Paradise, found. 😍 . . . Only recently opened to tourism due to prior military restrictions (the island still acts as a military base), Vietnam's Cham Islands are a literal unspoiled paradise - at least for now. Read more about our experience on this majestic, off-the-grid island in our last post, and see more in our Vietnam IG Highlight! 🇻🇳🌴👆🏻👆🏼 #travelinglamas #chamisland#chamislands . . . . . . . . . . . . #vietnamnow #myvietnam #vietnamcharm #visitvietnam #beautifulvietnam #islandhopping #islandlife #islandgoals #vietnamisland #vietnamislands #vietnameseisland #travelcouple #travelcouples #marriedtravelcouple #travelcouplebloggers #travelcouplegoals #travelcouplelife #travelcoupleinspo #travelcoupleinspiration #travelcouplevibes #travelcoupledestinations #coupletravel #coupletravels #coupletravellers #coupletravelgoals

➵ Cham Islands, Vietnam ➵ . . . A hop, skip and a jump off the coast of Hoi An (Central Vietnam), Cham Islands are a literal unspoiled paradise - at least for now. Wi-fi is weak at best, and there's absolutely nothing to do except relax on beautiful beaches, go swimming, snorkeling or diving in the turquoise-emerald waters, and soak in the island's stunning natural scenery. At present only a smattering of rustic homestays are available as accommodations, although we did see at least 1 sign advertising a "coming soon" luxury boutique hotel. Our advice? Take advantage of the fact that this place is still almost entirely off the radar (literally and figuratively in regards to wi-fi connection 😂), and go NOW before this changes! Many visitors go for a day trip only and while this is very easy to do from Hoi An, we recommend staying 1 or 2 nights to fully explore the island and catch up on some R&R. We personally stayed at Homestay Ngo Khanh and highly recommend it - including the amazing food! We had the BEST dinner with plenty of meat, seafood and vegetarian options. . . . *PRO TIP* If you have a motorbike, take it with you on the public ferry! And if you don't already have one, consider renting one in Hoi An. You'll appreciate the freedom in getting around the island, plus - you can explore parts most visitors don't even know about. 🏍🏍🏍 . . .

Misty mornings on Central Vietnam’s Hai Van Pass. 🇻🇳💫 #travelinglamas #haivanpass #haivanpassvietnam #haivanpass☁️☁️☁️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vietnamnow #vietnamcharm #myvietnam #visitvietnam #vietnamtourism #vietnamtravel #vietnamtravels #beautifulvietnam #amazingvietnam #vietnamlife #vietnamlove #travelcouple #travelcouples #marriedtravelcouple #travelcouplebloggers #travelcouplegoals #travelcouplelife #travelcoupleinspo #travelcoupleinspiration #travelcouplevibes #travelcoupledestinations #coupletravel #coupletravels #coupletravellers #coupletravelgoals

Pool days & pool baes. 💙 . . . After an adventurous morning exploring central Vietnam's Son Tra Mountain on scooter, we treated ourselves to an afternoon of rest, relaxation and ocean views at the beautiful Son Tra Resort. Bonus: we literally had the entire pool & beachfront to ourselves for a good 2-3 hours (alongside fellow traveling couple & Da Nang partners-in-crime @moe_nodshoppers + @solyons 😘), which made the idyllic peninsula that much more of a serene escape! Highly recommend spending an afternoon (if not an overnight) at #SonTraResort if you're headed to the peninsula, an easy day trip from Da Nang in central Vietnam.

Life really is so much about the journey, not the destination. 💙 Which is never more true than on an epic road trip! Like our recent ride through central Vietnam's unspoilt Son Tra Peninsula. Riding up the mountain on winding, narrow roads, passing through rolling clouds with jungle on one side, ocean on the other, there's nothing to do but soak in the scenery, be present and truly appreciate the moment. And of course, stop for views. 😍 See more from our day trip up beautiful Son Tra Mountain in our Vietnam IG Highlight! 🇻🇳👆🏻👆🏼 #travelinglamas #sontra #sontramountain #sontrapeninsula . . .

Walks to remember. 💕 . . Happy Sunday! How are you spending your lazy (or otherwise) Sunday today? . . 📍If you make it to Da Nang, a laid back beach town (and rapidly growing digital nomad hot spot) on the central coast of Vietnam, you'll undoubtedly hit My Khe Beach. It's a beautiful stretch of sand for a proper beach day, including loungers and palapas for rent. But a few kilometers north is Man Thai Beach (also know as Man Thai Fishing Village) which is also absolutely worth a visit - and where we took this shot! Go in the very early morning (around 6am) to catch the bustling activity of fisherman out in the water in their famous round basket boats, and come back around 10 or 11am to enjoy the beach and go for a swim in the clear emerald water. It's virtually empty at Man Thai beach at this time and you'll likely have the whole place to yourself! #travelinglamas #danang #danangvietnam . . . . . . . . . . . . #centralvietnam #vietnamnow #vietnamcharm #myvietnam #visitvietnam #vietnamtourism #vietnamtravel #vietnamtravels #beautifulvietnam#amazingvietnam #vietnamlife #vietnamlove #travelcouple #travelcouples #marriedtravelcouple #travelcouplebloggers #travelcouplegoals #travelcouplelife #travelcoupleinspo #travelcoupleinspiration #travelcouplevibes #travelcoupledestinations #coupletravel #coupletravels #coupletravellers #coupletravelgoals
