Hammock on Palm IslandWhale Island VietnamPalm Island Vietnam is a beach escape at its most exotic. Spectacular white beaches, azure seas, unspoilt corals reefs, quaint wooden bungalows... it's pretty much as close to paradise as you can get. Just imagine a hammock slung between two palm trees, swaying in a gentle sea breeze while you sip a cheeky afternoon cocktail. You can also swim, snorkel, and dive, giving you the option to do as little or as much as you like. In the evenings, wander along the beach with the powdery sand between your toes, and eat fresh fish at the lovely restaurant.Best time to visit Palm Island Vietnam is from January to late September, when rainfall is at its lowest. |

Day 1: ArrivalDepending on your mode of arrival, you'll be collected from either the railway station or the airport in Nha Trang. The minibus will bring you to the jetty for the speedboat crossing to Palm Island Vietnam. This region to the east of Van Ninh in Central Vietnam is protected as a nature reserve both above and below the water. On the island, and in the surrounding bay, you'll see incredible animal and bird life. The underwater world is superb – if you snorkel you'll see both hard and soft corals, and many unusual species of fish. Between April and July whales and whale sharks are often spotted in the vicinity of the island.Whilst staying on the island, you'll be treated to delicious meals with a strong French influence served by the friendly staff. When you arrive, a meal will be served and you can follow this with a drink in the tropical bar, the gentle sound of lapping waves in the background. Bliss. |

Day 2: Go as you pleaseThere are only a small amount of bungalows on the island, all hidden amongst swaying palm trees. These bungalows are comfortable and secluded, letting you relax completely while you listen to the nearby waves. The bungalow walls are made of bamboo, brick and palm wood, and their roofs are thatched with local palm leaves. The water's edge is only a few short steps from your veranda. The bungalows are tastefully furnished by the French management with a double bed (or two singles) and a mosquito net. All of the bungalows have their own private bathroom and a fan to keep you cool. Children under 8 years old can be accommodated with their parents in the same bungalow for free.You can rent snorkels for less than $3 per day. Palm Island Vietnam is an unbelievably good diving location in Vietnam, and you are more than welcome to book a diving course to keep you occupied during your stay.

Day 3: DepartureIn addition to diving and snorkelling, there are various other activities up for grabs during your stay on Palm Island Vietnam. Surfboards and catamarans are available for hire. You can also book boat trips to the neighbouring bays and islands, or take a bird spotting walk on the island. The owners of this tiny resort are heavily involved with nature and its preservation. They'll be more than happy to tell you where the mangroves, swamps and animals can be found in Van Phong Bay. |
