The Best Hotels To Book In Da Nang, Vietnam
Da Nang, Vietnam’s
fifth largest city, has no shortage of hotels catering to different
travelers’ needs. In fact, it can be a little difficult for firsT time visitors
to decide where to stay, given the abundance of options. Here are nine hotels
and resorts in Da Nang that are a cut above the rest.
Naman Retreat
Resort
Naman Retreat, located on a beach roughly halfway between Da
Nang and ancient Hoi An, is five-star resort that promises a thoroughly
relaxing and calming stay away from the bustle of the city center. Spend a day
(or a week) at Naman Retreat’s Pure Spa, which offers multi-day wellness
programs in addition to the usual spa treatments, or indulge at one of their
four beautifully designed, bamboo-clad restaurants and bars. Guests have the
option of staying the spacious Babylon Rooms, which come with private balconies
and luxurious fittings, or in the large pool and beach villas. Service is
detailed and personalized, and you can request anything from a personal DJ to
hiking trips in the surrounding countryside.
Sofia Hotel
Hotel
This boutique hotel in the Son Tra district of Da Nang
offers a great combination of comfortable, stylish rooms with convenient
location. Sofia Hotel is a mere five minutes away from the beach, and
surrounded by all the amenities of the city. Although the decor is simple, and
the facilities are typical of a three-star hotel, Sofia Hotel shines thanks to
its excellent service – the friendly staff speak decent English and will
accommodate requests for anything from special breakfast items to arranging a
private car for sightseeing.
Fusion Maia Da Nang
Resort, Hotel
At the five-star Fusion Maia Da Nang, there are no ordinary
hotel rooms, only private pool villas which come all-inclusive with daily spa
treatments. To add to that feeling of total relaxation, breakfast is served any
time you wish – whether at sunrise, or even in the evening. The food and drinks
on offer in the dining room and bar are a fusion of traditional local
ingredients and international flavors. A shuttle bus to Hoi An makes this a
great location from which to explore both towns.
The Ocean Villas
Resort
For a more athletic spin on the usual beachside experience,
head to The Ocean Villas, another great resort on the coast between Da Nang and
Hoi An. The Da Nang Golf Club is right next door, and boasts one of the world’s
best new golf courses, a driving range, shop, and professional training
studios. The resort itself offers a beach club with canoes, windsurfing boards
and other watersports equipment for hire, as well as a tennis court. Cool down
after a day of activity at the fusion White Caps Restaurant. Guests can choose
to stay in one- to five-bedroom villas.
Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort
Resort, Hotel
Part of the Intercontinental group, the Danang Sun Peninsula
Resort is a hillside resort on Son Tra Peninsula, northwest of the city. The
resort is a magnificent sight from afar, with its Vietnamese-influenced white
buildings scattered across the lush, green hillside. The elegant design details
continue inside, with lattice-framed mirrors, traditional architectural elements
carved from dark wood, and sleek modern furniture. Expect to enjoy the high
standard of service of a typical Intercontinental hotel, but in an exceptional
setting, with almost every room enjoying panoramic ocean views.
Ba Na Hills Mountain Resort French Village
Resort, Hotel
One of the quirkier accommodation options in Da Nang, the Ba
Na Hills Mountain Resort French Village hotel combines European architectural
styles and fantasy elements in a manner reminiscent of Portmeirion, Wales. The
building exterior features faux-stone turrets, gothic embellishments, and,
strangely enough, a wall of what appear to be turn-of-the-century Parisian
apartments. Within the resort area, you will also find a Buddhist pagoda,
shrines dedicated to the local folk religion, a 100-year-old manicured garden,
and a Jules Verne-inspired themed park. The hotel rooms are comfortable and
well-maintained, but the main draw of the place is the whimsical atmosphere.
Vinpearl Danang Resort
Resort
The pristine beaches of Da Nang are some of the city’s best
attractions, so the large number of beach resorts should come as no surprise.
Vinpearl Premium Da Nang is situated on the famous Non Nuoc beach, between the
Marble Mountains and the sea. Vinpearl offers, among the many beach resorts,
one of the largest ranges of accommodation options. Guests can choose between
garden, pool, ocean, and panoramic views in their rooms, which go from basic
King and Twin Rooms to the luxurious 120㎡ Royal Suite. 39 private beachfront
villas are also available, for both short stays and long term rental.
Frangipani Boutique Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
This
charming, 10-room hotel in eastern Da Nang is only 350m away from the beach.
The building feels like a large, friendly family home, with bright, open spaces
and a lap pool in the lobby. With clean, minimalist furnishings, personalized
service and an option of a homemade Vietnamese or English breakfast, Frangipani
is good for families and groups looking for comfort and convenience.
