‘Discover Central Vietnam’s Natural and Cultural Treasures at InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort

The long, golden coastlines are perfect for sun-worshippers and water sports, while the lush rainforests of the Son Tra Nature Reserve let guests step off the tourist trail and reconnect with the environment. Visitors can shop and dine in dynamic Danang, explore the historic charms of Hoi An and Hue, discover world-class wellness and much more.

At the heart of this idyllic region lies InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, the five-star sanctuary which was design by Bill Bensley and spans four levels – Heaven, Sky, Earth and Sea – on the Son Tra Peninsula. Every vacation starts the moment you touch down and doesn’t end until you take off again, with airport meet-and-greet services and private transfers along one of the world’s most scenic coastal roads.

So, whether you are seeking a spa break, cultural escape, natural retreat or gastronomic getaway, InterContinental Danang lets you uncover the many wonders of central Vietnam.

Cultural Discoveries: Discover Heavenly Hoi An or Imperial Hue

Step back into Vietnam’s elegant past at Hoi An Ancient Town or Hue’s Imperial Citadel, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. With its colourful shophouses, cobbled lanes and colonial-style buildings, including the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, Hoi An showcases the area’s rich history as a thriving international port. InterContinental Danang provides a handy “in-the-know” guide to the town’s must-see sites – or, you can hire our private guide for a bespoke guided visit. Meanwhile, Hue – the former imperial capital of Vietnam – is packed with historical treasures including the “Purple Forbidden City,” an enchanting walled complex of palaces, gardens, temples and villas that was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty for almost 150 years. Today, it reflects the grace and grandeur of a bygone era and mesmerizes with ornately decorated tombs of Vietnam’s former kings – truly fascinating!  Discover more.

Beach Breaks & Eco Retreats: Be Immersed in the Beauty of Nature

Central Vietnam is a coastal paradise of natural wonders, from glorious golden beaches to lush, unspoiled jungles. Soak up the sun on Danang’s popular beaches or unwind at InterContinental Danang’s own private sandy cove. Alternatively, lace up your hiking boots and head into the Son Tra Nature Reserve, Vietnam’s oldest coastal forest and the home of the red-shanked douc langur, one of the world’s rarest species of primate. Join the resident biologist and learn about the resort’s conservation projects, take a stroll to the majestic 800-year-old banyan tree (about 45 minutes from the Resort), or even hike to the summit of Son Tra Mountain. Discover more.

Dynamic Danang: Dining, Entertainment and Golf

Danang is relatively quiet compared to Vietnam’s other large cities, but boasts a range of terrific Vietnamese and international restaurants, and nightspots both along the beach and hidden on quiet side alleys. Visitors can explore the Marble Mountains, limestone formations that are punctuated with caves, many with shrines and other historic artworks. Bana Hills is a former colonial mountaintop hill station transformed into an amusement park – accessible by an exciting cable car journey – and at its foot, the Ba Na Hills Golf Club is among Vietnam’s most exceptional.
