A luxury travel guide to Lăng Cô in Central Vietnam

By LLM Reporters   |  

Within an hour’s drive from the city of Da Nang, Lăng Cô is an area renowned for its pristine coastline, natural scenery and proximity to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Notable sites include the ancient capital city of Hue on the shores of the Perfume River, the charming and age-old city of Hoi An and the relics of My Son, a sanctuary featuring a wealth of temples and monuments with intricate carvings.

See

Lăng Cô beach is the perfect stop between Da Nang and Hue. Boasting more than 10km of pure white sand facing the East Sea and backed by the spectacular emerald green forests of the Truong Son mountain range, the beach is the perfect place to relax and unwind or, if you’re staying at Banyan Tree Lăng Cô, race the waters on a jet ski, ride the waves on a wakeboard or enjoy a heart-thumping ride on the all-time favourite banana boat.
