Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh, Vietnam

Ninh Binh is home to the scenic landscape complex called Trang An, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2014. Trang An complex is best known for its spectacular landscape of limestone karst peals and include Hoa Lu, the capital of Vietnam in the tenth century, as well as temples, pagodas, paddy-fields, villages and sacred sites. It is often referred to as an inland Halong Bay as the scenery is very similar, however her you’ll not have the crowds and can incorporate an element of local life and culture into your experience.

Emeralda is a luxury retreat located in the heart of the province and the perfect base from which to explore the region. We would recommend spending at least 2 nights here to fully explore this stunning region with day one visiting an amazing series of caves and temples called Dich Long Cave and Pagoda, you’ll then row, by traditional sampan, through the picturesque scenery of Van Long. Your second day (if you have time) can be spent cycling through sleepy villages, past rice fields – all surrounded by majestic limestone mountains – it is simply stunning. Day 3 visit Cuc Phuong National Park, one of the few tropical rainforests left in the country, before heading back to Hanoi. Click here for more details of this suggested itinerary. You could even consider a night in Halong Bay and drive directly to Ninh Binh for another 2 nights at Emaralda.
