Central Vietnam is home to the country's best beaches, with a climate that is ideal during our Spring and Summer holidays. Linking Hoi An's riverside culture and ancient heritage to Quy Nhon's stunning coast is Vietage, Vietnam's first luxury train.

You then embark on a 6-hour train journey filled with amusements such as fine wines and mouth-watering cuisine, a pampering massage and views of the passing countryside as you head towards the coast. Spend days of relaxation on the beaches of Quy Nhon at Anantara's new all-villa resort. Finish back in Hoi An to pick up your newly tailored clothes and a morning's cooking class before heading home.
