Fusion Maia Da Nang

A stone's throw from the sea, the glassy pool makes for a refreshing dip with chunky fruit cocktails to sip on afterwards. Along a palm-fringed pathway, Five is named after the number of elements believed to make food delicious and serves up its own selection of Vietnamese delicacies. The aptly-named Fresh is a funky spot with a menu of comfort foods - it's not a bad place to enjoy the sunset either. Let the mixologists whip you up a tropical daquiri at Tonic where purple lanterns hang like jellyfish.

Strewn across the tropical gardens, there are 87 villas donning shades of purple and cream. Sliding glass doors open to reveal shaded loungers and a black granite pool. With similar interiors, there are also a number of bungalows divided into deluxe rooms. The style is fresh and bright, and each has a feather-soft bed and spacious sitting area, while the larger villas also feature a dining area and kitchenette. The bathrooms are sleek and glossy with large mirrors, a sunken bath and TV to watch while you soak.

Before you venture off to discover Hoi An's history, enjoy a boat trip to the Cham Islands for an underwater jaunt or surf the waves as they roll up the coast. Vietnam is known for some tranquil landscapes so why not explore them the local way, by motorbike! Visit the ancient My Son Sanctuary, spend time at a local home where rice wine is made or stroll the streets of Old Town where ornate temples, bridges and homes make for a photogenic afternoon.
