Local Attractions

• Cai Lay Floating Market: Just a 20-minute boat ride from the resort, this is one of the delta’s most authentic floating markets. Watch local traders sell fresh tropical fruit, homemade sweets, and handicrafts from wooden sampans, and join a dawn tour to see the market come alive as the sun rises over the water.
• Dong Tam Island: A short drive from the resort, this lush river island is home to traditional coconut candy workshops, tropical fruit orchards, and quiet stilt house homestays. Take a rowboat through narrow mangrove canals and sample fresh lychee, mango, and homemade Mekong rice wine.
• Vinh Trang Pagoda: One of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in the Mekong Delta, this 19th-century complex blends Vietnamese, Chinese, and Khmer architectural styles, with lush gardens full of frangipani and ancient banyan trees. It’s a 40-minute drive from the resort and offers a peaceful space for reflection.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak dry season (December to February), when delta tourism is at its busiest. The resort offers paid airport transfers from Ho Chi Minh City, around two hours away, which is far more convenient than arranging public transport. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent for outdoor excursions, and comfortable walking shoes for village tours. Don’t miss the chance to join the resort’s in-house cooking class, where you’ll learn to make classic Mekong dishes like sour soup and coconut caramel pork using fresh local ingredients.
