Just three hours away from Ho Chi Minh by car, the largest city in the Mekong Delta is worth a weekend trip for its rustic charm, busy floating markets, and quaint historical sights.

5. Azerai Can Tho
Can Tho is a place where time seems to have slowed down. An idyllic place to enjoy this pace of life is Azerai Can Tho, set on a 52-acre island on Hau River and accessible only by boat. It only takes the greater part of the day to explore the above sights. When you are done, while away the day in the resort of 60 one-bedroom villas. Take a dip in the 32-metre-long-pool, sign up for a yoga or pilates reformer class or simply let a skilled therapist pamper you at the spa. Or simply relax amongst the backdrop of mangroves, banyan trees, and lakes. When hungry, take your pick amongst a delectable selection of Vietnamese classics like pho or grilled Western fare at one of two restaurants.
