Where to Stay
With swirling fans and bamboo drapes, La Veranda seeks to create a luxurious tropical retreat. It sports paddle fans, butter-yellow exteriors, whitewashed louvers, and tropical gardens recalling a colonial plantation. Freestanding deluxe villas are the best choice for their sea-facing porches, spacious bathrooms, and cathedral ceilings
Where to Eat
Away from the touristy places by the beach there are many Vietnamese restaurants in Duong Dong.
Where to Go
There are several pagodas and temples around the island that offer insights into Buddhism. In Duong Dong Town there's Sung Hung Pagoda which is surrounded by large trees. A well known monk built Hung Long Tu Pagoda. He chose the site, located 5km from Duong Dong Town, for its peace and tranquillity. There are several other temples dotted around the island which welcome visitors.
The fishing villages of Ham Ninh (East from Duong Dong) and An Thoi (far South) are pleasant working villages and make an interesting short stop.
