In the busiest year, nearly 5,5 millions travellers decided to stay overnight in Hoi An. It’s the largest number that a city in the Central coast of Vietnam ever achieved. Not just thanks to the Unesco title, this lovely destination has so many interests that make people want to stay longer and discover. This article reveals all areas to stay in Hoi An for tourists. A variety of “environments” can be expected to base for a few nights, from central residential blocks, peaceful countryside, graceful beaches to isolated islands (fisherman villages). Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the best area is where travellers like most or feel most convenient to follow the itinerary. About the type of accommodation, the city core (Old Town and surroundings) provides all while the countryside and beaches “specialize” in eco-friendly and leisure styles. Homestays where the guests are a part of the host family’s life, are around Hoi An and in the offshore islands.

How Many Nights to Stay in Hoi An?
Number of nights to stay over in Hoi An depends on each traveller, such as his/her itinerary across the country or region, budget, liking, and more. For first timers, 2 nights is the minimum that should book to explore the city. It’s enough to visit the Old Town and historical sites, beaches, countryside and join some featured activities. On the 3rd day, travellers can leave the city in the afternoon and then sleep in Da Nang or Hue or fly to somewhere else. This layover allows you to check out places that may be missed in previous days, even the My Son Sanctuary. We recommend reading the guides for 2 days in Hoi An, and 3 days in Hoi An to easier design the travel plan.
Da Nang or Hoi An – Reasons to Stay Overnight in Hoi An
Although smaller in size and further to the airport, Hoi An owns lots of things that make traveler’s stay memorable. Foremost, this charming city has historical quarters filled by old timber houses, blooming flowers and plentiful tourist places. At night, colorful and fairy lights from millions of lanterns kill every romantic soul. It’s an epic beauty that can’t be found anywhere else. In the full moon (lantern festival), definitely Hoi An is the choice of all travellers. Peaceful countryside and sunny beaches at a close distance, diversity of handicraft traditions and cuisine are other reasons. See more comparisons in our article to Da Nang or Hoi An.
If you have a holiday that is long enough (such as a week), you should spend the night in both Hoi An and Da Nang.
When is the Best Time to Go to Hoi An?
The best time of the year to visit Hoi An is from February to the end of August when it’s still sunny. A beach holiday package and outdoor adventures are fitted to book during it. If want to avoid the heat, shouldn’t plan the trip in the period between May and July, with the highest temperature degrees. If traveling with a budget, mid-January to mid-February isn’t great, because the prices are always higher than usual due to the Vietnamese new year. Late April to early May is also busy by domestic visitors who travel to celebrate the reunification day. Read our guide to Hoi An’s best weather and Hoi An monthly weather to know further details.
An Bang Beach
Quick Introduction of An Bang Beach
An Bang Beach (Bai Bien An Bang) is the best known beach in Hoi An, with major swimming spot in the end of Hai Ba Trung St. During sunny months, travellers can expect sandy expanses to lie on, warm and unpolluted water to swim and many water games to entertain in the water edge. There are so many sun beds to choose from and relax, with bars in a close distance. Under the coconut palms, there are sea-facing restaurants where fresh seafoods are best sellers. In the village, Vietnamese and international restaurants are also a lot, including venues with patrons as expats. See more information in our guide to An Bang Beach.
Pros and Cons
Pros: An Bang is an ideal place to stay for travellers seeking a beach holiday in Hoi An. It has a white sandy beach with sun beds under the palapas, lots of good eating and drinking places. Non-luxury places dominate the village, including homestays, boutique hotels, villas and hostels. That’s varied enough to allow travellers to choose their favourite type(s). Prices are not really expensive, so this fisherman village is friendly for mid-range budget and budget ones.
Restaurants in An Bang are diverse, from beachfront to small lanes. It’s possible to see Vietnamese, western, Asian and fusion cuisines in the menu there. See the bests in our article here. Furthermore, it’s home to one of the largest expat communities in the city. Thanks to that, no difficulties exist to meet up new friends and socialize in any bar or look for something to eat with home flavours. The last advantage of An Bang is its convenient location. No matter where, the coast is just within 5 mins walk. Distance to the Old Town is only 4 kilometers, requiring a short taxi drive or a 15-mins bicycle ride. For romantic souls, sunrise here and the sunset in rice paddies nearby are must to know.
Cons: In high seasons, the beach is crowded, restaurants are packed and accommodations are fully booked. It’s a little uncomfortable. Like the central coast of Vietnam, bad weather in the wet and typhoon season leads to closing of many seafront venues and outdoor activities. The cloudy water with big waves is dangerous to swim in.
An Bang Beach Accommodation
An Bang Beach is a popular destination for swimmers, sunbathers, hungry and thirsty souls. From the waterfront to inner laneways of the village, travellers have lots of choices of places to eat, drink, rejuvenate and stay overnight. Exploring the best lodging options in our guide to An Bang Beach accommodation.
Cua Dai Beach
Quick Introduction of Cua Dai Beach
Cua Dai Beach (Bai Bien Cua Dai) is one of the 2 most famous beaches in Hoi An. It’s sandy, stretching 5 kilometers from the end of An Bang Beach to the estuary of Thu Bon River. Backed by coconut palms and fringed by warm, clear and shallow water in the front, this pretty shore is loved by locals and tourists. The Cham islands around the horizon and a gorgeous sunrise are great additions into the God blessing beauty. Due to recent coastal erosion, some parts of the beach are damaged and protected by sandbags. See all information in our guide to Cua Dai Beach.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Cua Dai Beach has the largest concentration of beachside resorts that provide all-inclusive, luxury, and highly-rated service. Each venue owns a private stretch of sand, with sun lounges and exciting water activities. All year round, the guests can find quiet spaces without crowds in resorts of this area. It takes less than 15 minutes to get to the Old Town from this area. Shuttle bus is available daily to carry for free to go there for strolling and dining. 10 minutes are max to land in Cua Hai Harbour where tours to Cham Island begin. On the other side of the coastal road, there are cheaper options to stay overnight. Most of them are located near public swimming spots, at the end of Cua Dai Rd.
Cons: Cua Dai Beach is affected by typhoons in several months at the end of the year. In the coast, cold water, big waves, winds and no activities definitely can’t make a great beach holiday. If just looking for relaxation, that’s okay because the temperature is cool at that time. Additionally, the public beach is no longer intact due to erosion. Locals still swim or cool off there daily, and vendors still sell local snacks and seafood dishes with cold beer. Yes, it’s nice to visit, sit down, enjoy the chilly breeze and scenic scenery.
Hoi An Resorts on the Beach
Travelers can find the best beach resorts of Hoi An in Cua Dai Beach. All of them are between the coastal road and the sea, providing high-end lodging service and many accommodation options amid lush palms. See the list of top choices for a perfect beach holiday package in our article for Hoi An’s beach resorts.
Hoi An Old Town
Introduction, Pros and Cons
The Old Town definitely is the most central area of Hoi An. The designated area by Unesco is pedestrian and bicycle friendly nearly all the time. Within it, a fun day of exploration is easy to make. There, travellers will see lantern-filled streets, historical places, plenty of tailors, eating and drinking venues, shops, markets. In the evening, uncountable lanterns are lit up, making the town so colorful, lightful and full of romantic vibes. In every full moon, shimmering candle paper lanterns are dropped down the river.

