Sun-tan in Hoi An?

Travel Indochina has come up with the perfect solution for those sick of the winter weather and desperately seeking sun, sea and sand before the peak summer season arrives. The leading Asia-specialist has tailored a new itinerary incorporating the charming town and beach of Hoi An, which, unlike most other Asian resorts, benefits from a dry, sunny climate during our summer months.

The “Hoi An Escape” is a 16-night itinerary (although Travel Indochina can tailor-make shorter or longer stays according to their customers’ needs) that includes 8 nights at the Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort and Spa, two nights of which are completely free. Perfectly positioned right on China beach on Vietnam’s magnificent central coast, this charming hotel is just a short distance from the heart of the distinctively atmospheric town of Hoi An.

This one-time trading port is a popular choice for honeymooners, ideally combining a stay in a traditional, idyllic town with stunning beach relaxation. Recently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Hoi An retains an old world ambience and a rich historical quality, with narrow lanes and streets and centuries old shop-houses combining the influences of many trading communities.

If that’s not enough, then guests should take full advantage of the fact that Hoi An is home to over 100 tailors – where shoppers can get the latest look for a fraction of the prices at home and still have plenty to spare for sampling the town’s numerous boutique shops, restaurants, cafes and bars.

Travel Indochina’s general manager, Chris Orme, comments: “The “Hoi An Escape” is a fantastic itinerary that we have tailor-made specifically for our clients further to popular demand for trips including a mixture of culture, sightseeing and relaxing on the beach. Hoi An enjoys an enviable climate and is particularly suited for departures between April and July for those wishing to travel over the summer but avoid Asia’s rainy season.”

The “Hoi An Escape” also incorporates other favourite Vietnamese highlights, such as Saigon, the Mekong Delta, Hanoi and Halong Bay. The 16-night itinerary costs from £1,650 per person, including international flights with Malaysia Airlines, twin-share accommodation, local transportation and transfers and sightseeing as specified. Travel Indochina will also include the cost and arrangement of a visa for this itinerary.

For Vietnam enthusiasts preferring to opt for Travel Indochina’s popular range of Vietnam small group journeys, the tour operator has just announced great savings on their 10-day “Highlights of Vietnam” itinerary, which also enables visitors to add a beach stay onto their journey.
