Planning your summer getaway and not sure where to go? Vietnam is the ideal choice and these are some destinations here that you should visit.
Mui Ne & Phan Thiet

Things to do include kitesurfing at Mui Ne Beach, quad biking at the White Sand Dunes, sand-sledding at the Red Sand Dunes, visiting the ancient Po Shanu Cham Towers and hiking up Ta Cu Mountain.
Hanoi, the Capital
Make time to head to the nation’s capital, Hanoi. Accommodation can easily be found here with properties like Somerset Grand Hanoi near key attractions such as the Old Quarter with its colonial architecture, bustling markets and Buddhist temples.

Ha Long Bay
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ha Long Bay offers both laidback and adventure-filled holidays. Embark on a day or overnight cruise to visit some of its countless limestone islands; swim, snorkel or kayak amidst emerald waters, soak up the sun at pristine beaches and explore attractions such as the Sung Sot Cave and Cat Ba National Park.
Phu Quoc Island
The country’s largest island, Phu Quoc is another favourite amongst summer destinations in Vietnam.
