Bel Marina Hoi An Resort  

On the banks of the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, this 5-star resort and spa sits a short walk from the Japanese Bridge, Hoi An Night Market and the Ancient Town. About 30 minutes from Da Nang International Airport and roughly 20 km from My Khe Beach, it’s a family-friendly base for culture and coast.

Contemporary rooms, suites and villas (202 total) blend Vietnamese craftsmanship with European touches for a chic heritage vibe. Expect river-facing views, air-conditioning, minibars, LCD TVs and bathrooms with tubs or showers, plus thoughtful local décor that nods to Hoi An’s traditions.

Two outdoor pools, poolside bars and access to a private beach with a complimentary beach shuttle set the tone for relaxed days. Marina Wellness Spa specializes in traditional Vietnamese treatments, while a fitness center, sauna and massage rooms cover wellness needs. On-site concierge, tour desk and free self-parking keep things easy; kids get a playroom and babysitting is available for a surcharge.

A 24-hour business center and conference hall handle meetings and events. Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and on-site services like dry cleaning, laundry and car rental keep business travelers moving.

Dine at Thu Bon restaurant for international fare, or unwind at one of the two bars/lounges and two poolside bars. Room service is offered during limited hours for late nights after exploring the heritage town.
