Top 10 Romantic Experiences for Couples in Vietnam

1. Cruise Through Halong Bay (or Lan Ha Bay) at Sunset

Nothing beats watching the sun dip below thousands of limestone islets while sipping wine on the deck of your private cruise. Add in a kayak for two, and you’re in a real-life love story.

“We danced under the stars on the top deck – it felt like a movie.” – Maria & Luca, Italy

2. Get Lost in Lantern-Lit Hoi An

Stroll hand-in-hand through Hoi An Ancient Town at night. The glow of silk lanterns, the riverside cafes, and tailor-made ao dai for two – pure magic.

3. Chill on the Beaches of Phu Quoc

White sand. Clear blue waters. Beachfront bungalows. Perfect for couples looking to unwind (or have beachy adventures like snorkeling together).

4. Explore the Mountains of Sapa or Ha Giang Together

Trek through rice terraces, visit ethnic villages, and cuddle up by a fireplace in a cozy lodge. For adventurous duos with hearts full of wanderlust.

5. Indulge in a Couple’s Spa & Herbal Bath in Hue

After visiting the Imperial Citadel, treat yourselves to a rejuvenating herbal bath – an ancient Vietnamese wellness ritual. Most boutique resorts in Hue offer romantic spa packages.

6. Romantic Street Food Tour in Hanoi

Love is sharing a bowl of pho. Or banh cuon. Or egg coffee. Let a local guide you through the Old Quarter’s tastiest spots on a private evening food tour.

7. Enjoy a Private Dinner on the Mekong Delta

Cruise slowly past lush riverbanks on a sampan while a chef prepares your candlelit dinner. It’s like Venice, but with floating markets and coconut trees.

Capture your love with the iconic Vietnamese ao dai outfit in charming spots like Hoi An, Hanoi Old Quarter, or in front of rice fields in Ninh Binh. The memories will last forever.

9. Hot Air Balloon Ride in Da Lat

Soar above pine forests and misty valleys for a once-in-a-lifetime romantic adventure. Da Lat’s cool weather and alpine charm make it perfect for couples.
