QUẢNG NAM — Among several sites in Việt Nam to have been chosen, the ancient town of Hội An has been voted the 20th best city in the world by readers of the US magazine Travel + Leisure.
Readers ranked the cities based on factors such as the quality of hotels and restaurants, cultural heritage, attractions, cuisine, and COVID-19 protocols.
The ancient town used to be included in Travel+Leisure’s list of best cities in 2019.
Hội An was a busy international commercial port from the 16th to 19th centuries, attracting merchant ships from China and Japan. It is a World Heritage site recognised by UNESCO.
Recently, Dubai-based Time Out magazine has also listed Hội An among "the very best places" to travel to in July with warm weather.
"As the monsoon rains fall in Hà Nội and HCM City, savvy travelers in Việt Nam head to the central coast where the weather is dry and warm," the magazine said.
In the category of the top 25 best islands in the world this year, Phú Quốc in the southern province of Kiên Giang is in 14th place.
“Readers' enthusiasm for Việt Nam’s Phú Quốc has earned it a place on this list thanks to its white-sand beaches and delectable food. The island is renowned for its production of fish sauce and peppercorns, as well as its coral reefs and dense tropical forest,” wrote Travel+Leisure.
Besides destinations, Việt Nam also has two accommodation facilities included in Travel+Leisure’s World's Best Awards of 2022.
Six Senses Côn Đảo, in the southern province of Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu, is placed in 51st. One voter said that the mile-long white-sand beach that runs along this tucked-away wellness resort is "just paradise."
“With the brand's focus on wellness, it's fair to expect a spa experience that will melt away every inch of stress.”
The US magazine also honoured Capella Hà Nội hotel in the top 15 best city hotels in Asia. The hotel also once entered the IT 2022 list of the world’s leading luxury hotels and was named one of the "100 Best New Hotels in the World.”
