Where to stay in Vietnam
Vietnam now has a number of four and five-star hotels situated along its spectacular beaches and more are in the process of construction allowing completely new areas of the country to be explored.
Vietnamese Beaches
A visit to Vietnam’s coastline is blessed with more than just the astonishing Halong Bay. The beaches along the coastline vary in the different regions of the country, although the majority have pristine white sands.
The area from Hue to Nha Trang in the Central and South Central Coastal regions of Vietnam offers the countries best beaches. Miles of coconut palm-fringed beaches, glistening seawater, dotted with quaint fishing villages.
For a remote experience, the North Central coast offers continuous sandy beaches but the seas can be quite ferocious here so it’s great for walking but not so brilliant for swimming. Halong Bay has plenty of smaller beaches, the majority of them are quite rocky and shallow making them better suited to kayakers than sun worshippers. Vietnam’s beaches, coupled with the culture of the country make a perfect and yet unusual beach holiday destination.

Being from a family with Army connections I can from an early age remember travelling. From camping in Europe and then later being sent to boarding school when we lived in Germany at the age of eight, complete with shorts, long socks, a cap and my suitcase. In appearance not too dissimilar to the children evacuated to the countryside during the blitz.

It was my passion for languages that first encouraged me to leave the UK behind and grab my rucksack. Since then, it’s been a mixture of intriguing cultures, jaw-dropping landscapes and the wonder of seeing animals in their natural habitat that sees me continuously extending my travel wish list.
