Holidays for foodies For those who like to experience a country through its food, we have put together two sumptuous itineraries that take in the culinary delights of Vietnam and the fine wines and haute cuisine of South Africa.
Vietnam Gourmet Adventure 14 night privately guided tour
Vietnam is a culinary destination like no other and a must do destination for any dedicated foodie. The Vietnamese treat their food very seriously indeed and their passion for fresh, flavoursome ingredients is evident across the country from the humblest street food vendor to the swankiest restaurant. Starting in Hanoi visit markets overflowing with fresh produce in the company of a local chef before returning to his home for a hands on cookery lesson. Enjoy the city’s fine dining culture and take time to explore the intriguing French colonial quarter and historical sites. Spend three days cruising awe-inspiring Halong Bay with kayaking, tai chi and relaxation on offer. Fly to the beautifully preserved UNESCO ancient town of Hoi An for four nights. Not only is the town a delight to explore but it is also teeming with excellent quality local and international restaurants. Visit the nearby herb village by bicycle and take a street food tour with resident food expert Neville Dean to sample the local Cao Lau noodles and ‘white rose’ Dumplings.

The next morning she will take you on a fascinating food tour in and around Hue to sample local fresh ingredients. Fly to vibrant steamy Saigon for the final three nights of your trip. Journey two hours through lush rice fields to explore the cu chi tunnels and learn how to cook the spicier southern cuisine. Spend a day drifting down the backwaters of the Mekong delta and visit the floating markets. If you’re feeling adventurous spend an exciting final evening on the back of a Vespa checking out some of the best local street food in Saigon.

Foodies get to enjoy one of the world’s most delicious cuisines, while spa lovers are in seventh heaven as Thai spas come as standard with every resort here. There is no shortage of luxury retreats that offer guaranteed peace and relaxation, away from the busy towns and lively nightlife for which Phuket is often associated with. Banyan Tree Phuket, arguably one of the islands most luxurious resorts is tucked away on Bang Tao Bay on the north west of the island. This expansive resort offers private villas each with secluded gardens, salas, sundecks and open-air sunken baths or pools whilst the flagship spa is a destination in itself with its team of exceptional therapists on hand to help you relax. For those looking for a more affordable option, suitable for everyone from honeymooners to families, newcomer Angsana Laguna Phuket will tick that box. Contemporary and stylish, there is plenty to do here from scuba diving to golf and kids will love the lazy river and resident baby elephant.

Phuket also makes the perfect base from which to explore the magnificent surrounding natural scenery. The pretty coves and white sand beaches of Koh Phi Phi were made famous for its scenes filmed at Maya Bay in ‘The Beach’ and settings don’t come much more dramatic than the spectacular limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay where James Bond film ’The Man with the Golden Gun’ was shot. It is amongst these pinnacles you’ll find the island of Koh Yao Noi, home to another one of our favourites – Six Senses Yao Noi. Its plush tree-house style Pool Villas dot the hillside and look out to endlessly picture perfect views. This is a rustic, laid-back resort in one of the world’s most beautiful locations.
