Where to Stay in Da Nang for a 5-Star or Luxury Trip

Choosing a Base for a Luxury Stay in Da Nang
Da Nang's 5-star hotels sit in a few distinct pockets. The right one depends on whether you want a closed-off resort, a beach walk to restaurants, or a city base by the river.
Son Tra Peninsula
Secluded resorts against forested hills with private coves, not open public beach. Suits travelers who want a self-contained resort and don't mind relying on shuttles.
My Khe / My An beachfront
The central strip along Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa is most convenient: beachfront hotels face restaurants and bars across the road, with the river bridges and center a short taxi away. Good for beach mornings and city dinners.
Non Nuoc, near Marble Mountains
Quieter, lower-density and golf-course resorts south of My An, roughly midway to Hoi An. Suits repeat trips to Hoi An's old town, farther from Da Nang's nightlife.
Han River / Bach Dang
A small set of riverfront hotels near Dragon Bridge trades beach access for a walkable center and river dining.
Transport and Sights
No metro; taxis, Grab and motorbike taxis cover transfers. DAD airport is roughly 20-30 minutes from the beach strip, closer from river hotels. Ba Na Hills' cable car is inland, 45 minutes to an hour away; Hoi An is closer to the southern beach hotels than to Son Tra.
What to Check Before Booking
- Direct beach access versus a public road between hotel and sand
- Shuttle frequency and cost to the center or Hoi An, especially from Son Tra
- Whether the property has older, unrenovated room wings
- Beachfront bar noise or construction reaching your room
When to Visit
Dry season, roughly February to August, draws the most visitors, peaking around Tet and the late April to early May holidays. September to December brings more storms, which can affect beachfront resorts and pools, though availability eases.

Views & landmarks
Golden Bridge
The Golden Bridge is a 150-meter pedestrian bridge inside the Ba Na Hills resort near Da Nang. Built as a walkway connecting the cable car station to the garden area, it also serves as a viewpoint overlooking the surrounding ridges from the mountainside.
Views & landmarks
Dragon River Bridge
This iron bridge across the river is shaped like a dragon, its entire body forming the creature. It's best enjoyed from the riverbank alongside the night view rather than crossed on foot or by car — it lights up after dark, and on weekend evenings the dragon's head sometimes breathes fire or spouts water.
Temples & religious sites
Roman Catholic Diocese of Đà Nẵng
The Diocese of Da Nang is a Roman Catholic diocese covering central Vietnam, established in its current form on January 18, 1963, and is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Hue. Travelers typically visit not the diocesan offices themselves but the diocese's cathedral, Da Nang Cathedral (the Pink Church), known for its French colonial-era architecture and pink facade.
Temples & religious sites
Japanese Bridge
The Japanese Bridge is a covered wooden bridge over a small stream in Hoi An's old town, with a small temple built into its center. It is believed to have been built by Japanese merchants living in the area in the late 16th century, and has since been repaired and restored several times to reach its present form.
