- Private guides, seamless travel, and 24/7 support throughout your trip

Newlyweds who love the prospect of hopping from street food markets to Michelin-star restaurants and tasting fresh ingredients and creative plates full of zesty flavours, will be in heaven on honeymoon in Vietnam. And that’s even before exploring the enchanting landscapes, the rich history and the welcoming people. Add in the country’s spellbinding mix of buzzing urban wonders like Saigon, emerald bays and tropical islands, and it’s easy to see why luxury Vietnam honeymoons promise a romantic escape like no other.
Whether you picture strolling hand in hand through the cobbled streets of Hoi An, filled with glowing lanterns and colonial architecture, cruising quietly on the glassy waters of Halong Bay, or relaxing on Phú Quốc’s soft sandy beaches, there’s a honeymoon style for everyone. Our tailor-made Vietnam honeymoons can blend beach bliss with cultural discovery, expert-guided outdoor adventure or restorative wellness. Quick internal flights and scenic train rides between the north and south of the country make it easy to include several stops in 10 days, or, if you have two weeks, you could even add nearby destinations like Cambodia or Laos for an effortless Vietnam and Cambodia holiday.
With the exquisite hotels, you’ll find impeccably designed boutique retreats and five-star resorts that blend into the landscape. There’s an abundance of choice for your first moments as a married couple. Every detail of your honeymoon will be handled with care by Scott Dunn travel experts, who will design the Vietnam tour you’ve always dreamed of.
Luxury Vietnam Honeymoon Ideas & Tours
Vietnam has holidays for all types of honeymooners. Active couples will love the village treks, cycling in the countryside and sailing along the waterways, and those exhausted from wedding planning can indulge in the remote beaches with rustic five-star resorts and spas. Or perhaps you’re a bit of both and then some. Either way, our tours and experiences showcase the best things to do on a honeymoon in Vietnam.

During the 6-hour journey, each traveller will receive a 20-minute head and shoulder massage.

Ancient Cham Dinner / Amanoi, Vinh Hy Bay
Good for: Spiritual couples and people looking for a unique and unusual experience as part of a Vietnam wellness retreat
Featured tours: Limitless Vietnam
The beautiful Amanoi hotel offers a special dinner experience in the jungle with a Cham Master. Chams originate from the Champa Kingdom in Vietnam and are heavily influenced by Hindu culture, along with their own beliefs about the goddess Po Nagar known as the ‘Mother of the World’. As such, nature is a key part of their culture and is reflected in the dinner set under the stars, among the sights and sounds of nature. Along with a delicious meal, the Cham Master will hold a blessing ceremony for you, which is something truly unique and memorable.
Lan Ha Bay Cruise / Hai Phong
Good for: Honeymooners who want to connect with nature and see Vietnam’s stunning landscape on an adventure tour
Featured tours: Limitless Vietnam, Natural Wonders of Vietnam: From Halong Bay to the Mekong Delta
Lan Ha Bay is right next door to the better-known Halong Bay but thanks to restrictions on the number of boats allowed in it, is more secluded and a quieter choice for those on honeymoon in Vietnam. Take a two-day cruise on Heritage Line’s boat Ylang, which is very luxurious and intimate, with only 10 suites on board. The longer trip allows you to get further away from crowds and discover private coves to explore and have picnics on. Onboard, there’s yoga, meditation and Tai Chi classes, plus a spa and jacuzzi to relax in.

It is well-located in the charming Old Quarter, making sightseeing a breeze and you’ve got all of Hanoi’s fabulous restaurants and bars on your doorstep.
Anantara, Hoi An
Sitting on Hoi An’s riverside, the Anantara is just moments from all the shops, restaurants and bars that the charming old-world town has to offer. Sheltered by lush gardens, the aim of Anantara Hoi An is for every guest to leave completely relaxed and rejuvenated – just the place for exhausted newlyweds to unfurl in. Rooms are decked out in a contemporary, colonial style, and it has a wonderful spa and heated outdoor pool. Split your time between relaxing at the hotel and exploring Hoi An by foot or bicycle.
Bai San Ho, Phu Yen
Bai San Ho is a sanctuary for couples. Superlatively designed, every little detail has been carefully considered in the extremely cool villas, which are placed in different locations around the property. Slightly off the beaten track, this is a lovely beach hideout for honeymooners who want to wake up to the sound of the waves each morning. Zip around the hotel in golf buggies or on bicycles, going from the spa to a perfectly fresh seafood lunch on the beach. With no other hotels for 30 minutes around, there is a very remote, serene feel about this Vietnam honeymoon hotel.
Amanoi, Vinh Hy Bay
Known for their iconic architecture, the Aman group’s first Vietnam outpost is naturally impeccable to look at. Different-sized villas are dotted between the hillside, ocean and lake, merging into their surroundings. Some have private infinity pools and sprawling terraces, while the Wellness Villas come with a programme of spa treatments, meal plans and activities, plus a 15-metre private pool. There are several restaurants all set in spellbinding locations, and alfresco private dining can be arranged.
Six Senses Con Dao
Inspired by a traditional fishing village, this Vietnam honeymoon hotel has 50 private pool villas and residences built from reclaimed teakwood and sustainable materials just a few steps away from an immaculate stretch of beach. A tiny archipelago off the southern coast of Vietnam, Con Dao is wedged between tropical coral reefs on one side and the jungly Con Dao National Park on the other. Here you can spend your days reconnecting with nature, soaking up local life, watching turtles hatch their eggs or on the turquoise water with the many water sports on offer.
Six Senses Ninh Van Bay
Seemingly a remote island, but actually a secluded bay, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay is only accessible by boat, offering weary newlyweds an idyllic escape from reality. Villas with decks over the sea, excellent cuisine, butler service and the chance to dive, spa or simply laze around all contribute to this undeniably luxurious experience. There are endless water sports and trekking for those with restless legs, while castaway picnics, barbecues on the beach and movies under the stars will ignite the romance on your Vietnam honeymoon holiday.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in Vietnam
The climate in Vietnam varies as you travel from north to south, meaning the best time to visit depends on where you’re heading and what you’d like to do. Here’s a quick guide to help you plan your honeymoon or tailor-made Vietnam holiday:
- March to May – Warm, dry weather makes this a great time to explore Hanoi’s bustling streets or hike through the terraced rice fields of the northern highlands.
- June to August – Less ideal time to travel with high heat and rain in some regions, but you can still enjoy beach retreats in Nha Trang or Phú Quốc to swim, snorkel or simply unwind by the sea.
- September to November – Often considered the best time to travel to Vietnam, with mild, dry days ideal for trekking in Sapa, cruising Halong Bay, or enjoying the Hoi An Lantern Festival.
- December to February – Cooler in the north and comfortably warm in the south, it’s a great season for exploring Ho Chi Minh City, river cruises on the Mekong Delta.
So, if you want to combine multiple stops in the north and south of Vietnam, the best time to visit is between February and April.
