Doing our usual daily scroll through Luxury Escape deals, we found an excellent offer to stay at the Victoria Beach Resort & Spa in Hoi An. With the deal being too good to pass up, we spontaneously booked the trip and explored the fabulous country of Vietnam. Below are details of our itinerary, vendors and base costs. More details of our experiences can be found in our blog.

Flights: $1,600 AUD for two people

Sydney to Ho Chi Minh return flights plus one internal flight from Ho Chi Minh to Da Nang; sourced through Skyscanner and booked through Aunty Betty.

Accommodation: $1,230 AUD

Our accommodation in VIetnam included 3 nights in Ho Chi Minh at the Alagon Hotel & Spa, and 5 nights in Hoi An at the Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa.

Victoria Hoi An Resort was booked through Luxury Escapes as a package that included daily breakfast, one massage each, a dinner for two, one daily cocktail each, airport transfers, and a motorbike tour around the village.

📍Bako National Park 📍Matang is a rescue & rehabilitation sanctuary for native animals in Sarawak, Borneo.

A lot of beer, meat and mead was had, along with a very good time ⚔️ 📍Vasa Museum 📍Gamla Stan is Stockholm’s oldest district. Dating back to the 13th century, there are medieval alleyways, cobblestone streets, and gorgeous historic buildings like Stockholm Cathedral and the Royal Palace to explore.
