E-lyn ThamValentine’s Day is just around the corner – all over the globe.
CALM DOWN GUYS! Wipe that sweat off your palms. We got you covered. Ladies! We have a great idea for you to hint to your significant other.
This year’s Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday – perfect for a romantic weekend getaway! Why not escape the ridiculously priced dinners in Singapore, and venture to Hoi An & Danang – 2 of Vietnam’s hidden gems?
Hoi An and Danang are situated only 30 minutes apart, perfect for a 2-in-1 weekend getaway! We recommend staying in Danang, known for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. There is a stretch of hotels along the beach in Danang, each with its own private beach! Relax on the sand with a pina colada in your hand – is there really anything better?

Enjoy views of the sea and of the nearby Marble Mountain from the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa, our top pick out of all the resorts.
Start the day right with a refreshing dip in the pool after a sumptuous buffet breakfast!
Cosy up in a hammock with a good book – there’s enough hammocks for you and your loved one to have one each, or perhaps for both to cuddle up in 1 for a lovey-dovey swinging good time!
Most resorts in Danang offer shuttle services to nearby attractions, such as Hoi An. Hoi An is a charming old town, with enough romance to last a lifetime. The streets are lined with rustic yellow buildings, and are best explored by bicycle or trishaw! Snuggle up against your other half in a trishaw as you trundle along the river. (Cue: Awwwww!)
