Luxury Halong Bay Cruise

Explore, Luxury Travel, Photo Stories

Hạ Long Bay had always been a dream destination for us, but we feared overcrowding and pollution. To ensure a serene experience, we chose a luxury cruise through Bai Tu Long Bay, spending two nights immersed in its beauty. From kayaking past towering limestone formations to dining in a candlelit cave, every moment felt surreal. Our journey began with a seamless transfer from Hanoi, leading to a tranquil voyage with stunning landscapes, delicious cuisine, and unforgettable adventures on the emerald waters.

Haritha Villas + Spa Review – Is this Hikkaduwa’s Best Boutique Resort?

After 54 days in Sri Lanka — 20 of them unplanned — we made one deliberate decision: end the journey properly. Haritha Villas & Spa, a boutique hilltop retreat five minutes from Hikkaduwa, gave us exactly the finale we needed. Seven private pool villas, a 30-metre infinity pool with views across paddy fields to the coast, and a butler model that puts every other resort service structure to shame. No room service charges, no fixed mealtimes — just a WhatsApp message to Chaminda, and whatever you need appears, wherever you want it. The food is outstanding. The birdsong at dawn is extraordinary. The spa, honestly, you can skip. At around £500 a night for bed and breakfast, Haritha isn't cheap — and we give you the full, unfiltered picture on costs, caveats and who this place is genuinely built for. We've scored it across all five TripWorthIt™ pillars and included everything you need to decide whether this hilltop hideaway belongs on your Sri Lanka itinerary. Spoiler: we left wishing we'd booked three nights. Read the full scored review →
