Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions within easy reach of the resort are:

• Vinh Long Floating Market: One of the most authentic floating markets in the Mekong Delta, just 20 minutes from the resort. Wander along the waterways on a rented boat to watch local vendors sell fresh tropical fruit, handmade crafts, and hot noodle dishes from their wooden boats, and experience the delta’s iconic river-borne way of life.
• An Binh Island: A peaceful rural island dotted with fruit orchards, traditional brick kilns, and local family workshops. Book the resort’s cultural tour to explore quiet cycling paths, sample freshly picked mangoes and pomelos, and learn how local artisans make rice paper and coconut candy.
• Binh Hoa Phuoc Orchid Garden: A 10-minute drive from the resort, this lush community garden grows hundreds of varieties of native orchids and tropical plants. Stroll along shaded paths, admire the colorful blooms, and pick up a small potted orchid as a souvenir.

Travel Tips

Visit between December and February for cool, dry weather ideal for outdoor exploring and swimming. Book the resort’s paid cooking class in advance to learn how to make classic Mekong dishes like canh chua (sour fish soup) from local instructors. If you’re traveling with kids, request a family room that connects two spaces for extra comfort, and don’t forget to bring reef-safe sunscreen for days spent boating or cycling. For anyone arriving by private car, the resort’s free on-site parking is straightforward to access, and the airport shuttle from Can Tho International Airport (1 hour away) can be arranged directly through the front desk when you book.
