What is the best area to stay in Hoi An?

For first-time visitors: Old Town or the riverside strip, within walking distance of the Ancient Town. For a beach trip with cafes: An Bang Beach. For maximum luxury and easy Da Nang access: Ha My. For golf, casino and resort time: Hoiana, about 15 minutes south of Old Town.

Is the Four Seasons Nam Hai or Anantara Hoi An better?

Four Seasons The Nam Hai is the better resort: pool villas, three tiered pools, a private beachfront on Ha My Beach, about 20 minutes from Old Town. Anantara Hoi An is the better Hoi An hotel: riverside on the Thu Bon, walkable to the Ancient Town at night. If the hotel itself is the trip, book Four Seasons. If you want to actually experience Hoi An every evening, book Anantara.

Is Hoiana part of Hoi An?

No. Hoiana is a separate integrated resort development in Duy Hai, about 15 minutes south of Hoi An's Ancient Town. It has its own beach, golf courses, casino and hotel brands, and works best as a resort-focused stay rather than a base for walking Old Town every night.

Does Marriott Bonvoy have a hotel in Hoi An?

Yes, one: the Renaissance Danang Hoi An Resort & Spa on Cua Dai Beach. It is a modern beachfront property but isolated, with little within walking distance. Other Bonvoy options (Sheraton Grand, Danang Marriott Resort, Four Points) are 25-40 minutes north in Da Nang, not in Hoi An.

Where to Stay in Hoi An 2026, Best Hotels by Area

Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai

Ha My Beach · Ultra-Luxury · $$$$

The regional benchmark. Pool villas, three tiered pools stepping down to a private stretch of Ha My Beach, and the kind of grounds that make you stop checking your phone. About 20 minutes from Old Town.

If money isn't the deciding factor, this is where we'd stay. Four Seasons is the hotel we'd book if the hotel itself is the trip.

Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai pool villas and beachfront, Ha My Beach near Hoi An

Anantara Hoi An Resort

Riverside · Boutique Luxury · $$$

The smartest first-time Hoi An luxury stay. Riverside on the Thu Bon, walkable to the Ancient Town, boutique scale, balcony or terrace rooms, and original Rehahn artwork throughout. Rooms accommodate up to two adults and two children.

Four Seasons is the better resort. Anantara may be the better Hoi An hotel, because it makes more sense if you actually want to experience Hoi An every night.

Loyalty · Marriott Bonvoy

Using Marriott Bonvoy?

Hoi An proper is a weak Bonvoy market. There is essentially one immediate resort play.

Renaissance Danang Hoi An Resort and Spa beachfront

Marriott Bonvoy · Cua Dai Beach

Renaissance Danang Hoi An Resort & Spa

A modern beachfront property on Cua Dai, a former Vinpearl property now under Marriott. Seven-treatment-room spa, 24-hour gym, supervised kids club, about 30km from Da Nang airport.

The tradeoff, stated plainly: the property is isolated. There's little immediately walkable, and the Hoi An shuttle is limited and may carry a per-person fee depending on rate or package. Bonvoy members don't have many choices here. Renaissance is basically the answer, just understand the location before you book.

Not in Hoi An

Bonvoy Alternatives North of Hoi An

These are Da Nang hotels, not Hoi An hotels. Listed here for points travellers willing to stay 25–40 minutes north.

Location

Choose Your Hoi An Area

Six distinct bases, each a genuinely different vacation. Pick the area before you pick the hotel.

Yellow heritage buildings on a quiet street in Hoi An Ancient Town

Best for first-timers

Old Town / Riverside

If this is your first Hoi An trip, staying within walking distance of the historic centre is difficult to beat. Evenings on the river, lantern light, and no taxi required.

Includes: Anantara, Hotel Royal MGallery, Almanity, Moire, Vinh Hung Library, Thanh Binh Riverside

Beach + easy town access

Cua Dai Beach

Resort atmosphere without committing to the isolation of Hoiana or Ha My. A short Grab from Old Town, with proper pools and beachfront on tap.

Includes: Palm Garden, Victoria, Sunrise Premium, Renaissance

Cafes + beach

An Bang Beach

Younger, casual, cafe-driven, with more of a neighbourhood feel than a resort strip. An Bang is where we'd send someone who wants coffee shops and sand more than hotel lobbies. There's also an active villa-rental market here alongside the hotels.

Includes: Shantira, An Bang Seaside Village

Four Seasons Nam Hai luxury pool villas and beach at Ha My

Luxury + Da Nang access

Ha My / North

The best positioning for travellers combining Hoi An and Da Nang in one trip, with the region's top luxury property anchoring the area.

Includes: Four Seasons The Nam Hai, Le Pavillon Hoi An

Rice paddy countryside near Hoi An, quiet rural setting

Quiet pick

Rice Paddies / Tra Que

Beautiful and quiet, with bikes or a shuttle genuinely useful here. Not the choice for travellers who want to step directly into Old Town.

Includes: Hoi An Ancient House Village, Silk Sense, Namia River Retreat

Hoiana integrated resort beachfront, golf course and pool south of Hoi An

Golf + casino + resort

Hoiana / Duy Hai

Almost a different vacation. You're trading Old Town outside your door for golf, casino, beach and a massive resort complex.

See the full Hoiana feature below →

Duy Hai · ~15 min south of Hoi An

Hoiana Resort & Golf

Hoi An's resort-within-a-resort

Hoiana sits south of Hoi An in Duy Hai. It is not the choice for travellers who primarily want to walk Old Town, but it is compelling for golf, casino, beach, resort stays, families, groups and longer stays. The development contains more than 1,000 rooms across multiple properties, and Old Town is roughly 15 minutes away by Grab.

⚽

Golf

Hoiana Shores Golf Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. One of the more serious golf addresses in central Vietnam.

♠

Casino

Sky Casino, open to foreign passport holders. Table games and slots across a large gaming floor. Bring your passport.

🏖

Beach

A long, quiet stretch of Cua Dai coast, calmer and less crowded than the public sections near town or An Bang in peak season.

🚗

Old Town Access

About 15 minutes by Grab. A shuttle to Hoi An Old Town is available where currently offered, check with your hotel for the schedule.

Hoiana Hotel and Suites ocean view lagoon pool

Hoiana Luxury Pick

Long-Stay Pick

Hoiana Residences

Studios through three-bedroom residences with full kitchens. Built for workations, long stays, families and groups who want self-catering space.

Coming Soon

Hoiana Beach Villas

Not yet bookable or open. No booking link until the property is confirmed live.

Getting there: Hoiana is about 15 minutes south of Hoi An's Ancient Town by Grab. From Da Nang International Airport, allow 50–60 minutes. The casino is for foreign passport holders only, show your passport at reception.

The Tradeoff

Hoiana is not central Hoi An. If your dream trip involves walking out every evening for lanterns, restaurants, tailors, cafes and Old Town, you should probably stay closer to town. If the vacation is resort, golf, casino, beach and pool, Hoiana becomes much more interesting. Send the right traveller to the right hotel.
