Luxury Vietnam Honeymoon

Morning with a private historian at the Temple of Literature, the Ho Chi Minh complex and the ancient Tran Quoc Pagoda on West Lake. Afternoon spa session at the Capella. Evening omakase dinner at a chef's-table Vietnamese restaurant with only eight seats.

Helicopter or private car to Ha Long Bay. Board your chartered junk with just you, the captain and a private chef. Cruise into quieter corners of the bay that group boats never reach. Kayak, swim and dine on deck wherever you anchor.

Wake when you want, go where you want. Options include a dawn kayak through Luon Cave, a cooking lesson with the onboard chef or simply reading on the sundeck as the junk drifts between the karsts. Chef's-choice lunch and sunset dinner in a secluded cove.

Disembark and transfer to Hanoi airport. Fly to Da Nang and private car to Hoi An. Check into the Anantara, a riverside pool villa with garden views. Afternoon exploring the Ancient Town. Evening private dining on the Thu Bon River.

Morning private cooking class in a riverside garden with a personal chef, local ingredients and no other guests. Afternoon bespoke tailoring session for silk ao dai, linen suits, whatever you want, fitted and delivered to your villa. Evening free for the Old Town lantern scene.

A day with nothing planned. Cycle to An Bang Beach, book a couples' spa treatment or charter a basket boat through the coconut palms. Your concierge can arrange anything on request.

Private car along the coast to Nha Trang (5 hours through scenic countryside) or optional short flight. Speedboat to Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, a resort only reachable by water. Settle into your rock-pool villa.

Two days at one of Asia's most spectacular resorts. Morning snorkelling off the private beach, afternoon spa journey (included), evening dining at the overwater restaurant. Yoga at dawn, stargazing at night. No agenda beyond whatever feels right.

Guided sunrise hike through the hills behind the resort, then a Vietnamese cooking class at the Dining by the Bay kitchen. Afternoon in your plunge pool. Farewell dinner on the rocks overlooking the bay as the fishing boats light up offshore.

Speedboat back to Nha Trang and fly to Ho Chi Minh City (1.5 hours). Check into the Park Hyatt or equivalent in District 1. Afternoon exploring at your pace, from the Opera House, Dong Khoi boulevard and the antique shops of Le Cong Kieu street.

Morning at the Reunification Palace with a private historian. Afternoon Vespa tour through Districts 4 and 8, with street food stops, hidden temples and local life far from the tourist trail. Evening tasting menu at a Michelin-recognised Vietnamese restaurant.

Morning at leisure for spa, shopping or a final café stop. Afternoon private Mekong Delta excursion by chartered boat through palm-fringed canals, a riverside family lunch and coconut wine tasting. Return to Saigon for a rooftop farewell dinner.
