Ha Long Bay & Northern Vietnam aerial view

Ha Long Bay & Northern Vietnam, Vietnam

Ha Long Bay's limestone karsts rising from emerald water are northern Vietnam's signature spectacle, best admired from a private island resort or an overnight cruise. Beyond the bay, the region unfolds into the misty rice terraces of Sapa and the sacred pine forests of Yen Tu, where Bill Bensley-designed retreats turn the journey north into an exercise in refined escapism.
