I’m thrilled to announce What About Vietnam is now recommended in the Vietnam Lonely Planet Experiences Guide for 22/23 - Thank you for your support.

Today the show welcomes my lovely guest Alexandra Hepworth to talk about luxury travel in Vietnam.

Alexandra lived in Vietnam for 9 years up to 2020, and worked with some of the big brands such as the Fusion Group;  The Vietnam Tourism board, the Caravelle Saigon and  the Hyatt Regency in Phnom Penh.  She now resides in Bogota, Colombia. 

Together we take you through some of the big brands you may follow as a luxury traveller. We think you will be pleasantly surprised at the value for money and opulence you can get in some of these hotels and resorts.
Alexandra has a good grasp of the scope of luxury experiences available across the country and her descriptions of the hotel resort experiences will have you booking your next flight. 

Alexandra works for AZA Travel, a bespoke Travel company, specialising in curating “High End” luxury travel.  You can contact her direct through AZA. While we wish we could have covered all of the luxury properties and experiences in Vietnam, we had to limit it to Alexandra’s favourites which I think after listening you will agree was worth waiting for.
If you’d like some insights into YOUR favourite brands - This is the show for you!