The first advantage of the Old Town is convenience, because top-rated tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, spas, and more are mostly located in it.

Distance to the town or coast is bicycleable, or requires a short taxi or motorcycle drive. Many low areas of this portion of Hoi An countryside are inundated in the flood season.
Cham Islands
20 minutes by canoe from the mainland, Cham Islands is a well-protected archipelago where 3,000 people have been living. This marine park is famous for high diversity of underwater life, fresh seafoods, and shipwrecks filled by premium porcelains. In 2009, it’s designated to be a Unesco world biosphere reserve. The best time to visit is from February to the end of August yearly. See more information in our travel guide to Cham Islands.

Where to Stay in Hoi An – Beach or Town?
It’s hard to stay at the beach or the town which is better to stay, but it’s easier if travellers know what they want. If you like convenience and have many places with excellent services to choose from, the town definitely is a priority. But in high seasons, crowds and congestion are common to see in this zone. During the summer, the beach may be better to stay at but not perfect anymore in the wet season. If you are seeking friends from your home country to socialize, the beach is home of expat communities and venues run by foreigners. The oceanfront has breezy restaurant-bars with a tasty seafood menu and long beverage lists. For dining and entertainment at night, the Old Town is a hub of top-rated venues. Read our guides to Old Town and An Bang beach or Hoi An beach, to know more and decide by your own reasons.
Which is the Best Area to Stay in Hoi An?
The best area to stay in Hoi An depends on personal requirements, location (convenience), price, season and itinerary. The Old Town and its surroundings is the heart of the city.
