Where to Stay in Da Nang — Best Hotels & Areas
Curated by Our Guild Explorers · Updated August 2026
Da Nang has become the most comfortable beach base in Vietnam, and the choice is essentially between walking and space. The My Khe strip along Vo Nguyen Giap puts a wide beach across a flat boulevard and hundreds of restaurants, cafes and pharmacies behind you. Non Nuoc, a few minutes south, trades that walkability for the big resort pools and the Marble Mountains on the doorstep. The Son Tra peninsula north of the city is spectacular and entirely isolated. Below are Da Nang’s most reliable hotels by style, each with an honest note and a Book Me link straight to Trip.com.
Choosing Your Neighbourhood
Where you sleep shapes the whole trip. Here is the honest lay of the land.
My Khe, Non Nuoc, the city or Son Tra?
For most older American travellers My Khe and the An Thuong quarter behind it is the right base: the beach is directly across a flat, well-lit boulevard, and there are restaurants, cafes, pharmacies and massage parlours within a level ten-minute walk, so you are never dependent on a taxi. Non Nuoc Beach, five to fifteen minutes further south, trades that for space, quiet and the large resort pools — choose it if you plan to stay on the property, but budget for a car every time you want dinner elsewhere. The Han River city centre suits travellers who came for markets, museums, the Dragon Bridge and day trips rather than sand, and it is the cheapest of the three. The Son Tra peninsula is dramatic and utterly cut off — wonderful for a short indulgent stay, less so as a whole holiday. Hoi An is about forty minutes south by car, and the two make an easy pairing.
Luxury
Da Nang’s top tier splits between a dramatic hillside on the peninsula and the flat, walkable resorts on the beach — pick according to whether you value the view or your knees more.
InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort by IHG
Bill Bensley draped this resort down a jungled hillside in four tiers — Heaven, Sky, Earth and Sea — joined by a small funicular railway that spares knees the hundred-metre drop to the beach. The black-and-white lacquer aesthetic, all conical hats and bamboo, has aged into something genuinely iconic. The private cove is calm and swimmable, and the langur monkeys in the surrounding nature reserve are a real morning event rather than a brochure promise. Be clear-eyed about the trade: it is on the Son Tra peninsula, some twenty-five minutes from the My Khe beach strip and forty from a bowl of mi quang in town, so it suits travellers who intend to stay put.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa
Recently renamed from Sheraton Grand Danang Resort & Convention Center, and the new name is the honest one: this is a leisure resort that happens to have ballrooms. The headline is a two-hundred-and-fifty-metre infinity pool, the longest in Da Nang, which means you can actually swim lengths rather than shuffle around other guests. The grounds are laid out flat and wide, a genuine advantage over the peninsula properties if stairs or slopes are a concern, and there are five restaurants. The Marble Mountains are ten minutes away, and the lift inside them makes the summit temples reachable without the hundred and fifty steps.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Boutique
Small, design-led properties cluster in My Khe and An Thuong at prices that would be mid-range anywhere in America, with a rooftop pool as the near-universal signature.
Chicland Hotel Da Nang Beach
A green-draped tower of raw concrete and hanging plants, designed around natural ventilation and local materials rather than marble and gilt — the sort of place that wins architecture prizes and still gets the towels right. Rooms face the sea across the boulevard, and the rooftop infinity pool is the reason most guests book. Everything is a short, flat stroll: the beach across the road, the cafes and restaurants of An Thuong two blocks behind. Ask for a high floor, since the lower ones catch traffic noise from Vo Nguyen Giap.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Naman Retreat
The bamboo pavilions here are the most photographed contemporary architecture in central Vietnam, and the effect in person is calming rather than showy — filtered light, moving air, no glass between you and the garden. The spa is open-sided, set among stone and greenery, with a long treatment list. It is a small, low-rise property on a quiet southern beach, which means little in the way of nightlife and a great deal in the way of sleep. Da Nang airport is twenty-five minutes north; Hoi An’s Ancient Town is about the same distance south.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Budget & Value
Da Nang is unusually generous at the bottom of the market, where roughly forty to sixty dollars a night still buys a sea view, a rooftop pool and breakfast included.
