When it comes to over-the-top resorts, the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort in Vietnam is one of the best, at a price point that might pleasantly surprise you.

I have clients heading here early next year and the property has been wonderful to work with; the team have truly gone the extra mile working with me to make their stay extra special.

Here’s what else makes it special: The location is incredible, tucked away in a nature reserve that feels completely private, yet still close enough to explore Danang’s culture and charm.

And the activities? Next-level. Michelin-star dining at La Maison 1888, a spa set in the middle of the jungle, and private beachfront access where your only worry is which cocktail to order next.

Trust me—this isn’t your average getaway. Let me take care of the details and make your trip to Vietnam truly unforgettable. You'll receive special perks and amenities when you book through me.

Spring in Victoria, BC, is pure magic. The flowers are blooming, the weather is glorious, and there’s no better place to soak it all in than the iconic Fairmont Empress.

Here’s why I love it: This historic hotel is right on the waterfront, giving you front-row views of the Inner Harbour. Walk through the city’s gardens or settle in for the Empress’s famous Afternoon Tea—it’s been a tradition for over a century.

Need a dose of nature? Visit Butchart Gardens, where spring puts on its best show. Victoria’s coastal trails are perfect for hiking, or you can head out on a whale-watching tour to spot orcas in their natural habitat.
