Vietnam Beach Bliss – 5 Days

Upon your arrival at Da Nang International Airport, your private driver will welcome you and take you to your resort in Hoi An. Check in and spend the rest of your afternoon relaxing by the pool or swimming in the sea at An Bang Beach. 

Today is yours to do absolutely nothing—or everything. Lounge under the palm trees, sip a fresh coconut, enjoy spa treatments at your resort, or stroll along the pristine sands of An Bang Beach. Optional activities include paddleboarding, parasailing, or a casual bike ride along the coast. For dinner on your side, explore the nearby beachfront restaurants or take a short drive to Hoi An for a sunset cocktail and riverside dining.

Start your morning with a leisurely breakfast at your accommodation, soaking in the peaceful coastal atmosphere. Around mid-morning, set off for a memorable half-day cultural excursion to Cam Thanh coconut village, a short drive from Hoi An. On arrival, hop aboard a traditional Vietnamese basket boat, locally known as a thung chai. These round bamboo boats, once used during wartime, are now an iconic part of life in the coastal fishing villages.

As you gently are guided through the calm, palm-shaded waterways of the coconut forest, enjoy the serene beauty of the landscape and learn about the unique eco-system that supports both the local people and wildlife. Your local guide will share stories about the village’s history, fishing culture, and how residents still use traditional techniques like casting fishing nets and crafting tools from natural materials. Along the way, watch or participate in a lively basket boat dance performance, where skilled rowers spin and twirl their boats to music — a fun and uniquely Vietnamese experience.

Afterward, stop at a riverside hut or local home for a simple, home-style lunch featuring regional specialties such as crispy pancakes (banh xeo) and fresh seafood. Return to your resort around midday, with the rest of the afternoon completely free for relaxation. You may choose to unwind by the infinity pool, take a dip in the sea, or enjoy a beachside nap under the shade of a palm tree. For the active traveler, optional beach activities like paddleboarding or a sunset bike ride along the coast are available. In the evening, explore the nearby beachfront restaurants or simply enjoy a quiet night by the water. Overnight in Hoi An.

After breakfast, check out and depart Hoi An for Da Nang. En route, you may choose to stop at the Marble Mountains to explore their limestone caves and pagodas nestled among five sacred peaks. Continue on to your beachfront resort along My Khe Beach. For those seeking a bit of adventure, an optional excursion to Ba Na Hills is available. Ride the world’s longest cable car through misty mountains to reach the iconic Golden Bridge, held by giant stone hands. Wander the whimsical French Village, enjoy cool mountain air, and take in panoramic views of Da Nang from above. Return to your resort in the late afternoon. Spend the rest of the day relaxing by the beach, indulging in a spa treatment, or sipping cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon. Overnight in Da Nang.

Wake up early for one last walk on the beach or a morning swim before breakfast. Depending on your flight time, relax by the sea until your driver transfers you to Da Nang International Airport, marking the end of your sun-kissed coastal escape.
