Azerai, the new story and brand of resorts, is inviting its discerning, lifestyle-seeking clientele to enjoy immersive escapes in Vietnam with a series of authentic experiences that will touch upon the essence of life and culture in this captivating country.
With a choice of three elegant boutique hotels and resorts in Ke Ga Bay, Can Tho and Hue, Azerai brings the spirit of Vietnam to life.
Azerai Ke Ga Bay is nestled on Vietnam’s scenic southeast coast, just 2.5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City. In this stunning setting, guests can take part in a choice of uplifting activities, or simply unwind amid 4.5 hectares of tropical gardens, stroll along the 5km-long sandy beach, visit local attractions such as Ke Ga Lighthouse, and unwind in the comfort of this boutique retreat, including its chic suites and shimmering seafront pool.
Embark on a tour of monasteries and fruit farms
Head out and discover the natural and cultural wonders of Binh Thuan with a fulfilling four-hour tour.
Explore the area’s rich Buddhist heritage at the enchanting monasteries, temples and pagodas, then take a trip to sustainable fruit farms and help pick fresh produce such as sweet and succulent dragon fruit.
Learn the art of Vietnamese cuisine with a cooking class
Azerai Ke Gay Bay is an organic oasis where chefs grow fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables to craft flavorsome local dishes.
Join the hotel’s culinary experts and learn the art of Vietnamese cuisine, including timeless recipes such as fresh rice paper rolls, caramelised fish, and chicken with lemongrass & chili.
Revive the maritime traditions of Vietnam’s southeast coast
Gazing out across the endless ocean, guests can revive the seafaring spirit of this historic region with authentic maritime crafts such as basket boating and net fishing, or feel the splash of the waves with a choice of exhilarating water sports such as body boarding, windsurfing and kayaking.

Azerai Can Tho, the enchanting natural retreat nestled on a private islet in the Hau River, has revealed a series of experiences that connect guests with the unique culture of the Mekong Delta.
Accessible only by boat, this verdant retreat promises complete seclusion and serenity, surrounded by lush gardens and dramatic banyan trees. With 60 rooms and five pool villas, this is an oasis of pure tranquility.
Take a boat ride deep into the Mekong Delta and embark on a journey of discovery to the remote village of Phu Ly – the gateway to a hidden Khmer temple which is over 350 years old. Ang Kuli, which means “fingers” in English, was built by hand in 1672. Once inside, you will be blessed by a Khmer monk.
Embark on a chocolate journey by boat
Discover the art of Vietnamese chocolate making with this one-of-a-kind boat trip to an organic cacao farm. Witness this time-honoured process, from picking and harvesting the cacao beans to creating the chocolate.
Then return to the resort for a hands-on dessert making class with Azerai Can Tho’s talented chef.
Feel the bustle of Cai Rang floating market
Cai Rang floating market is a thriving hub of trade and commerce in the Mekong Delta.
Board a wooden boat for a 45-minute voyage along the Hau River, passing traditional fishing villages, before reaching the market where you can barter with local traders for a wide range of goods, including fresh tropical fruit.

First constructed in the 1930s as a French colonial residence, this impressive property features a collection of elegant rooms with river views, a lush tropical garden, a soothing saltwater swimming pool, a bar and a brasserie restaurant.
Cross the frontline with a tour of the DMZ
Hue was on the frontline of the Vietnam War (or American War), and the city still bears the scars of this deadly conflict.
Head out to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and explore some iconic wartime sites, including the ancient town of Quang Tri, Hien Luong Bridge, Doc Mieu Firebase and the Vinh Moc Tunnels.
Enjoy a private cruise on the Perfume River
For an exclusive and enchanting experience, take a private cruise down the Perfume River on the hotel’s traditional wooden boat.
Locally built, this 55-foot (17-metre) craft can accommodate up to 12 passengers for a series of serene voyages: an afternoon tea cruise, a sunset cocktail cruise and a dinner cruise.

About Azerai
Azerai is a new story and brand of resorts offering guests simple elegance, refined design, and discreet and attentive service in places of unique beauty and cultural interest. The brand was formed by hotelier Adrian Zecha, and the name is derived from Zecha’s initials and the latter part of a Persian word, caravanserai, which references the storied old inns of the Middle East. Azerai Ke Ga Bay marks the brand’s first beach resort, and follows Azerai La Residence, Hue, a historic city resort overlooking the Perfume River in Vietnam’s former imperial capital, and Azerai Can Tho, a peaceful retreat set on a lush islet in the Mekong Delta.
