Homestay BINH AN ^中文版

Introduction

Nestled in the quiet, leafy outskirts of Vĩnh Long, Vietnam’s Mekong Delta heartland, Homestay BÌNH AN (which translates to “Peace Homestay” in Vietnamese) lives up to its name. This welcoming family-run property offers a far more authentic delta experience than crowded central hotels, trading busy street noise for the gentle rustle of garden foliage and the distant chirp of kingfishers from nearby waterways. Whether you’re a solo traveler seeking slow delta days, a couple on a romantic retreat, or a family exploring the region, this homestay balances local charm with thoughtful modern comfort.

Hotel Overview

Located at 394/16A Phước Ngươn A, Phước Hậu, Vĩnh Long (just behind the Provincial Court), Homestay BÌNH AN puts you within easy reach of the delta’s best attractions while feeling like a private escape. The property caters to every type of traveler, with spacious family rooms, hypoallergenic and fully accessible non-smoking accommodations, and every room comes with private ensuite bathrooms stocked with free toiletries, bath amenities, and coffee/tea making facilities.

Outdoor spaces are a highlight: wander the lush garden, relax on a private balcony or sun terrace, or dine al fresco at the property’s outdoor picnic and dining areas. On-site facilities include a full-service spa and wellness center offering everything from full-body massages to facials and body treatments, an on-site restaurant and bar serving daily breakfast (including in-room service) and local Mekong specialties, free private parking with valet service, 24-hour front desk support, and pet-friendly accommodation with no extra pet fees. Active guests can rent bikes to explore the surrounding countryside, join guided walking or cycling tours, and the property also offers airport shuttle service for added convenience. Note that the homestay does not offer public Wi-Fi, a deliberate choice to encourage guests to disconnect and soak in the slow delta pace.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots sit within a 20-minute ride of the homestay:

• Vĩnh Long Floating Market: One of the Mekong Delta’s most authentic floating markets, this bustling waterway hub lets you watch local traders sell fresh fruit, produce, and handmade snacks from wooden boats. Grab a steaming bowl of hu tieu noodle soup from a floating vendor and watch the sun rise over the water for a quintessential delta experience.
• An Binh Island: A quiet, car-free island dotted with fruit orchards, traditional brick kilns, and local family workshops. Cycle along narrow dirt paths past mango and pomelo groves, stop for fresh coconut water, and watch local artisans handcraft traditional palm sugar.
• Vĩnh Long Ancient Citadel: A 19th-century historical site built during the Nguyen Dynasty, this ruined citadel offers a glimpse into Vietnam’s pre-colonial history, with moss-covered stone walls and shaded walking paths that overlook the Mekong.

Travel Tips

If you’re arriving by air, book the homestay’s airport shuttle in advance for a stress-free transfer to the property. Bring cash for paid extras like spa treatments, guided tours, and laundry service, as on-site card facilities are limited. Since there is no on-site Wi-Fi, download any offline maps or entertainment before you arrive. The best time to visit is between December and April, when dry weather makes cycling and boat tours comfortable, and afternoon rains are rare. Don’t forget to try the homestay’s themed Mekong dinner, which features grilled Mekong fish and fresh tropical fruit sourced from local orchards for a true taste of the region.
