ASIAN GOLDEN SWING QUARTET

Asian Golden Swing Quartet

Coming all the way from Japan — “we play swing jazz for swing dancers.” Loved by dancers across Asia and back by popular demand for VLX 2027, the Asian Golden Swing Quartet return to Vietnam. Follow them at facebook.com/asiangoldenswingquartet.

Where we dance

Palm Garden Resort — our home for VLX 2027.

VLX 2027 returns to Palm Garden Resort, a beachfront resort just minutes from Hội An Ancient Town. Our evening dances, the gala dinner and the late-night sessions all take place here — so we can dance the night away, rain or shine.

It was a big favourite with VLX-ers in 2026 — great food, and every evening dance under one roof, so the dancing goes on until 3am. We can't wait to do it all again.


Accommodation offer

Palm Garden Resort is offering special rates for VLXers (discount varies by room type). If you'd like to stay at the resort, you can reserve your room directly with Palm via this link. Their Reservations team will check availability and confirm directly with you via email or WhatsApp.

Please note: this form is not an online instant-confirmation booking, so no payment is required when submitting the form.

Limited availability — first come, first served. March is Hội An's high season, so if you'd like to stay at Palm, you'd better reserve early.

Website: https://palmgardenresort.com.vn/


Other Accommodation Options

If Palm Garden Resort isn't your pick, we've also curated a list of accommodation options near our main venue to help you plan your VLX weekend.

Please note: These recommendations are not affiliated with Vietnam Lindy Exchange. All bookings must be made directly with the accommodation of your choice.
