuba diving, kayaking and the best of seafood dishes in a five-star restaurant.
