Book Ha Long Bay hotels

"Wow" is the best way to describe it. Halong Bay is a place you just HAVE to see before you die. With thousands of limestone islands rising from a seemingly endless sea, a trip here will totally blow your mind. And with our range of Halong Bay hotels to pick from, you won’t have to give up your modern comforts either. Gather your BFFs (or your man), grab your camera and some sunblock and mozzie repellent, and find out why this beautiful bay is one of Vietnam’s most popular travel destinations!

Halong means ‘where the dragon descends into the sea’ and legend has it the islands were created by a giant dragon that came down from the mountains thrashing its tail. It’s a far-fetched story, but when you see this place it’s almost believable! Take a ride on a junk boat, a traditional sailing boat used throughout Asia for centuries. From the deck you’ll see towering, unusually-shaped rock formations with sparse patches of trees. Birds will sing, and when it’s cold the mist will make it all feel like a journey to another world. Many of the islands have amazing turquoise lakes of their own. And soooo many people come here for the caves! Walk or take a kayak through some of the epic cave landscapes in Halong Bay’s hollow islands. For a romantic getaway with a twist, take your man for a candlelit cave dinner and then spend the night on a junk boat. You can watch the sun rise over the waters of the bay the next morning. What could be more romantic?

Most of our Halong deals are in Halong City, the capital of Quảng Ninh Province and the gateway to Halong Bay. The city has several luxe hotels you can relax in for the night. There are plenty of restaurants around serving delicious seafood and authentic Vietnamese cuisine to indulge your tastebuds. If you’re especially brave (or tipsy), take your turn on the mic in one of Halong City’s karaoke bars! It’s great for a laugh with friends! Not into singing? Put your dancing shoes on and head to a nightclub or make your way to the Halong Night Market for some gorgeous one-of-a-kind souvenirs. If you don’t feel like staying in Halong City, you can also explore the wonderland that is Halong Bay from Cat Ba Island, the largest island in the bay. Cat Ba Island means ‘women’s island’ and in Cat Ba Town you’ll find more restaurants and karaoke bars along with some lovely floating pier-side restaurants.

What an adventure! Just make sure you save enough energy to see the rest of the country. See below for our full range of Halong deals and live every lastminute in Vietnam.
