Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai

The finest beach resort near Hoi An

100 pool villas on a private stretch of Ha My Beach, 10km north of the Ancient Town. Three pools, two restaurants with a quality standard the town itself can't match, and service that's consistent in a way that takes years to build. Not cheap. Worth it if a beach resort is what you're actually here for. For Old Town access, you take a 20-minute private transfer or taxi — treat it as a day trip.

More to consider at every budget

Five more hotels that consistently earn their price. These are the properties people return to — which is as reliable a signal as there is.

Ultra-luxury — 10km south

Hoiana — the resort enclave

Hoiana is not inside Hoi An. It's a purpose-built luxury resort destination 10km south on a 1km stretch of private beach, with an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course. Rosewood and Hoiana Hotel & Suites are the two properties. Both share the beach and golf. Neither is a budget option. Both are genuinely excellent.

Ultra-luxury · Premier property

Rosewood Hoi An

120 rooms and residences, multiple restaurants, three pools, and Rosewood's signature service delivery. The golf course adjoinment and beach proximity make this a full-stay destination rather than a base for exploration. Rates start around $400 and reflect where you are.

Luxury · Second Hoiana property

Hoiana Hotel & Suites

Shares the beach and golf course access with Rosewood but at 30–40% lower rates. Suite-format rooms with pool or ocean views. The right choice if you want the Hoiana experience without the Rosewood price tag. Both are well above the standard of anything inside Hoi An town.
