In Central Vietnam, the trio of Hue, Hoi An, and Da Nang creates the ultimate honeymoon escape — where imperial heritage, lantern-lit charm, and coastal elegance come together in perfect harmony.
If you have been searching for the best honeymoon destinations in Vietnam, Da Nang has probably topped the list. Titled as Vietnam’s most livable city, Da Nang has the whole deal: golden beaches, lively nightlife, and romantic escapes - often featured in tailor-made honeymoon packages in Vietnam.
When looking for things to explore in this vibrant coastal city, there are infinite horizons. While the soft sands of My Khe Beach are heavenly to lounge on, the Marble Mountains invite exploration from the adventurous souls. Need something more bustling? Visit the iconic Dragon Bridge for sensational fire and water shows, or ride the cable up to Ba Na Hills to witness the Golden Bridge’s giant hands in real life. If you prefer a short road trip, embark on a drive along the Hai Van Pass.

All these activities are more enjoyable with a cosy hideout, which is why a Da Nang private pool villa or a Da Nang all-inclusive resort is an excellent choice for couples who crave privacy and comfort.

As one of the most well-known cities in Vietnam, Hue makes a mark with its unique blend of imperial history and one-of-a-kind scenery. Once a capital under the Nguyen Dynasty, Hue’s charm lies in the UNESCO-certified Imperial City - a historic complex that preserves the latest royal heritage of Vietnam.
Beyond historical treasures, there is a wide array of activities to do while holidaying in this dazzling city, whether it is cruising along the Perfume River to watch the magnificent sunset or visiting the Imperial Citadel and the Nguyen Dynasty's Royal Tombs. An amazing day can begin by exploring the ancient pagodas and gardens around town, and end with a tranquil afternoon tea overlooking popular landmarks. Hue’s romantic rhythm invites couples to immerse themselves in its timeless atmosphere, which is why, among an abundance of honeymoon places in Vietnam, Hue Imperial City is crowned as a hidden gem for couples who desire a slow-paced journey.
Located in the central region, the best time to visit Hue is from February to August, as this dry season is ideal for sightseeing and other outdoor activities.
Another popular destination that attracts an impressive number of visitors each year is none other than Hoi An - a heritage town with a unique ancient charm. This city has also received the World Heritage Site award from UNESCO, thanks to its well-preserved architecture that dates back to the 15th century.
For couples who are searching for things to do in Vietnam for their honeymoon, this little town has nothing short of extraordinary to offer. Unlike other urban cities, Hoi An is perfect for romantic walks where time seems to slow down. Here, you can explore wooden merchant shops, try lantern-making together, visit the historic Japanese Covered Bridge, and sip the world-famous Vietnamese coffee in riverside cafés.

Not sure what to do in Hoi An at night? A calming stroll through lantern-lit streets after drifting on a sunset boat along the Thu Bon River is a flawless end to a day full of cultural discoveries.
Having a similar climate to Hue, the most ideal time to visit Hoi An is between February and April, when the weather is dry, mild, and most comfortable.
Located in Northern Vietnam, Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage seascape where emerald waters meet dramatic limestone karsts. The city has witnessed tremendous growth over the decades and has now become a dreamy honeymoon destination in Vietnam.
Ha Long Bay is a breath of fresh air that lets couples unwind and enjoy a loving journey on a luxury cruise, where watching the sunset while having a candlelit dinner is a nightly ritual. At daytime, go hand-in-hand to visit Surprise Cave or Ti Top Island for majestic panoramic views, or kayak through hidden lagoons to create life-long memories.
