For the more adventurous traveler that wants to take a trip off the beaten path, Vietnam is one of the greatest places that you can travel to. The country is extremely beautiful, it’s far away, then people are fairly friendly, it’s affordable, and it’s very exotic. The influx of tourism to Vietnam and South East Asia have brought many high-end luxury resorts and hotels to this region. Vietnam has a host of truly incredible resorts that are located on some of the most beautiful beaches in the entire world. So which ones should you be visiting? Let’s take a look at three luxury resorts that are must stays in Vietnam.

3. Six Senses Ninh Van Bay – Nha Trang
Six Senses is a fairly large brand that operates resorts and spas throughout the world, however most are located in the East. Despite being a “chain” the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay report is absolutely sublime and everything you’d expect a resort in Vietnam to be. It is located in south central Vietnam right on the beautiful Ninh Van Bay. Standing on the beach you will look out over the East Vietnam Sea with the jungle-covered mountains toward your back. This five-star resort is fairly remote, luxurious, private, and family-friendly which makes it an easy choice when looking at hotels to visit. All of the structures have been designed with traditional Vietnamese elements in mind. Accommodations here are exclusively in the form of 58 private villas that range in size and all have their own pool. Six Senses Ninh Van Bay also has all the luxuries one would expect like a beautiful spa, a few pools, beach access, a fitness center, a yoga pavilion, and more. Sign up with the staff to participate in some of their activities and you’ll be doing everything from hiking the nearby mountains to scuba diving in the local coral reef. Six Senses has all the qualities you’d want in a high-end resort located on a beach on Vietnam. It will be pricer than other resorts, but once you factor in what they can offer and their 4.5 out of 5 star TripAdvisor rating, you have to stay at the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay.

2. Fusion Maia Da Nang – Da Nang
According to their website, Fusion Maia Da Nang is a “resort that dedicates itself to the art of relaxation”. Take a look at some of their pictures, and you will soon recognize that they are right about that notion. The Fusion Maia Da Nang is located in Central Vietnam and it is a resort that places a great amount of emphasis on design and attention to detail. From the various villas found throughout the property to the way the gardens have been placed around the pools, you can just tell that everything has been carefully thought out. The resort feels like a five-star boutique property that just has more amenities and features. Accommodations here are only in the form of 87 private villas that all boast their own pools and private gardens. The villas themselves are set within a lush tropical garden that reminds you of where you are in all the best ways. Obviously they have a few restaurants, a beautiful spa, and all of that good stuff. On top of everything else not only is the Fusion Maia Da Nang located right on My Khe Beach, nearby are two golf courses and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

1. The Nam Hai – Hoi An
Boasting a 5 out of 5 star rating on TripAdvisor, The Nam Hai is one of the best hotels according to that travel website. The resort is located on the beach in the city of Hoi An, a costal city in the central region of the country that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city itself will transport you into another world, as it is home to ancient buildings, ruins and tombs, some of which date back to the 15th century. The Nam Hai wanted to draw influence from this magical city, so they designed the hotel to invoke a sense of awe. Every structure here just screams opulence and the Nam Hai very much feels like the high-end resort that you’ve been dreaming of. Accommodations here are again in the form of 100 private villas that are located throughout the hotel’s property (which is 86-acres of tropical gardens and forests). You’ll feel absolutely lost in the world that the Nam Hai creates, and you’ll want to stay within that world. Throw in a few restaurants, a bar, an attentive staff, a massive spa, a few pools, a gym, and a range of activities, and you will quickly want to book a trip to the Nam Hai Hotel.
