How to Plan a Honeymoon Trip to Vietnam
Vietnam has become a popular honeymoon destination because of its white, sandy beaches, ideal weather and exotic views. Vietnam is also ideal for couples who are looking for something different rather than being surrounded by touristy attractions. Visitors can take time to explore ancient cities, dive on coral reefs and trek through the jungle. At the end of the day, Vietnam also offers top spa treatments and a number of first-class amenities to its visitors.

Book a beachside resort. Nha Trang and Da Nang (China Beach) are some of the best white-sand beaches in Vietnam. For those wanting more privacy on their honeymoon, most of the beaches offer snorkeling and trekking trips to desolated islands in the vicinity.

Don't forget the classic attractions. These include rice farms and rice-paper factories, the Viet Cong tunnels, the One Pillar Pagoda and some of the old markets, including the floating markets.

Tips & Warnings
As you plan your honeymoon trip, keep in mind that traveling on your own around Vietnam may be difficult. Transportation options are not that plentiful, English is not widely spoken and certain areas may be dangerous if you get lost. If you don't have a lot of experience traveling on your own, it may make more sense to book a package.
You will need a visa to enter Vietnam.
