Victoria Nui Sam Lodge

Top choice in Mekong Delta


Set imperiously on the slopes of Sam Mountain, this rustic lodge wouldn't look out of place in the Alps. Rooms are simply yet tastefully furnished with four-poster beds and include huge balcony terraces for sunset views over the rice fields. The restaurant-bar has prime position at the top of the resort and includes a private dining pavilion for two.
