The only luxury hotel in the centre of the Mekong Delta, the four star Victoria Can Tho Resort blends colonial-style architecture with the natural beauty of the river.
Close to Can Tho town, but a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, the resort lies on the banks of the Hau River, set amidst exotic gardens.
If the Mekong Delta can be described as the fruit bowl or granary of Vietnam, Can Tho, its capital, can be described as its showcase and centrepiece. Everywhere is dominated by the water and the agricultural bounty it makes possible.
Ideal for couples seeking a romantic riverside retreat, families wanting a peaceful base to explore the Mekong Delta’s waterways and countryside, and cultural travelers eager to experience authentic local life.
Victoria Can Tho Resort combines colonial charm, lush gardens, and a serene setting on the Hau River. Guests can enjoy relaxing strolls, intimate dinners, boat trips, and cycling adventures while discovering vibrant floating markets and the region’s natural beauty—all within an elegant and comfortable sanctuary just a few hours from the Cambodian border.

In Our Travellers’ Words
An Epic Adventure Across Southeast Asia
There were moments while I was out and about where I thought that everyone should experience this kind of mindful travel that Experience Travel organises, as it's not backpacking where you tick off the standard party hotspots, and it's not the typical cruise for tourists to visit the standard sightseeing destinations, but an experience where I really felt I got to know the countries, meet great people and do fun stuff that most people miss.
Unforgettable Vietnam Memories
From the moment we landed in Vietnam to the second we left, we made magical family memories. We left some of our hearts in Vietnam. The people, the culture and the experiences ETG pulled together made our whole experience unforgettable. They took care of everything. Listened to what we like in a holiday, encouraged us to think broadly, and surpassed all expectations with their local relationships and ensured we were looked after.
With ETG, we have visited extraordinary places
... stayed in wondrous hotels, met fascinating everyday people, listened to varied opinions, and learned much about places far away. I couldn't do that on my own.
