Vietnam

Victoria resorts offer superb value at choice locations and this luxury resort outside Phan Thiet is no exception. Spread across lush, bougainvillea-filled gardens above a perfect golden sand beach, the hotel consists of 60 pretty, Vietnamese-style cottages with high red tiled roofs and terracotta floors, each with its own private courtyard and veranda where you can laze in a hammock while enjoying cool breezes off the South China Sea. Two large swimming pools offer alternatives to the transparent water of the bay, and kayaks are also available for the more adventurous.
