South East Asia's Lantern Festivals

Fly from the UK to Da Nang, Vietnam, then transfer to Hoi An.

Welcome to Hoi An, where ancient streets glow under a tapestry of lanterns! At De An Hotel, you're perfectly placed to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your stay includes a magical "Hoi An by Night Tour," where you'll wander through the charming lantern-lit alleyways. Time your visit for the Lantern Festival in November, when the town transforms into a sea of vibrant colours. It's a feast for the eyes and the soul and promises a blend of history, culture and luminous charm.

Transfer from Hoi An to Da Nang, then fly to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Next, be whisked away to Chiang Mai, the cultural heart of Thailand. Marvel as the sun kisses the golden spires good morning on a sunrise temple tour, but the real magic happens during the Lantern Festival in November, where thousands of lanterns drift into the night sky, each carrying a wish. It's not just a festival—it's a celestial spectacle! Just remember, if you make a wish, it might just come true, so wish wisely!

Fly from Chiang Mai to Phuket.

Your adventure concludes in the tropical paradise of Phuket, where culture gives way to coastal relaxation and indulgent downtime. You’ll stay at the hillside Mandarava Resort & Spa, surrounded by lush scenery and just moments from the beach. These final days are all about unwinding after the festival experiences, whether that means poolside lounging, sunset cocktails or exploring nearby coves. It’s a perfectly paced finale that lets the magic of the journey linger, sending you home relaxed, inspired and already planning your next escape.
