An Lam Retreats Saigon River

The journey in starts at a 19th-century iron bridge in Old Saigon, where a speedboat picks you up and carries you 25 minutes upriver to a forested stretch of shoreline. This intimate luxury resort arranges its suites and villas, all natural wood and stone with private sun decks, through tropical gardens with enough space between them that you forget neighbors exist. Butler service runs around the clock, and the pool villas come with their own plunge pools.
