Sapa Valley is a refreshingly picturesque part of Vietnam that often gets ignored by visitors devoted to the beaten path. The region is absolutely worth a visit, not least when you stay at the Silk Path Grand Resort & Spa Sapa, which is nestled on its very own hill that overlooks the magnificent Hoang Lien Son Mountains with view over rice paddies in Vietnam. This secluded world allows you to be as active or as leisurely as you wish. You can meet ethnic minorities who lovingly till the terraced rice fields, spend time on your own personal journey in the luxurious spa, spend time in the four-season garden, tuck into a variety of meals, or enjoy lively music in the chic night lounge.

Halong Bay is widely considered to be one of the natural wonders of the world. This UNESCO-listed region is simply breathtaking. Sail aboard a traditional junk boat around the thousands of majestic limestone, jungle covered peaks and isles, rising dramatically out of the sparkling emerald waters of the bay.
