Set on Cồn Hến (Duckweed Island), a quiet green enclave in Cam Nam ward, this resort is ideal for couples seeking romance, families looking for space, and travelers eager to experience Hoi An’s slow, soulful rhythm without sacrificing convenience.

The resort also caters to families with family rooms, children’s menus, and child safety amenities, and offers accessibility features for guests with limited mobility.

Local Attractions

Three nearby attractions make this resort’s location unbeatable. First, Hoi An Ancient Town, just 2 kilometers away, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its 16th-century merchant architecture, colorful lantern-lit streets, and open-air morning markets. Don’t miss the chance to get a custom lantern made or try cao lầu, Hoi An’s iconic noodle dish, at a street-side stall. Second, Côn Hến Island itself, where the resort is located, is a quiet rural enclave dotted with small fishing villages and vegetable gardens. Rent a resort bike to cycle the island’s dirt paths and stop for fresh coconut at a family-run roadside stall. Third, Hoi An Memories Land, a 5-minute drive from the resort, hosts the iconic eponymous live show that tells the 400-year history of Hoi An through music, dance, and stunning water effects, a perfect evening activity for first-time visitors.

Travel Tips

Book a river-view room to wake up to misty morning views of the Thu Bon River. Book the resort’s cooking class in advance – it includes a trip to a local market to pick fresh ingredients before you learn to make traditional dishes. Arrange the resort’s airport pickup when you book to avoid waiting for taxis after your flight into Da Nang, which is 45 minutes from Hoi An. If you plan to explore Ancient Town daily, rent a bike directly from the resort for a lower rate than renting in town. Save time after a day of sightseeing to book a 60-minute foot massage at the resort’s spa – it’s the perfect way to soothe muscles after hours of walking and cycling.
