Four Beach Zones
Which Beach Area?
Editor's Verdict
Where We'd Stay
One honest recommendation
Central My Khe is the right default for most first-time visitors. You are two minutes from the sand, An Thuong's restaurants are on your doorstep, and you never need a taxi in the evenings. For families or anyone wanting a true resort experience, the southern stretch — Sheraton Grand, Hyatt Regency, Pullman — is the better fit: larger pools, private beach clubs, more space. And for one trip in your life, if budget isn't the constraint, the InterContinental on Son Tra is something else entirely: a private bay, no neighbours, genuinely one of the best resorts in Asia.
North My Khe · 4-star · Beachfront
Four Points by Sheraton Da Nang
A solid four-star on the quieter northern stretch. The rooftop sky pool gets panoramic ocean and city views without the five-star price. About 10 minutes by Grab to the An Thuong restaurant strip.
North My Khe · 4-star · Direct beach access
Hilton Garden Inn Da Nang
Probably the best value four-star directly on the beach right now. Hilton service standards, a proper outdoor pool, real beach access, and rates that consistently undercut comparable properties nearby.
North My Khe · Lifestyle · Beachfront
Radisson RED Da Nang
The design-forward option on the northern strip. Art-forward interiors that actually follow through on the lobby concept. Rooftop bar draws a real crowd evenings. Beach access is direct. Works better for couples than families.
North My Khe · Boutique · Beachfront
Sel de Mer Hotel & Suites
A boutique that actually delivers on the small details. The rooftop infinity pool at sunset looks like the photos, which isn't always the case. Rooms are compact but thoughtfully designed; suites with ocean balconies are worth the slight bump.
North My Khe · 4-star · Beachfront
Radisson Blu Da Nang
A solid four-star on the quieter northern stretch. The rooftop sky pool gets panoramic ocean and city views without the five-star price. Rooms are well-finished and the beach is directly accessible. Strong value for the location.
My Khe · Lifestyle hotel
M Hotel Da Nang
Lifestyle property with a rooftop bar and direct beach access on My Khe. Rooms are modern and compact. Rates are competitive for the location, and the social atmosphere makes it a reliable pick for couples and solo travellers.
Central My Khe · Design Boutique
Chicland Hotel
The standout design mid-range on the strip. The rooftop infinity pool keeps appearing in Da Nang content because it earns it, it holds up in person. Rooms are designed with more care than most at this price. Best for couples.
Central My Khe · 4-star · Beachfront
M Hotel Da Nang
Genuine beachfront position in central My Khe with a beach club setup more developed than most at this price. Upper floor rooms get proper sea views. An Thuong restaurants are a short walk north.
Central My Khe · Beachfront
Muong Thanh Luxury Da Nang
Vietnam's biggest hotel chain runs a tight ship here. Genuinely spacious rooms, a rooftop infinity pool, and rates that often undercut comparable international brands. Popular with domestic Vietnamese travellers, usually a reliable sign.
Central My Khe · An Thuong zone
A La Carte Da Nang Beach
Rooftop pool and bar used by locals as well as guests, which tells you something. Everything walkable: restaurants, the beach, the An Thuong strip. Suites with balconies get bay views at sunset. Best for people who eat out every night.
Central My Khe · Across from beach
Sala Danang Beach Hotel
Sits right on the sand and the pool-to-beach flow works, no car park or service road between you and the water. Rooms are modern and better-maintained than average at this price. Beach bar picks up in the evenings.
Central My Khe · Near An Thuong
Diamond Sea Hotel
Won't wow you on arrival, but won't let you down either. The rooftop pool has genuine sea views without the premium that usually comes attached. Beach is a short walk across the road. Breakfast included and decent.
South My Khe · 5-star · Beachfront resort
Pullman Danang Beach Resort
Family-friendly without feeling like a dedicated kids' resort, there is enough adult space to actually relax. Large pool complex, direct beach access, and rates more reasonable than the newer arrivals on this strip. A consistent performer.
South My Khe · 5-star · Beachfront resort
Furama Resort Da Nang
Da Nang's original luxury resort and it has kept reinvesting. Manicured gardens, bungalow-style rooms with verandas, three pools, private beach strip. If the glass-tower resorts feel clinical, Furama's tropical atmosphere is the antidote.
South My Khe · 5-star · Beachfront villas
Premier Village Da Nang Resort
Every room is a villa with its own private pool, which is the point. Works particularly well for families who don't want a shared pool with 300 other guests. Direct beach access. The best private outdoor space on this stretch.
My An · 5-star · Beachfront resort
Sheraton Grand Danang Resort
The most complete five-star package on the southern stretch: three pools, a proper beach club with sun-lounger service, seafood restaurant, and pool villas with direct beach gate access. Marriott consistency means it holds up year-round.
Non Nuoc · 5-star · Beachfront resort
Hyatt Regency Danang Resort & Spa
Four terraced pools stepping down to the sand, a dedicated kids programme, and room options from standard to private pool villas. The beach here is wide and calm, noticeably better for swimming than the busier My Khe stretch.
Son Tra Peninsula · 5-star · Clifftop resort
InterContinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula
The benchmark for central Vietnam. Bill Bensley's architecture cascades down a protected peninsula to private beach coves. Nothing else in Da Nang matches it for drama, seclusion, or the sheer quality of the design.
