Overview
Furama Resort Danang opened in 1997, making it one of the oldest and most established luxury resorts on this stretch of coast. Long before the proliferation of international brand hotels on My Khe and Non Nuoc Beach, Furama was setting the standard for beach resort hospitality in central Vietnam. A quarter-century later, the resort remains relevant — partly due to its generous grounds (10 hectares of beachfront land), mature tropical landscaping, and a sense of established character that newer properties simply cannot replicate.
The resort comprises 198 rooms, suites, and villas spread across a lushly planted compound. A significant refurbishment programme over the past few years has updated many of the rooms, but some areas retain a slightly dated feeling that is worth factoring into expectations. The trade-off is real space and a resort atmosphere that feels earned rather than manufactured.
Location
Furama sits on Bac My An Beach, just south of the main My Khe hotel strip. The beach is wide and relatively clean, with good swimming conditions in the drier months. The resort is 8 km from Dragon Bridge and 10 km from the airport. The local restaurant strip along Vo Nguyen Giap road is accessible on foot or by short taxi, and the Marble Mountains are 10 km south.
- Airport: 10 km / 15 min taxi
- Dragon Bridge: 15 min taxi
- Marble Mountains: 15 min taxi
- Hoi An: 30 min by car
- Beach restaurants: 5 min walk
Rooms and Design
Rooms range from standard garden or sea-view options in the main building to standalone beachfront villas. The villas — particularly the two-bedroom beachfront options — are among the best value private villa stays in Da Nang, offering genuine seclusion with direct sand access. Standard rooms in the main building are comfortable if not cutting-edge; the recent renovations have addressed the most dated areas.
The landscaping throughout the resort is among the best in Da Nang — mature palm trees, tropical plantings, and thatched sala pavilions give the grounds a lived-in, authentic resort feel that's harder to achieve with newer builds.
Pools, Beach, and Amenities
Three pools including a waterslide pool popular with families. The main pool is large and set within the landscaped gardens. Beach access is directly in front of the resort on a wide stretch of Bac My An Beach. A full-service spa, fitness centre, tennis courts, kids' club, cooking classes, and watersports are all available.
Dining Options
Café Indochine is the main all-day dining restaurant with a wide buffet. The Azure Restaurant is a beachside dining venue with a strong seafood focus. La Terrace serves Mediterranean cuisine. Multiple bar options including a beach bar and poolside bar round out the offering. Food quality is consistent and the beachside dining setting at Azure is one of the more atmospheric in Da Nang.
Typical Price Range
- Low season (May–August): $130–$185/night
- Shoulder season: $185–$270/night
- Peak season (December–February): $230–$380/night
- Beachfront villas: from $280/night in low season
Who This Hotel Is Best For
Furama works best for families who want generous space and a kids-friendly pool setup, returning visitors who appreciate the resort's established character, and guests looking for beachfront villa accommodation at a reasonable rate. It is less suited to design-forward travellers looking for the most contemporary interiors, or those who want the newest hotel on the beach.
- 10 hectares of mature tropical gardens — genuinely unique in Da Nang
- Beachfront villa options at competitive rates
- Established resort character and atmosphere
- Kids' waterslide pool popular with families
- Long-standing staff familiarity with the property
- Multiple dining options including strong beachside restaurant
- Some areas feel dated relative to newer competitors
- Main building rooms less impressive than villa options

- Higher-floor views less panoramic than tower hotels
Final Verdict
Furama Resort Danang has something the city's newest five-star hotels simply cannot manufacture: genuine history and a well-established sense of place. The resort's 10 hectares of mature grounds, beachfront villas, and long-serving staff culture add up to an experience that feels less corporate than newer international brand properties. For guests who value resort atmosphere over cutting-edge design, Furama remains one of Da Nang's most rewarding stays.
Is Furama Resort Danang Still Worth It in 2026?
Furama Resort Danang holds a particular place in Da Nang's hotel history — it was one of the first international resort-standard properties on the coast and helped establish My Khe Beach as a serious destination for international travellers. In 2026, the honest assessment is nuanced. The resort's setting and beach access remain excellent, and the recent renovation work has refreshed many areas. But the newer properties — Hyatt, Sheraton Grand, Melia — have raised the bar on pool design and room quality. Where Furama still wins is on a certain classic resort character, the Naman Retreat sister property next door, and rates that are now competitive with newer properties. For guests who appreciate an established resort with genuine history and a beautiful beachfront, it remains a strong choice.
Nearby Attractions & Getting Around
One of Da Nang's advantages as a destination is how compact it is — most major attractions are within 20–30 minutes of any hotel in the city. From Furama Resort Danang, key landmarks and beaches are easy to reach by taxi or GrabCar, and both services are reliable, metered, and inexpensive by international standards.
- Non-Nuoc Beach — On-site. One of Da Nang's best stretches of beachfront — quieter than the northern My Khe strip.

- My Khe Beach strip — 15 min taxi north. The main restaurant and nightlife beach corridor.
- Naman Retreat — Adjacent. Sister property with its own pools, restaurants, and spa facilities.
- Dragon Bridge — 20 min taxi. Da Nang's iconic bridge — fire show on weekend evenings.
