Some resorts impress visitors with their creative and unique designs including bungalows designed in the shape of rattan baskets and buildings with hanging gardens.
The Hmong Village resort in Quang Ba District, around 50 kilometers northeast of Ha Giang Town in the eponymous province, has 25 bungalows surrounded by green trees and picturesque natural scenery.
One of its highlights is bungalows designed in the shape of rattan baskets that Hmong women sling on their backs to carry rice and other things.
The 20-hectare resort opened its door to tourists in July last year.
All its rooms use eco-friendly materials and have distinctive Hmong looks.
It also has a community guesthouse that can accommodate up to 40 people.
A night’s stay at the bungalows cost from VND2.4 million ($105.31).
On Cat Co beach in the northern port city of Hai Phong, Flamingo Cat Ba Resort attracts visitors with hanging gardens on the sides of its buildings comprising 50,000 trees and vines.
The buildings are connected by a bridge from where visitors can admire the pristine beach and turquoise waters.
The resort has 256 rooms, 60 sky villas and a presidential villa on the top floor.
Fairly close to the resort are tourist attractions such as Cat Ba National Park and Viet Hai ancient village, or visitors can go kayaking or on a cruise in Lan Ha Bay, which is relatively unknown compared to its world-famous cousin, Ha Long Bay.
The resort offers a two-day-one-night package for VND990,000 ($43.44) per person.
An Lam Retreats Ninh Van Bay in the central province of Khanh Hoa, home to resort towns Nha Trang and Cam Ranh, has a restaurant in the shape of a lotus flower on the sea. It is made of wood and bamboo.
The resort is located on a peninsula in Ninh Van Bay near pristine forests, natural streams and a long stretch of coastline that offers privacy and safety.

It has 37 villas built of wood right by the sea with one to three bedrooms. In this picture are three-bedroom villas with private swimming pools overlooking the bay, ideal for family vacations.
Visitors can also go kayaking and on sunset cruises, visit lobster and fish farms, hike by the stream, or simply relax in the spa. The villas cost from VND6.6 million a night.
