In short, it is a feast for the senses. If you have ever wanted to visit a place that appeals to you on many different levels (intellectual, visual, auditory, among many others), you could not have chosen a better place. Halong Bay offers a majestic coastline featuring many islands that seem to float on the water. The coast also has great sand that you can talk about for months after your trip.

This is not your typical sun, surf and sand water adventure. No. It goes much deeper and further. Visiting Halong Bay is like looking into one’s psyche: traces of the past, hints of the future, and a heavy dose of the mysteries of the present being revealed, all in an exploration you won’t soon forget. If you want a truly luxurious stay in Halong Bay, follow the tips below.

luxury as simplicity

There are many ways to define ‘luxury’. In fact, the number of definitions seems to depend only on the number of people making the definition. Still, the vast majority of definitions are grouped around the idea of ​​excess. There is this creeping idea that for something to be luxurious, it has to be more. Halong Bay turns this idea on its head. True luxury is not about heaping portions or chewing more than you can swallow or over-swimming, Halong Bay luxury is more Buddhist in nature. The old Zen maxim of ‘less is more’ is definitely in play when it comes to Halong Bay luxury. There is a certain richness you can’t find anywhere else in watching the mist roll over Halong Bay, slowly swallowing the tops of the islands as you sit on the shore. There is an unmistakable sense of richness that comes from walking up a mountainside and looking out over a green sea dotted with towering limestone islands. Luxury is about simplicity, not excess. Real beauty, like that of a woman, does not come from the gold, sapphire, emerald, and jade ornaments she wears. True beauty comes from her imperfections: quirky smile, off-kilter appearance, awkward laugh. Enjoying Halong Bay and really taking advantage of its essence is the height of luxury. There is no need to prove anything to anyone at any time. Things just are. And that is what is so beautiful and so rare about this place. It is as if nature itself gave the world a rare gift that few people have bothered to know about.

The value of fragile memory

There is a fragile quality to Halong Bay. From its views to the experiences it offers. In a second, you’re walking up a hill to get a better view of the coastline. The next second, fog, rain or something else happens and the view has changed. You are forced to live in the moment, and that is true beauty. Offer a magical snapshot of your own being, one second at a time.
