Da Nang hotel prices are shaped by four distinct forces that don't follow a clean seasonal pattern: the summer beach season (May–August), when Vietnamese domestic demand peaks; the rainy season (September–November), which deflates prices sharply; the Tet holiday spike (late January to mid-February), which drives the highest rates of the year; and growing Korean inbound tourism, which has added a secondary demand peak in April that didn't exist three years ago. Understanding these layers is the difference between overpaying by 50% and finding exceptional value.
The index below was compiled by manually sampling rates across 20 representative properties across Da Nang's three main hotel tiers — 3-star city hotels, 4-star beach hotels, and 5-star resort properties — cross-referenced against booking platform data from late 2025 through January 2026. This is not an automated feed. It is an editorially curated index intended to give travelers an accurate planning baseline.

Da Nang Hotel Price Index — All 12 Months
Monthly average rates across all three hotel tiers. Hover any row for highlight. The steepest swings occur in the 5-star category — the same resort that costs $300/night in July can be available for under $130 in October.
| Month | 3-Star Avg (USD) | 4-Star Avg (USD) | 5-Star Avg (USD) | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | $32 – $38 | $68 – $82 | $150 – $190 | Shoulder |
| February ★ | $48 – $55 | $105 – $120 | $280 – $350 | Peak · Tet |
| March | $30 – $36 | $65 – $78 | $140 – $175 | Shoulder |
| April | $34 – $40 | $72 – $88 | $155 – $195 | Shoulder |
| May | $40 – $48 | $88 – $105 | $190 – $240 | Peak |
| June | $44 – $52 | $98 – $115 | $220 – $290 | Peak |
| July | $46 – $54 | $100 – $118 | $230 – $300 | Peak |
| August | $44 – $52 | $95 – $112 | $215 – $275 | Peak |
| September | $25 – $30 | $52 – $64 | $105 – $145 | Low |
| October | $22 – $28 | $45 – $58 | $90 – $130 | Low |

★ Tet pricing applies to approximately 5–7 days around the Lunar New Year. In 2026, Tet falls on January 29 — meaning late January also sees elevated rates across all categories.

| Category | Peak Season Avg | Low Season Avg | Potential Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Star Hotels | $50 / night | $25 / night | Save ~50% |

| 5-Star Resorts | $260 / night | $110 / night | Save ~58% |
What These Numbers Mean in Practice
Da Nang's seasonal price compression is steeper than most Southeast Asian beach destinations. A 5-star resort averaging $260/night in peak summer can genuinely be booked for $100–$130 in October — the same property, same facilities, less than half the cost. The compression is driven by the hard stop of rainy season: most leisure travelers won't schedule Da Nang in October regardless of price, forcing properties to discount aggressively.
For budget travelers, the low-season 3-star market at $22–$28/night puts Da Nang on par with Chiang Mai or Canggu. For upgrade seekers, low-season 5-star pricing is the best value proposition in the country.

Year-Over-Year Trends — 2024 to 2026
| Category | 2024 Annual Avg | 2025 Annual Avg | 2026 Estimated | 3-Year Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Star Hotels | $31 / night | $34 / night | $36 / night | ↑ +16% |
| 4-Star Hotels | $72 / night | $80 / night | $86 / night | ↑ +19% |
| 5-Star Resorts | $185 / night | $195 / night | $200 / night | ↑ +8% |
What's driving the change?
Korean inbound tourism has been the single largest demand-side factor reshaping Da Nang's hotel market since 2023. Direct routes from Seoul, Busan, and Jeju expanded substantially, and Korean travelers — who strongly favour 4-star and above properties — have created a second demand peak in April that structurally lifted mid-tier pricing year-round.
International recovery from post-pandemic lows continued through 2024–2025, with European and Australian arrivals returning to near pre-2020 levels. This broad recovery provided pricing support across all categories without the supply constraints that might otherwise limit growth.
Inflation in operating costs — energy, labour, F&B — pushed minimum viable nightly rates upward. The ~16–19% cumulative increase in the 3-star and 4-star segments closely tracks Vietnam's hospitality sector cost inflation over the same period.
Expanding 5-star supply has partially offset luxury price growth. New resort openings along Non Nuoc Beach between 2023 and 2025 expanded available room inventory, moderating rate growth in the top tier to just 8% over three years — the most restrained of any segment. More pipeline properties are expected online in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
Da Nang is meaningfully cheaper than both Phuket and Bali across all hotel categories. A comparable 4-star beachfront property that costs $150–$200/night in Phuket or $130–$180 in Bali's Seminyak typically runs $70–$110 in Da Nang during peak season. Five-star resorts follow the same pattern — Da Nang's luxury tier averages $200–$350 at peak, while equivalent Phuket properties regularly exceed $400–$600. Food and transport costs are lower too, so the overall trip cost gap is even wider than accommodation alone suggests.
October and November are Da Nang's genuine low season. Three-star hotels average $22–$28/night, 4-star properties drop to $45–$58, and 5-star resorts are available for $90–$130 — roughly 55–60% below peak rates. The trade-off is weather: Da Nang's rainy season peaks through mid-October to mid-November, with the heaviest rainfall of the year. September is also low season but wetter. If weather-free travel matters, late November or early December offers rising prices but sharply improved beach and outdoor conditions.
Booking windows vary sharply by season. For Tet (late January/February) and peak summer (June–August), book 6–10 weeks out — quality properties at mid-range prices sell out quickly and rates spike with short lead times. For shoulder months (March, April, December), 3–4 weeks is sufficient. During low season (September–November), last-minute booking is viable and sometimes advantageous, as properties discount aggressively to fill rooms. For 5-star resorts during any peak period, book early: pool villas and promotional packages have limited availability and are rarely discounted with short notice.
Da Nang's 5-star resorts offer some of the strongest luxury-for-money in Southeast Asia. Properties along My Khe and Non Nuoc Beach — including internationally branded resorts — deliver private beach access, full-service spas, multiple dining outlets, and large rooms at prices that would buy a mid-range city hotel in Western capitals. The clearest value window is shoulder season: late March, April, or December, when rates sit 35–45% below peak with full operations and favourable weather. Even peak season rates of $200–$350 are competitive given the service level, setting, and inclusions.
