Exotic and exciting, Vietnam is the perfect destination for an illuminating getaway. At the 5-star InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, the new Vietnamese Cultural Experience offers the opportunity to delve into the gorgeous landscape of the Son Tra Peninsula and learn about the traditional crafts and foods found in this corner of the world. Guests can participate in a Vietnamese lantern-building class, learn to make traditional conical hats, take a class in Vietnamese coffee arts and take a daytrip to Hoi An, an ancient 15^th-century village now a UNESCO World Heritage Center.

The special, themed getaway begins at $420 per room and includes a daily breakfast buffet and round-trip airport transfers. While you’re there, make time to relax on the broad beaches, explore historic monuments and sites, chill out by the pool or hike along the rainforest paths and trails. The resort is set on a slope of Monkey Mountain looking over a private cove, providing a true sense of place. There’s also the option to spend some time inside with a treatment at award-winning Harnn Heritage Spa, where therapies are based on naturopathy and traditional Asian medicine, including Vietnam’s Dong Y healing tradition. Named best Luxury Resort Spa at The World Luxury Spa Awards 2015, and voted Asia’s Best Resort Spa in the World Spa Awards 2016, the spa offers an extensive menu with themed treatments such as the Journey of Marble Mountains.
