With its miles of stunning beaches, top-class hotels and amazing service, Vietnam offers the chance for relaxation at almost every turn. Many holidays will include some time by the beach, whether its near the central cities of Hue and Hoi An, or further south in the remoter corners of Phou Qoc or Con Dao islands. The cruises on offer, whether around the limestone karsts of Halong Bay, or through the backwaters and floating markets of the Mekong Delta, are another great opportunity for some relaxation, sitting on deck with a drink in hand and watching the scenery drift by.
