Beyond the Fairways
Three UNESCO World Heritage sites within an hour. Imperial history. Ancient trading ports. Sacred temples. Artisan villages where crafts have passed through generations.
Hoi An Ancient Town
A 15th-century trading port frozen in amber. Japanese merchant houses. Chinese assembly halls. French colonial buildings. Come for the architecture, stay for the tailors (24-hour custom suits).
Lantern Making Workshop
Hoi An is the City of Lanterns. Learn why—and make your own. Local artisans guide you through 400 years of tradition. You leave with more than a souvenir—you leave with a skill and a story.
Vietnamese Cooking Class
Start at dawn in a local market. Select ingredients with your guide. Travel by boat through coconut-lined waterways. Learn to prepare Hoi An's signature dishes. Eat what you create.
My Son Sanctuary
The spiritual heart of the Champa Kingdom from the 4th to 13th centuries. Hindu temple towers rise from a jungle valley, built to honor Shiva. Less restored than Angkor but equally atmospheric.
Imperial City of Hue
The seat of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. Modeled on Beijing's Forbidden City. The royal tombs outside the city—Tu Duc, Minh Mang, Khai Dinh—each reflect their emperor's personality.
Marble Mountains
Five limestone hills named for the elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth. Buddhist pagodas and Hindu shrines occupy natural caves. Stone steps wind to viewpoints overlooking the coastline.
