Golf Club and Montgomerie Links, and visit the UNESCO Heritage listed town of Hoi An. There will also be time to indulge in some of the luxuries Fusion Maia has to offer.

THE GOLF COURSESTHE GOLF COURSESSKY LAKE RESORT & GC Sky Lake Golf Club is located at the Van Son Lake areaand is 45 minutes from central Hanoi. Sky LakeResort & Golf Club is made up of two 18-hole PGAstandard courses and an on-site golf academy. Theproject is a master plan from Korean investors withgolf course design by Robert Painter (Kingsbarns GolfLinks, UK) and Ronald Leck (Sky 72 Golf Club,Korea).

LAGUNA LANG COThis is a Championship Golf Course designed by Nick Faldo. Set in a stunning location, the course weaves between trees, over rice paddy fields and streams, through impressive rock features and alongside the beach. Every one of these environments makes for a memorable golf experience and gives the golf course a true sense of place.

DANANGThis Greg Norman designed course is considered to be one of Vietnam’s best. It is built on the sandy loam soil of China Beach and is a gently undulating and well-bunkered course. The fairways are lined with pines and wind can be a factor.

THE GOLF COURSESTHE GOLF COURSESMONTGOMERIE LINKSThis links style course was designed by Colin Montgomerie and is

situated in a beachscape of sandy dunes and wispy Casuarinas. It has been designed to capitalize on its close proximity to the warm, tranquil East Sea and famed Marble Mountains, which are clearly visible from various points on the 18-hole course. The sandy soil, wind-blown dunes, and indigenous vegetation combine to create the framework for a very strong links-style golf course that is a sheer delight to play.

PHOKEETHRA GOLF CLUBThe Sofitel-managed Phokeethra Country Club, Angkor Wat, adds to the world class golf now available in Cambodia. The golf course hosted the 2009 Johnnie Walker Classic and 2010 Cambodian Open. The course reflects much of the Cambodian culture and history. For example between the 9th green and 10th tee is a restored 'Roluh' bridge, which is also the iconic image used in the course's logo, dating back to the 11th century Khmer empire. A challenging championship caliber layout features water on all but one hole and concludes with the signature double water carry 18th-hole that offers a daunting final shot into a challenging island green

ANGKOR GOLF RESORT This Nick Faldo designed course was the host of the 2012 Cambodian Open. The many strategically placed bunkers and tricky, water hazards require thinking on every hole to score well.

SIGHTSEEINGSIGHTSEEING

HUEA boat trip on the romantically named Perfume River visits

Hue’s best-known religious site, Thien Mu Pagoda. Return to dry land to visit the Imperial Citadel from where

the Nguyen Dynasty ruled between 1802 and 1945. After access the Ngo Mon Gate, you will take in the Purple

Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was reserved for the Nguyen royal family from the 18th century until the mid-1900s. Unfortunately, American bombing in 1968 in response to a communist takeover of Hue flattened most of the city. As you can see, only a few buildings are survived such as the Thai Hoa Temple, Can Thanh Temple, The Mieu, and Hieu Lam Cac, but all the remains make a well worth visit.

HOI ANHoi An, is an old port town from the 10th century. Parts of the

town retains the old world feel from centuries past with narrow streets and a quaint mix of architecture including pagodas, temples, ancient tiled bridges and wells. In addition to the many monuments, the town has a wide array of delightful shops and roadside cafes.

In the evening the town is transformed as all the lanterns are lit and numerous restaurants open.
