The stretch between Da Nang and Hoi An – just 30 km apart – offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, pristine beaches, cultural charm, and laid-back vibes.

Why Da Nang – Hoi An is Perfect for Relaxed Travelers

Direct international flights into Da Nang International Airport (DAD)
Golden sandy beaches with almost no waves (perfect for floating all day)

A huge variety of luxury yet affordable private pool villas and beachfront resorts


Top Relaxing Activities in Da Nang – Hoi An

1. Beach Bliss at My Khe & An Bang Beach

My Khe Beach (Da Nang) was named by Forbes as one of the six most attractive beaches on the planet. The water is calm, warm, and unbelievably clear. Spend your days doing absolutely nothing on a sun lounger with a fresh coconut or cold Larue beer.

Just 25 minutes south, An Bang Beach in Hoi An offers a more bohemian, quieter vibe. Beach clubs like The DeckHouse, Soul Kitchen, or La Plage play chill music, serve excellent cocktails, and let you swing in hammocks all afternoon.

2. Floating Lanterns & Sunset on the Thu Bon River (Hoi An)

Nothing screams “relaxation” more than a gentle sunset boat ride in Hoi An Ancient Town. Drift along the Thu Bon River as the sky turns orange-pink, then release your own glowing lantern with a wish. The entire experience lasts about 60–90 minutes and feels like meditation on water.

3. Coconut Basket Boat Ride in Bay Mau Forest

Skip the crowded touristy spots and head to the serene Bay Mau Coconut Forest (7 km from Hoi An center). Sit back in a round bamboo basket boat while a local rower gently paddles you through peaceful green tunnels of water coconut palms. The famous “basket boat dance” performance is fun, but you can also request a calm, quiet ride – perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking tranquility.

4. Spa & Wellness Day

Both Da Nang and Hoi An are packed with world-class spas. Treat yourself to a 90-minute herbal steam + hot stone massage + floral bath package (usually only $25–50 USD). Top picks:

Fusion Maia Da Nang (unlimited spa treatments included in room rate)
Anantara Hoi An Spa
Nashi Spa & Wellness (An Bang Beach)

5. Morning Yoga & Coffee with Ocean View

Start your day slowly with beachfront yoga sessions (many resorts and cafés offer free or $5–10 classes at 7 AM). Follow it with Vietnam’s famous coconut coffee (cà phê cốt dừa) at one of the scenic cafés:
The Espresso Station (An Bang)
Nối Café (My Khe Beach)
The Hill Station (Hoi An)

6. Cycling Through Rice Fields & Villages

Rent an electric bike or classic bicycle (only $3–6/day) and pedal leisurely through endless green rice paddies between Da Nang and Hoi An. Stop at Tra Que Vegetable Village or Cam Thanh Village for fresh herbal tea and foot massage by local farmers.