Sala Danang Beach Hotel
A tidy modern mid-rise that quietly outperforms its price, with a rooftop pool and bar that would be a headline feature at three times the rate. Rooms are compact but properly finished, with real windows and reliable air conditioning — not always a given at this level in Vietnam. The beach is a genuinely short, flat walk, and the surrounding streets are dense with seafood restaurants where a good dinner runs to a few dollars. Breakfast is included and generous. Do not expect resort polish; do expect competence and cheerfulness.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Diamond Sea Hotel
One of the older established four-stars on the beach road, and its chief asset is unchanged: rooms that look straight out over My Khe, at a price that elsewhere buys a view of a car park. The rooftop pool and the upper-floor restaurant make the most of the same panorama. Furnishings show their years in places, so this is a value pick rather than a design pick, but the staff are long-tenured and the location could not be better for walking to the beach or the seafront cafes. Request a sea-view category explicitly — the city-facing rooms are a lesser experience.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Family-friendly
The Vo Nguyen Giap beach strip is built for multi-generational travel, with private-pool villas and properly staffed kids’ clubs rather than the token playrooms found elsewhere in Vietnam.
Premier Village Danang Resort Managed by Accor
Every unit here is a villa with its own pool, which is precisely the configuration that makes a three-generation trip work — grandparents get a quiet sitting room and a door that closes, grandchildren get water they can splash in without disturbing anyone. The resort runs between the beach and the mouth of the Han River, so there is sand on one side and a promenade on the other, and buggies circulate constantly, so the distances never become a problem. The kids’ club is properly staffed rather than a token playroom, and the resort is a regular in family-resort awards.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Pullman Danang Beach Resort
Long the dependable family choice on this beach, and the kids’ club is the reason — parents single it out for warmth with small children rather than mere supervision. The layout is low-rise and garden-set, so nothing requires a long march, and the beach is directly in front rather than across a road. For older travellers this is the sweet spot: resort facilities and a real beach, but you can still walk out of the gate into An Thuong for dinner. The property is still investing, with a padel court added alongside the pool.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Adults-only
Da Nang has no strictly adults-only hotel, and we checked carefully rather than take a booking-site filter at its word — the properties that appear under that label are couples-oriented hotels that admit children, or backpacker hostels. The practical substitute is a resort with a designated adults-only pool, and the Hyatt Regency Danang in our Spa & Pool section below is the clearest example in the city. The live listings are here if you would like to check for yourself.
Browse adults-only stays in Da Nang ›Pet-friendly
We could not verify a single hotel in Da Nang that both publishes a pet policy and belongs in this guide — every branded property we checked refuses animals outright, including the InterContinental and the Crowne Plaza, and the pet-welcoming addresses that surface online are homestays and private villas with unconfirmed policies. Rather than invent one, the honest guidance is this: travellers bringing a dog to Da Nang should expect to book a private villa or homestay and confirm the policy directly with the owner in writing. The current listings are below.
Browse pet-friendly stays in Da Nang ›Beachfront
Beachfront here genuinely means it — the best properties open onto the sand with no road to cross, unlike the seafront towers on the far side of Vo Nguyen Giap.
Furama Resort Danang
Vietnam’s original international beach resort and still the grande dame of this coastline — colonial-modern architecture, mature frangipani and palm shade, and a lagoon pool that opens straight onto the sand. Three pools mean you can always find a quiet one, and the beach frontage is direct, with no road to cross. It is also the rare Vietnamese resort offering a genuine all-inclusive package covering buffet breakfast, set lunches, afternoon tea, seafood dinners and local drinks — worth pricing out. The service culture is old-school Vietnamese hospitality: unhurried, formal and very good at remembering your name.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Le Sands Oceanfront Danang Hotel
A newer oceanfront tower whose whole design premise is the view — the rooms face the water, and the upper floors take in the sweep from Son Tra’s green headland down the length of My Khe. The rooftop pool sits high enough that swimming feels like floating above the bay. Being on the northern stretch, the beach in front is noticeably less crowded than the central section, while the Dragon Bridge and the riverfront restaurants are a ten-minute taxi ride. It is a four-star rather than a resort, so expect a good hotel with a great view rather than extensive grounds.
Book Me on Trip.com ›All-inclusive & Resort
Vietnam has almost no Caribbean-style all-inclusives, so Da Nang’s version is largely ‘wellness-inclusive’ — daily spa treatments folded into the rate. Furama, above, is the one property here offering a conventional food-and-drink package.
