10 Best Hotels
Hoi An’s trading past survives in yellow-walled merchant houses, assembly halls and the Japanese Covered Bridge, clustered beside the Thu Bon River. Beyond the lantern-lit streets, Tra Que grows herbs, Thanh Ha makes pottery and Cam Kim’s lanes run through rice fields. An Bang and Ha My offer beach stays within reach of town, while My Son’s Cham temples lie farther inland. Choose accommodation by setting: the historic centre, countryside and coast each involve different daily journeys.
Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai
Ha My Beach, Dien Ban, Vietnam
The Nam Hai spreads its villas through gardens beside Ha My Beach, placing the sea at the centre of the stay. The appeal is space and a practiced resort rhythm: beach time, the spa and unhurried meals can occupy a day before an evening in Hoi An. Accommodation ranges from one-bedroom villas to larger private-pool homes for families and friends. Choose carefully between ocean views, extra bedrooms and a pool, since these are separate features rather than standard inclusions.
A spacious beach-villa retreat
Namia River Retreat
Con Ba Xa islet, Hoi An, Vietnam
Namia occupies a river islet where pool villas and planted grounds encourage a slower stay. Its defining inclusion is a daily wellness journey, combining hydrotherapy with a treatment, rather than simply access to a hotel spa. Bamboo bicycles and a sunset cruise offer ways to explore beyond the villa. Two restaurants give the retreat a broader dining rhythm, while the river setting provides a different perspective from the busy old streets. It suits travellers who want deliberate downtime alongside their sightseeing.
Private pools and a daily wellness ritual
Anantara Hoi An Resort
1 Pham Hong Thai, riverside Hoi An, Vietnam
Anantara places split-level rooms and suites in gardens beside the river, within easy reach of Hoi An’s historic streets. It is a practical choice for travellers who want the facilities of a resort without committing to a beach transfer each evening. The temperature-controlled pool provides a comfortable pause between excursions, and river cruises extend the setting beyond the terrace. Recently renovated River Suites deserve particular attention; their updated accommodation should not be confused with the separate Garden room categories.
Riverfront comfort close to the old town
Hotel Royal Hoi An, The Legacy by the River
39 Dao Duy Tu, Hoi An, Vietnam
Hotel Royal brings a more theatrical approach to the riverside, with interiors inspired by the story of Sotaro and Wakaku and a substantial choice of rooms and suites. The pool and rooftop Deck bar make it easy to return for an afternoon break or a drink after exploring town. River-facing categories offer a particularly appealing connection to the setting. This is a full-service hotel with a polished, expansive feel, well suited to travellers who prefer several facilities under one roof.
A larger hotel with a strong sense of occasion
La Siesta Hoi An Resort & Spa
Western edge of Hoi An, Vietnam
La Siesta offers a generous resort setting on Hoi An’s western side, with four pools giving families and couples different places to settle. An infinity pool looks towards the rice fields, while the spa and gardens encourage lingering at the hotel. Red Bean focuses on Vietnamese cooking and Temple offers an international alternative. The location rewards travellers who are comfortable arranging their trips into the historic centre, in exchange for more outdoor space and a broader range of leisure facilities.
Pools and resort time between town visits
Almanity Hoi An Resort & Spa
326 Ly Thuong Kiet, Hoi An, Vietnam
Almanity arranges its accommodation around a planted pool setting, giving a central Hoi An stay an appealing resort interlude. My Chi Spa is a substantial part of the offering, with treatment spaces, steam and sauna facilities, hydrotherapy and scheduled movement practices. Rooms vary considerably, from loft layouts to pool-facing categories and larger suites, so the category matters more than a generic room photograph. The combination works well for travellers who want to alternate town exploration with time deliberately reserved for the hotel.
A spa-focused stay in town
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa
Cua Dai Beach and De Vong River, Vietnam
Victoria’s low-rise, fishing-village-inspired design gives this coastal resort a distinctive character. Rooms look towards gardens, the river or the sea, with ocean-front suites providing the most direct coastal outlook. A swimming pool, spa and a range of excursions make it possible to mix quiet resort days with trips into Hoi An. The setting requires a little care when booking: this coastline has experienced erosion, so travellers choosing primarily for beach time should ask about the current stretch of usable sand.
Indochine character between river and sea
Boutique Hoi An Resort
Cua Dai coastal catchment, Vietnam
Boutique Hoi An Resort offers a straightforward coastal escape, with airy rooms, tropical grounds and a swimming pool forming the centre of the stay. Its villas add extra space and proximity to the beach, while pool-villa categories suit travellers seeking more privacy. The mood is quieter than a busy entertainment-led resort, making it a good fit for reading, swimming and occasional trips into town. Compare the actual outlook of each room: sea-facing orientation does not necessarily mean an uninterrupted sea view.
A quiet garden-and-beach resort
Dechiu Hotel
23 Nguyen Phan Vinh, Tan Thanh coast, Vietnam
Dechiu is a small design hotel whose reclaimed materials, handmade textures and individual rooms create a strong sense of place. The coastal setting is best enjoyed from a sea-view room or terrace, with vegetarian breakfast and lunch adding to its considered approach. This is an intimate address rather than a resort: there is no pool, upper rooms require stairs and guests must be at least ten. Nearby nightlife can disturb the calm aesthetic, so light sleepers should discuss room placement directly.
Craft-led design beside the beach
Little Hoi An Boutique Hotel & Spa
2 Thoai Ngoc Hau, An Hoi, Vietnam
Little Hoi An uses lanterns, wooden details and traditional Vietnamese decoration to give a compact hotel a clear connection to its surroundings. Its location makes evenings around the old town particularly convenient, while a small pool, spa and gym provide useful downtime between outings. River-view Little Suites are the more appealing choice for travellers who want an outlook as well as a bed. The scale is intimate and town-facing, with the possibility of street or courtyard noise rather than resort-style seclusion.
An intimate base for old-town evenings
