Hanoi, Halong and Sapa , Vietnam
This leading luxury Resort & Spa in North -Vietnam takes architectural inspiration from a traditional mountain chalet - exuding a polished wooden interior, accented wooden décor and welcoming stone hearth fireplace. Situated amongst an abundance of untouched, tropical vegetation, the hotel has been carefully planned to allow guests a unique experience in close harmony with the natural surroundings and local tribe people. The epic scenery of Sapa and its mountainous terrain combines jungle, rural terraces and rich areas where natives harvest their crops. Featuring 77 elegantly adorned guestrooms where views of the beautiful gardens and Mount Fansipan can be enjoyed. Facilities include a tennis court, spa, swimming pool and fitness centre. Sapa Resort & Spa is the perfect choice for travellers who simply want to relax in refined luxury and soak up the unparalleled scenery.
Regional climate differences mean that there is no best time; try September to December to avoid the humidity in the north, December to April to miss the rains in the south and December to March is perfect for trips to the Central highlands. Catch the Trung Thu Moon festival in September or October for traditional lion and dragon dances.
