Lăng Cô Destination
Tucked away near the traditional
Cu Du village in Phu Loc district of Thua
Thien Hue province, the rustic hinter-
land of Laguna Lăng Cô was historically
a favoured holiday retreat for Vietnam-
ese royalty. The destination resonates
with mystique and natural beauty and
is accessible within an hour’s drive from
the airports of both Danang and Hue.
Lăng Cô Bay is today regarded as one
of the most beautiful sites of its kind,
by the World’s Most Beautiful Bays Club.
Pristine sands and sparkling tur-
quoise waters are framed by lush hills
and mountains soaring amidst white
clouds, offering a dramatic setting from
which to explore one of Vietnam’s most
picturesque regions.
Laguna Lăng Cô sits at the cross-
roads of several distinctive UNESCO
World Heritage Sites, including the for-
mer capital of Hue on the shores of

old town of Hoi An, and the ruins of My
Son, a sanctuary featuring a wealth of
temples and monuments with intricate
carvings from the old Cham civilization.