TIA Wellness Resort
The closest thing Da Nang has to a true all-inclusive, though the currency is wellness rather than cocktails: the rate covers two spa treatments every night of your stay, eighty minutes per person per day, plus daily guided yoga and breathwork. Every accommodation is a private-pool villa, and breakfast is served whenever you happen to want it rather than by a clock — a considerable kindness when jet lag has you awake at four. Formerly Fusion Maia, it has run this model since 2007 and the therapists are correspondingly practised. In fairness, the resort itself notes that an unfinished neighbouring building is visible from parts of the property.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang
The Fusion group’s flagship on this coast, running the same wellness-inclusive philosophy: spa access and a full programme of guided practice built into the rate rather than billed at checkout. Accommodation scales from garden-view suites right up to five-bedroom beachfront villas, so it handles a couple and an extended family without strain. The spa is among the most highly regarded in Vietnam, and there is a proper kids’ club and tennis courts, which distinguishes it from the strictly grown-up TIA. It sits on Non Nuoc, between Da Nang and Hoi An.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Spa & Pool
This is Da Nang’s deepest strength. Even mid-priced hotels have rooftop infinity pools, while the Non Nuoc resorts compete openly on pool count and spa scale.
Hyatt Regency Danang Resort and Spa
Five separate pools is the headline, and crucially one of them is designated adults-only — the single most useful amenity in Da Nang for travellers who want to swim in peace while families enjoy the slide pool elsewhere on the property. The spa runs a full treatment menu daily. The resort is large but sensibly zoned, so the quiet corners are genuinely quiet, and the beach frontage at Non Nuoc is wide and clean. The Marble Mountains are close enough to visit before breakfast and be back for a swim.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Danang Marriott Resort & Spa, Non Nuoc Beach Villas
The most recent addition to the Non Nuoc cluster, and it shows — crisp finishes, large villas, and most of them with their own pool, which for older travellers means swimming without an audience or a walk. The spa is full-service and the resort has the space to feel uncrowded even in high season. Sitting at the southern end of the beach, it is the calmest of the big-brand options, with a long unbroken stretch of sand and very little passing traffic. Bonvoy members should note that it books on points, which can make the villa categories unexpectedly attainable.

Da Nang Hotel FAQ
The questions travellers ask most before booking a room in Da Nang.
What is the best area to stay in Da Nang?
My Khe Beach and the An Thuong quarter behind it, for almost everyone — the sand is across a flat boulevard and hundreds of restaurants and shops are within a level ten-minute walk. Choose Non Nuoc, a few minutes south, if you want a large resort with big pools and intend to stay on the property; the Han River city centre if you came for markets and day trips rather than the beach; and the Son Tra peninsula only for a short, indulgent, entirely self-contained stay.
Should I stay in Da Nang or Hoi An?
Many travellers do both, and they are only about forty minutes apart by car. Da Nang is the better beach base — wider sand, bigger resorts, an international airport and more choice at every price. Hoi An is the more atmospheric town, with the lantern-lit Ancient Town and the tailors. A common and sensible pattern is three or four nights on the Da Nang beach and two or three in Hoi An, or a Da Nang base with a day trip in.
Does Da Nang have all-inclusive resorts?
Barely, and not in the Caribbean sense. Furama Resort Danang offers a genuine food-and-drink all-inclusive package, and it is the exception. What Da Nang does have is ‘wellness-inclusive’ resorts — TIA Wellness Resort includes two spa treatments per person per day in the rate, and Fusion Resort & Villas builds spa access into the price. Always read what is actually included before booking.
When is the best time to stay on Da Nang beach?
February to August, and the sweet spot is February to May, when it is warm and dry without the fierce heat of June and July. From September to November central Vietnam is wet and prone to typhoons, and the sea turns rough. See our month-by-month guide to the best time to visit Vietnam for the full calendar.
Are there adults-only or pet-friendly hotels in Da Nang?
No, on both counts, and we would rather say so plainly than list a property that does not qualify. Da Nang has no strictly adults-only hotel; the nearest equivalent is the adults-only pool at the Hyatt Regency Danang. Every branded hotel we checked refuses pets outright, so travellers with a dog should look at private villas and homestays and confirm the policy in writing with the owner.
