Banyan Tree Lang Co Vietnam

"Backed by the foothills of the Truong Son mountains, and fronted by a quiet bay and nearly two miles of sandy beach, this romantic retreat features an all-villa setup, with 56 sleek accommodations that have private gardens, infinity pools, and outdoor lounging and dining spaces; the only decision you need to make is whether you prefer a beachside or hilltop setting and one, two, or three bedrooms. While the resort tends to attract privacy-seeking couples, there’s plenty to do for active guests, from golfing on the 18-hole Nick Faldo–designed course and enjoying water activities via the on-site sea sports center and marine lab to indulging in tropical ingredient–infused treatments at the spa or a couple’s yoga or cooking class. Head off property for a boat trip, a mountain-biking adventure, or to visit the three nearby UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but come back for meals at the resort’s four distinct restaurants."

Banyan Tree Lăng Cô

"The Banyan Tree Lang Co is a collection of sixty-two villas on the central coast of Vietnam, right between the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Huế and Hoi An. It’s the ideal launching point to explore those towns and to soak in the tranquility of Central Vietnam’s countryside—but you’ll find it hard to leave this two-mile stretch of pristine beach, or your villa for that matter. Each villa comes with a private pool and depending on which you stay in, you’ll either have views of a natural lagoon, the beach, or the surrounding mountains. An 18-hole golf course, a yoga pavilion, three restaurants, and a spa, mean there’s plenty on offer for any kind of traveler. But whichever you are, you’ll find its natural setting, seamlessly embedded into rural Vietnam, the main attraction."
