Beaches and Islands of Vietnam Holidays

Vietnam, with its long coastline, is home to some of the finest beaches and resorts in Asia. In the centre of the country, the white-sand China Beach stretches from Danang south to the historic trading port of Hoi An and is lined with luxurious beach hotels and has a quiet, relaxed vibe. Further south, the beaches at Nha Trang and Phan Thiet, the latter a morning’s drive from Ho Chi Minh City, are popular choices with beautiful settings and a good range of upmarket hotels. However, the ultimate tropical retreats are the islands that make up Con Dao and Phu Quoc – reached by air from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or the Mekong Delta. Here, the calm crystal-clear waters and soft sandy beaches are ideal for swimming and snorkelling with much of the tiny Con Dao archipelago a pristine national park. Pettitts specialises in providing quality, tailor-made holidays and tours to Vietnam.
