A Mekong Delta boutique hotel is the perfect base to explore the slow rhythm of rural life

The Mekong Delta experience is both one of fascination in the variety of lifestyles of the people who call the delta home, as it is one of peace and relaxation, whether floating gently through quiet waterways enjoying the natural beauty and rich wildlife of the region, or relaxing at your Mekong Delta boutique hotel perhaps dining on a menu recommended by the hotelier of their favourite local dishes or unwinding with the help of the hotel’s spa team. A Mekong Delta itinerary is both one of adventure and exploring and one of relaxation and unwinding, all to the rhythm of the ever flowing majestic Mekong river. People have called the Mekong Delta home for 1,000s of years. Thanks largely to the ever widening Mekong river, as it nears the end of its journey across south east Asia to enter the South China Sea. The delta region’s rich, fertile soils have made this area the rice bowl of Vietnam with nearly 50% of the country’s total cereal production coming from here. Fishing is also an important industry in the delta, with nearly 60% of Vietnam’s fishery production coming from the delta, both from aquaculture (fish farms) and wild caught fish. And to complete the menu from the delta’s pantry with something sweet, the delta farmers grow a dizzying array of exotic fruits that are exported to over 70 countries around the world. In fact the Island Lodge Mekong Delta, a Secret Retreats Mekong Delta boutique hotel, is perfectly placed for you to experience these exotic fruits. This Mekong boutique hotel is located on Unicorn island where many of the local families manage fruit orchards growing a variety of fruit throughout the year.
