Autumn Escapes · Vietnam
Curated luxury Vietnam holidays
Ten nights from Hanoi's old quarter to a private junk and the delta
The journey
Our curated luxury Vietnam holidays bring together Hanoi, time on the water and the delta without turning every day into a transfer. For travellers from India, the balance of food, culture and quiet time is designed around your interests, with dietary preferences discussed before the route is confirmed.
Vietnam delivers more per rupee than anywhere in Asia, and this is Vietnam at its most considered: Bill Bensley's Capella in Hanoi, an overnight private junk in Lan Ha bay away from Halong's crowds, private-pool villas at the Nam Hai, and a Mekong delta day that ends in an orchard.
Open-jaw into Hanoi and out of Saigon, so no day is spent retracing your steps.
Read our Vietnam destination guide, explore family travel, or discuss your private Vietnam journey.

The private junk in Lan Ha was worth every rupee. We saw four other boats all evening.
