Planning Your Next Beach Holiday? Check Into These Luxury Resorts In Vietnam And Cambodia

If your diet of pop culture revolves around The Real Housewives, then you’d know that packing for a beach holiday usually involves a major wardrobe situation. Incidentally, the recent barrage of Cannes images on our social media feed is also making a strong case for a luxury beach vacation. If you are having a serious case of wanderlust by now, then have Cambodia and Vietnam on your radar stat, thanks to three new stylish resorts popping up in this part of the world. Here’s why they get our vote: They’re located in underrated locales (yep, no Bali or Phuket); come with beautiful architecture, design and perks (outdoor cinema anyone?); and is even nearer to Singapore than Hong Kong is. Here, we highlight the three beach resorts to consider for your next holiday, plus the items you need to pack.