Non Nuoc Beach · All-inclusive spa
TIA Wellness Resort
Built around wellness as the actual reason you are there, not as a spa menu stapled onto a regular resort. Yoga, fitness, nutritional dining, and treatments integrated into the daily rhythm. Beachfront villas on quiet Non Nuoc.
Non Nuoc Beach · Design resort
Naman Retreat
The design property of Non Nuoc, internationally award-winning, designed by Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia. Beachfront pool villas, a proper spa, a restaurant built almost entirely from natural materials. Quiet private beach.
Non Nuoc Beach · All-inclusive
Fusion Resort Da Nang
Two spa treatments and breakfast served anywhere on property included in every rate. On quieter Non Nuoc, the daily spa allowance actually gets used. Pool villas with direct beach access. Designed for guests who want to slow down completely.
Non Nuoc Beach · 5-star · Beachfront resort
Vinpearl Luxury Da Nang
Vietnam's top domestic luxury brand delivers a credible five-star product. Rooms are notably large even by five-star standards. Multiple pools, private beach strip. The room sizes alone often make this better value than comparable international brands on the same stretch.
Non Nuoc Beach · 5-star · Private pool villas
Da Nang Marriott Resort & Spa
Full international luxury resort package: consistent service, multiple restaurants operating at a high level, beach club, and one of the most complete spas on this stretch. Well-calibrated room categories from standard to villa suite.
Non Nuoc · Beachfront resort
Grandvrio Ocean Resort Da Nang
A well-maintained beachfront resort on the quieter Non Nuoc stretch, with direct sand access and a large pool. Rates sit below the headline luxury properties, making it a solid option for guests who want a resort feel without the top-tier price.
Son Tra Peninsula
Son Tra Peninsula · Ultra-Luxury
InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort
Built into the Son Tra hillside above a private sheltered bay. No neighbouring properties, no road noise, no vendors on the beach. Bill Bensley's architecture terraces down the cliff with funicular transport between levels. The water below is clean in a way that's rare this close to a city. It is the most expensive hotel in the Da Nang area, and if a dramatic, self-contained resort experience is what you are after, it earns the price. If you are planning to leave the property every day to explore the city, you are probably paying for something you will not use.
Check rates →Worth Knowing
You Don't Always Need "Beachfront"
Hotels one block behind Vo Nguyen Giap can be considerably cheaper, while the walk to My Khe Beach is often only 60-90 seconds. Because the beach is public, paying extra for the front row does not always make sense for budget and mid-range travellers. For luxury stays, the direct beach gate access starts to actually matter. Use accurate language when reading listings: "across from My Khe Beach" and "beachfront resort" are not the same thing.
Central My Khe and Non Nuoc are roughly 20 minutes apart by Grab. Choose your beach zone before booking.

Not sure whether to stay on the beach or in the city? My Khe is the right default for beach holidays. The Han River district makes more sense for short city stays or business trips, and it is 30-40% cheaper. The full area breakdown with honest trade-offs is in the Where to Stay guide.

Beach Hotels FAQ
What is the best beachfront hotel in Da Nang?
For ultra-luxury with real drama, the InterContinental on Son Tra is in a class of its own: private bay, no neighbours, genuinely one of the best resorts in Asia. For a five-star on My Khe, the Sheraton Grand or Pullman are the most consistent. For design and value in central My Khe, Chicland is the standout mid-range pick. For families, Hyatt Regency on the southern stretch is the most complete package.
Is My Khe Beach or Non Nuoc Beach better?
Neither is objectively better, they suit different trips. My Khe is better if you want to be in the mix: restaurants within walking distance, easy city access, more going on in the evenings. Non Nuoc is better if you want to slow down, you are travelling with young kids, or you are planning Hoi An day trips and want to be halfway there already. The sand quality on both is good. The difference is everything around the beach, not the beach itself.
What is the best budget beach hotel in Da Nang?
Hilton Garden Inn Da Nang is probably the best budget four-star directly on the beach right now: Hilton standards, real beach access, rates that consistently undercut comparable properties. Diamond Sea and Sala are solid mid-range picks in the central zone. And one useful trick: properties one block back from the sand in the An Thuong zone give you the same beach access at 25-35% less. The beach is public.
Can you swim at Da Nang beach year-round?
March through August is the main swimming season: calm water, good visibility, no issues. September through November is the northeast monsoon and it can get rough; red flags go up regularly and you should take them seriously. December through February is variable. The exception is the InterContinental's private bay on Son Tra, which is sheltered enough to be swimmable most of the year.
How far are the Non Nuoc resorts from Da Nang city centre?
Non Nuoc is about 13km south of the city centre, 20-25 minutes by Grab. Most guests factor in the ride. Hoi An is another 20 minutes further south, which makes Non Nuoc a reasonable base if you are splitting time between Da Nang and Hoi An — you are already halfway there.
Which Da Nang beach hotel is best for families?
Hyatt Regency Da Nang is the strongest family resort overall: four pools, a dedicated kids club, and the calmest water on the southern stretch. Premier Village works well for families who want private outdoor space — every villa has its own pool. The Pullman offers the most complete family resort experience without climbing to the very top of the price range.
