Vietnam
Three days of cable cars and lantern light, then two where the sea does all the work.
Three nights in Da Nang, which is what it takes to give Ba Na Hills and Hoi An a day each instead of cramming them together, and then two nights on Phu Quoc for the An Thoi islands. 4★ at both ends. The honeymoon version of this same route runs the balance the other way — two nights of touring and three on the island — so take this one if you would rather see central Vietnam properly than lie still.
Day by day
Arrive, transfer, and the Son Tra peninsula in the late afternoon for Lady Buddha at Linh Ung and the view back down over the bay.
A full day at Ba Na Hills — the cable car up, the Golden Bridge, the gardens and the French village at the top. Back in the city by evening.
Ba Na Hills · Da Nang
The Marble Mountains and the Am Phu cave in the morning, then down the coast to Hoi An for the Ancient Town on foot. Stay for the lanterns; back to Da Nang after dark.
Hoi An
Fly to the island. On most dates this connects rather than flying direct, so the day goes to travelling — check in, and the evening is yours.
Phu Quoc
A speedboat day through the southern archipelago — four islands, snorkelling stops, lunch aboard — and the Hon Thom cable car, which crosses open sea for most of its length.
Transfer to the airport.
