As the sun begins to set, head to Sunset Town in the south. Nicknamed a “museum of architecture,” this colorful coastal village is home to the iconic Kiss Bridge (Cầu Hôn), where couples can share a kiss against the backdrop of the setting sun. Don’t miss “Kiss of the Sea” (Nụ hôn của Biển cả), a breathtaking water-fire-light show that caps off the romance.

Sao Beach (Bãi Sao)

One of Vietnam’s most beautiful beaches, Bai Sao is a dreamy escape for couples. Powder-soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and lush green palm groves make this a picture-perfect setting. Walk hand in hand along its crescent shoreline, relax in the shade, or simply float together in the gentle sea. Bai Sao’s pure and tranquil beauty is the perfect “catalyst” for quiet connection.

Trek hand in hand through the greenery, soak your feet in the cool stream, and reconnect with nature and each other in this hidden forest paradise.
