Da Nang, Vietnam
When people think of Asian beaches Thailand seems to top the list, but that’s a crime since Vietnam has similar island beaches but with far less tourism. This means you can set up on a beach with only a few people around and enjoy the silence and calmness without worrying about some noisy tourists ruining it. we have ever heard from serious Asia globetrotters that Da Nang has some of the best and most underrated beaches in Asia. Definitely check out Da Nang if nice, quaint beaches and a sleepy town are your kind of thing.
Budapest, Hungary
No list of relaxing vacations would be complete with Budapest, Hungary.
