Vietnam has a fascinating array of temples, rivers, mountain, beaches and cities to create a highly popular destination for romantic couples or honeymoon destinations. From its long-lasting history and culture to the gorgeous landscapes from the north to south, there are many things to see and do for couples looking to explore this country.

Whether you intend to plan a romantic tour in Vietnam that takes in the remote and rugged landscapes, a glamorous city, or relaxing on the beach, let's take a look at a few of the best places to stay in Vietnam for couples:

Hanoi
Hanoi is Vietnam's capital city and makes a wonderful start to a romantic stay in Vietnam. It is a city that has fascinating cultural diversions and museums, as well as high-end restaurants and hotels. Additionally, the fine artisan influences, royal legacies and French architecture are great to appreciate on a walk around the city.

Halong Bay
A relaxing way to enjoy the Vietnam honeymoon packages is to book a cruise on the emerald waters of Halong Bay. The calm waters are perfect to appreciate the striking seascape of forested limestone cliffs rising from the bay. Plus, there are plenty of options for a 5-star cruise with the well outfitted traditional junk-style boats to the modern cruise ship.

A great time to experience the cruise is March to May and September to November when the climate is dry and pleasant.

A typical Halong Bay cruise can include visiting the floating villages to fully appreciate the day-to-day life of the local people, as well as several quiet islands with beaches that are perfect to sunbathe or go for a swim.

Additionally, there is the option to take a tour of the bay on a seaplane that flies at nearly 3,000 metres to give stunning views of green mountains, sculpted valleys and islands below.

Hoi An
Hoi An is a quaint destination that is appreciated for its bespoke tailors, numerous restaurants and bars, and art galleries. Its village like atmosphere is perfect for the romantic break that gives the option to escape the noise of the bustling city traffic. This is a city with a slow pace of life, yet still great to appreciate the local way of life and real food culture.

One of the popular Vietnam honeymoon ideas is to enrol in a cooking class to learn the basics of preparing a few of the most popular dishes. Additionally, the setting can vary with many options to experience a rooftop cafe that offers a striking view of the Hoi An ancient town.

Danang
Danang isn't too far from the Imperial capital of Hue or the charming city of Hoi An, yet still offers plenty of isolated and beautiful beach destinations, such as Son Tra Peninsula, Bac My An, Non Nuoc and My Khe. Many of the beaches are entirely idyllic with smooth and colourful sand.

Simply choosing one of the many 5-star resorts along the coastline will help to create the romantic setting that can easily lead to fascinating memories.

Additionally, a stay in Danang is easily organised especially when it is possible to arrive in the city using the international airport.

Phu Quoc Island
Beyond the many qualities of the mainland Vietnam visitors can also enjoy one of the most romantic places in the country which is the white sandy beaches and palm-fringed Phu Ococ. The rate of progress in this region is still relatively slow which makes it easier to combine the simple life with traditional villages and high-end accommodation, as well as a relaxing environment and wonderful food.

Much of Phu Quoc Island is reserved for the national park, which can help to create a vast area to explore for the exciting activities and memorable experiences.

There are plenty of things to do for couples on Phu Quoc such as walking hand in hand along one of the untouched beaches, watching the sunset rise, or even explore the national park to see the dense mountain ranges, evergreen forests, and unique fauna and flora.

Sapa
Sapa is located in the north of Vietnam and a majestic area appreciated for its stunning natural scenery. A Sapa tour has plenty of things to see and enjoy such as learning more about the culture of the ethnic groups.

A few of the most interesting things to explore include Fanspian Mountain which has an elevation of nearly 3,143 metres to give perfect views of the surroundings. Also, there is the ethnic villages that are colourful, authentic and wonders, the Sapa market, the rice terraced fields, and the Silver waterfall that is surrounded by the lush-green landscape of Hoang Lien Son National Park.

Vinh Hy Bay
Vinh Hy Bay is an area of natural beauty in SE Asia that is dotted with woven coracle and fishing vessels. It is a stunning stretch of coastline with sparkling clear blue waters that includes plenty of wildlife, such as the sea turtles.

Also, Vinh Hy Bay is located relatively close to the Nui Chua National Park that is home to many bird species, barking deer, monkeys and sun bears.

A stay in this part of the country on the honeymoons in Vietnam gives a perfect opportunity to climb the mountains to navigate the forests, as well as go swimming to see the diverse coral reefs and the many ocean creatures.

Dalat
Dalat is a hillside resort town in central Vietnam that is a popular place for a luxury break for both tourists and city dwellers. It is a great destination for those looking to get away from the coastal areas of the country.

Dalat can make a wonderful hideaway for the romantic break with its French colonial villas and streets lined with trees. Additionally, there are plenty of ethnic minority villages and waterfalls, charming valleys, and mountains to create pristine scenery.

This is a city that can be visited year-round because it enjoys a mostly cool climate with springtime a great time to see the flowers blossom across the vibrant landscape.

Whether it is the loving atmosphere, the many kinds of stunning flowers, the pine forests or the famous lakes, a stay in Dalat is certain to make a meaningful and unforgettable time for couples.
