By Reta Lee,
Adulting is rough, and sometimes you just need to bail for a bit. Good news for my Singapore crew: Vietnam is literally right there. We're talking less than four hours on a plane, and you're officially in a whole new vibe, ready for that mental reset.
Vietnam has rapidly emerged as a premier destination for luxury travelers, boasting an impressive array of high-end hotels and resorts that blend exquisite service with stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. From the historic colonial grandeur of the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi to the ultra-chic beachfront villas of Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An, options cater to diverse tastes.
Also, many luxury properties, such as Banyan Tree Lang Co, are strategically located near UNESCO World Heritage Sites, providing both indulgence and opportunities for cultural exploration. These hotels often emphasise wellness, gourmet dining, and personalised experiences, ensuring an unforgettable stay.
Beachy Days Ahead
1. FOUR SEASONS THE NAM HAI, HOI AN
First off, the villas with private pools? Say less. Perfect for those fire 'grams or just chilling with your squad without randos judging your TikTok dances. The aesthetic is unreal – traditional Vietnamese charm meets peak luxury. Think less stuffy, more serene and super chic.
Beyond the aesthetics, they actually get the whole wellness thing. Their spa, "The Heart of the Earth," is next level with sound healing and rituals that legit ground you. Plus, it's super close to Hoi An Ancient Town, so you can dip into culture and get some insane pics for the feed. It's the perfect blend of chill, culture, and absolute luxury. You'll leave feeling totally recharged and ready to slay.
2. BANYAN TREE LANG CO
Alright, let's talk about Banyan Tree Lang Co. If you're looking for that ultimate flex-worthy getaway that's also actually, like, relaxing, this is it. It's giving major "escape the matrix" vibes.
First off, it's low-key kinda remote. We're talking private pool villas – like, every villa has its own pool. So you can literally roll out of bed and into your own personal oasis. No need to fight for a sun lounger, ever.
The whole aesthetic is super integrated with nature, which is a big win for your mental health. Think lush greenery, mountain views, and that fresh, fresh air. Plus, it's nestled near some iconic UNESCO sites, so you can actually get your culture fix in between spa sessions and poolside lounging. It's the perfect mix of luxury and genuine chill, without being overly stuffy. Highly recommend for a proper reset.
3. AMANOI
Okay, if you're serious about escaping the grid and getting that ultimate "unplugged" vibe, Amanoi in Vietnam is literally the place.
Nestled in a national park with insane ocean views, Amanoi is all about that serene, private experience. Their pavilions and villas are designed so you feel like you're the only one there, with your own private pool and seriously unreal views. Think major main character energy, but make it super chill and zen.
They're huge on wellness too, so if you're into yoga, spa treatments, or just generally feeling your best self, they've got you covered. It’s definitely a splurge, but for that kind of peace and quiet, and the stunning aesthetic for your feed, it's totally worth it for a proper mental reset.
4. ANANTARA MUI NE
If your feed is looking a bit dead and your brain needs a hard reset, this spot in Mui Ne is actually it.
It's literally right on the beach, so you get those amazing ocean views without even trying. The rooms and villas at Anantara Mui Ne are super plush and luxurious. Think tropical paradise meets chic design – perfect for those 'grammable moments.
They've got an insane infinity pool that practically spills into the sea, so you can just float and forget all your responsibilities. Plus, Mui Ne is known for its epic sand dunes, so you can actually do something cool besides just lounging (unless that's your whole vibe, which is also valid!). Basically, it's the perfect mix of luxury and genuine relaxation, all wrapped up in a stunning beachfront package.
5. SIX SENSES CON DAO
The only problem with coming to Six Senses Con Dao is leaving Six Senses Con Dao. The hotel’s private villas (equipped with private pools) and jaw-drop setting (one of the world’s most beautiful beaches) will have you thinking about tossing your passport and house keys into the ocean. The off-the-radar setting makes for a blissful minimum of tourists, meaning there’s nobody to spy on you frollicking on the beach or in your bath tub. Further draws to distract you from a life back home are the two excellent restaurants, an award-winning spa, and the array of tempting aquatic adventures.
6. INTERCONTINENTAL DANANG SUN PENINSULA RESORT
Okay, so the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is NOT playing around. This place is seriously next-level boujee, like, if you want to feel like a celebrity on vacay, this is it.
First off, the whole vibe is designed by Bill Bensley, so you know it's going to be absolutely wild and gorgeous, with all these cool, quirky details. It's built into a mountain, so you've got these insane ocean views from pretty much everywhere. Plus, there's a literal FUNICULAR to take you between levels, which is just peak aesthetic and convenience.
They've got a private beach, multiple pools (including an adults-only infinity pool that's pure bliss), and the food slaps. Even, the breakfast buffet is legendary. If you're looking to splurge and treat yourself to an unforgettable, picture-perfect getaway, this resort is it. You'll leave feeling completely refreshed and ready to stunt on your feed.

7. THE SOFITEL LEGEND METROPOLE HANOI
Forget your basic new builds, this place has serious historical cred – like, it's been around since 1901 and has seen some stuff!
It's got that classic French colonial vibe, super elegant but not in a dusty, old way. Think grand staircases, chic courtyards, and rooms that feel totally timeless. It's giving "old money aesthetic" but still comfy AF. You can chill by the pool, grab some seriously good French food (their Sunday brunch is famous!), or even do a tour of their actual wartime bunker, which is kinda wild. If you're into history but still want to feel pampered and put together, this is your spot. It's a whole experience, not just a hotel.
8. LA MEJOR INDOCHINE HOTEL
Okay, so the La Mejor Indochine Hotel in Hanoi is definitely on my radar for a chill, stylish stay that's still super central. It's giving "boutique chic" with a cool twist.
The whole vibe is a blend of traditional Vietnamese art and modern luxury, which means it's not just a place to crash, it's an aesthetic experience. Think beautiful decor that'll make your feed pop, without being over-the-top. Plus, it's right in the Old Quarter, so you're literally steps away from all the street food, night markets, and general Hanoi chaos (in the best way!).
Guests are hyping up the friendly staff and the delicious breakfast, which is a major win. It's the perfect spot if you want to soak up Hanoi's culture but still come back to a comfy, well-designed room with all the modern perks. Definitely a solid pick for a city break!
9. PERIDOT GRAND LUXURY BOUTIQUE HOTEL
If you're hitting up Hanoi and want to feel like royalty without being totally extra, the Peridot Grand Luxury Boutique Hotel is where it's at. This place is giving serious "sophisticated vibes" meets "Old Quarter cool."
First off, the decor is just chef's kiss. Think rich marble, velvet, and splashes of jewel tones – super chic and definitely 'grammable. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an aesthetic experience. And the rooms? Spacious, comfy beds (major key!), and often with cool city views.
But the real MVP here is the rooftop infinity pool and bar. Imagine chilling with a cocktail, soaking up the Hanoi skyline after a day of exploring. It's the perfect spot for sunset pics and good vibes. Plus, it's smack dab in the Old Quarter, so you can easily walk to all the iconic spots and hit up the best street food. Definitely a top-tier choice for a luxurious but still authentic Hanoi experience.
