Done all the touristy bits of Vietnam? Then try the newly refurbished AVANI Quy Nhon, which is located 320km south of Da Nang (there are daily trains servicing this route). This idyllic resort, sandwiched between a private beach and orchard covered mountains, now sports a brand new look that’s fresh and contemporary, from its lobby and public areas to the rooms and restaurants. The deluxe rooms and junior suites each has an oversized glass bay window along with either a balcony or a terrace – all overlooking the sea. The open bathroom now comes with rain shower, and there’s WiFi everywhere. The resort also houses a range of facilities, including a fresh water swimming pool, a gym and the AVANISPA, which features a Japanese dry sand and salt sauna.
Rooms from USD120 (about RM443).

Here’s how you can make the most of the afternoon between the 12noon checkout time and your late night flight. Get a day pass into Canggu Club (only ten minutes from Seminyak) and you and your family will be sorted. There’s the Splash Water Park (supervised by fully trained life guards) to occupy the kids, and the Cubby House Kids Club to take care of the younger ones. For you, there’s a fitness centre, a lap pool, a spa, shower facilities, three restaurant choices including a sports bar, and free WiFi. Other facilities include a bowling alley, a trampoline centre and a tennis centre. Of course, your luggage will be stored securely until you’re ready to leave.
Day pass: IDR300,000 per adult (about RM84); IDR180,000 per child (about RM50)
