InterContinental Danang Invites Taiwanese Travellers to Discover the Heart and Soul of Vietnam

DANANG, VIETNAM, July 22, 2026 – As an increasing number of Taiwanese travellers choose to swap conventional sightseeing tours for more immersive, experience-focused vacations, Vietnam is emerging as one of their most popular destinations. With its privileged location on the pristine Son Tra Peninsula, InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is perfectly placed to meet this trend with a series of natural, cultural and wellness activities that connect guests with the essence of their locale. 

According to the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT), more than 600,000 Taiwanese nationals visited Vietnam in the first six months of 2026 – a 48% surge compared with the same period before the pandemic in 2019¹. This reflects how Vietnam is capturing visitors’ imaginations with its focus on wellness, sustainability, heritage and cuisine. 

A Design Icon Infused with Art and Culture 

The breakout project of acclaimed architect and designer Bill Bensley, InterContinental Danang is a haven of art and creativity. Guests can embark on the Bill Bensley Digital Design Tour, which reveals the influences behind this one-of-a-kind concept, which took inspiration from Vietnam’s ancient temples, fishing villages and colonial architecture. The Nam Tram funicular railway, which is designed to resemble a traditional basket boat, transports guests up the cliffside to Sky Level, where the BENSLEY Outsider Gallery presents Bill Bensley’s original paintings. 

Curious explorers who want to delve deeper into Central Vietnam’s rich history can head to a trio of UNESCO-listed attractions. Hoi An is an historic port town, famed for its charming cobbled streets and ornate bridges, while the Hue Citadel is the former Vietnamese capital and “Forbidden City” where the Nguyen Dynasty ruled until 1945. Moving further back in time, My Son Sanctuary is a captivating temple complex that reveals the secrets of the region’s ancient Champa Kingdom. 

Natural Excursions to “Monkey Mountain” 

InterContinental Danang is not only a five-star beachfront retreat; it is also an environmental sanctuary that works to protect wildlife in the Son Tra Peninsula – including one of the last remaining populations of red-shanked douc langurs, a beautiful but critically-endangered species of primate. Visitors can now uncover the wonders of the Son Tra Peninsula with expert-led excursions.  

The three-hour Banyan Tree Hike leads visitors through the rainforest to an 800-year-old banyan tree, whilst learning about the flora and fauna en route, while the new 1km Ecowalk is a less strenuous option that showcases the many tropical plants, colourful butterflies and beautiful birds that live in and around the resort. For a truly immersive adventure, guests can head to the peak of Son Tra Mountain – affectionately known as “Monkey Mountain” – on a Wildlife Expedition that highlights the many plants and animals that can be found in this vibrant nature reserve, including red-shanked douc langurs. At the summit, travellers will be rewarded with panoramic views of the ocean and city. 

Holistic Wellness to Retune the Body, Mind and Soul 

Wellness seekers can tune out of the daily hustle and bustle, and tune into the sounds of the rainforest at Mi Sol Spa, an oasis of tranquillity set around a secluded lagoon. Named after the tones in the musical scale, this stylish spa envelops guests in a world of sound therapy, as wellbeing experts use tuning forks to enhance the flow of “qi”, or natural energy, through the body. This philosophy comes to life through signature treatments for singles and couples that align tuning fork vibrations with flowing massage strokes. Children can also enjoy their first taste of wellness with gentle massages, accompanied by parents in the comfort of their room. 

At Sea Level, the Yoga Pavilion sets the scene for sound meditation and frequency yoga, overlooking the ocean, while new Aqua Yoga classes and Aqua Sound Bath Meditation sessions on floating mats in the pool can help to enhance guests’ physical and mental balance. Five new Pickleball Courts are also being introduced to let active travellers discover this popular new sport. 

Luxury Gastronomy with MICHELIN Starred Chefs 

With six exceptional restaurants and bars, including the only venue in Central Vietnam to hold a Michelin Star, InterContinental Danang is a culinary destination in its own right. At La Maison 1888, diners experience the epicurean artistry of Christian Le Squer, the doyen of French fine dining and former global “Chef of the Year” who oversees an haute cuisine concept in an elegant Indochine-style mansion. 

High up in the jungle canopy, Tingara is a dramatic teppanyaki restaurant where MICHELIN-rated chef Junichi Yoshida presents world-class Japanese cuisine with 360-degree views of the forest and ocean, while Citron showcases the flavours of Vietnam, including authentic regional dishes, and offers the chance to dine in seating booths designed like traditional non-la conical hats. Terra Mare specialises in coastal Italian cuisine, and L_o_n_g Bar lets guests sip cool cocktails on oversized daybeds, as punkah fans sway rhythmically overhead. 

Danang is easily accessible from Taiwan, with direct flights from Taipei (Taoyuan), Taichung, and Kaohsiung.
