Best-of-the-Best Luxury Tour of Vietnam

13 days from £8,260 for 2025 per person

Vietnam is a food and culture lover’s dream. From delicious phos, lantern-lit temples and talented tailors to beautiful beaches, ancient fishing ports, and buzzing cities, Vietnam’s impressive roll call of highlights make her one of Asia’s most enticing destinations. She is also home to a handful of Ampersand’s favourite hotels and, for those who wish to experience the best of the best throughout their tour, we have designed the ultimate luxury tour of Vietnam staying at her finest hotels, incorporating her most indulgent experiences and expert guides.

Famous for her French cafés and honking mopeds, Hanoi is an intoxicating place to begin your journey. Take in the city’s sights and smells whilst spending 2 nights at the historic Sofitel Metropole; with its vintage Citroens and classy poolside cocktail bar, this grande dame hotel instantly transports you back to a refined and elegant era. Venture into the crumbling colonialism of Hanoi’s Old Quarter and enjoy a privately guided street food tour with local food expert, Mr Vu Long, who is head of the Hanoi Gastronomy Club, editor of Culinary Art magazine and a lecturer at Hanoi University.

Next, the UNESCO-protected Halong Bay beckons. Cruise through jade-coloured waters studded with towering limestone islands and experience the most luxurious vessel to sail these waters, the Paradise Peak. Launched in 2013, this 8 cabin boat is fitted out in sophisticated style with luxuries such as personal butler, beauty and massage facilities, Jacuzzi and sauna room, a gym and private balconies and sundeck to drink in the views. Start your day with a Tai Chi demonstration on the sun deck and discover the Bay of the Descending Dragon in the afternoon. Swim and kayak to surrounding caves, visit floating villages, have a Vietnamese cooking class or even do some late night squid fishing.

Spend 3 nights at the ultra-sleek Nam Hai resort, dividing your time between the pristine sands of Da Nang and the fairy tale town of Hoi An, before heading to the newest – and, we think, best – Aman Resort in Asia, the Amanoi, set on a dramatic coastline on the edge of Nui Chua National Park. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, it is a temple of tasteful, understated décor and home to a truly exceptional Aman Spa. You’ll be fully relaxed and ready for the moped madness of Saigon, where you’ll stay at the city’s most luxurious hotel, the Park Hyatt. End the trip with your feet in the powder-soft sands of Con Dao island, flung 180 km off the mainland in the South China Sea. Sheltered by green hills and set on miles of white beach, the Six Senses Con Dao is the perfect spot to spoil yourself with treatments at the Six Senses spa or unwind with a long cocktail at your luxury beach villa.

It can be booked as it is, or alternatively used as a starting point for creating your own ideal bespoke holiday to VietnamIf you'd like to see similar tours, take a look at our Ultimate Luxury VillasBeach Holidays, Spa & WellnessCulinary Tours and Honeymoon collections.

Client Testimonials

Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
