Ben Tre – A land of water, coconut palms, and slow living
Located in the heart of the Mekong Delta, Ben Tre is a destination for traveling differently. Here, the landscape is shaped by water and lush vegetation. The river’s branches irrigate the land, nourish the orchards, and define a way of life deeply connected to nature.
Renowned for its endless coconut groves, Ben Tre offers a peaceful, almost secluded atmosphere.

It is an ideal place to experience the Mekong in its most authentic and unspoiled form.
Essential experiences in Ben Tre
Discovering Ben Tre often begins with a boat ride along narrow canals aboard small local vessels. Water flows slowly beneath nipa palms, stilt houses appear around each bend, and the silence is gently broken by everyday sounds—a distant engine, a burst of laughter, the soft splash of a paddle.
On land, paths lead through farming villages, family-run workshops, and tropical orchards. Coconut palms, omnipresent, shape the local economy and traditional know-how. Visitors observe, exchange, and gradually understand. Encounters feel natural and unforced, often taking place around a shared meal or in the shade of a tree.
In Ben Tre, the experience is never spectacular. It is sensory, human, and deeply calming. Here, the traveler adapts to the rhythm of the place—never the other way around.
