Vietnam is quickly gaining traction as a flop-and-drop destination for beach lovers, with its palm-fringed bays, golden sands and turquoise waters, stretching from Ha Long, to central Da Nang, and Phu Quoc in the south.
These are the top hotels in Vietnam for a beachside break.
We upgraded to a villa when we arrived and the accommodation was beyond our expectations.
The service was excellent and the staff outstanding.
Overall our package was great value for money including meals, drinks, massage and transfers.
We would definitely stay at this resort again and highly recommend as relaxing value for money escape.

We just stayed for 11 nights in two-bedroom Villa 28 and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish.
The villa was beautiful, spacious and incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with a huge variety of delicious options every morning.
What really made our stay special was the exceptional staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everyone was genuinely warm and helpful. A special thank you to Nhi from Concierge and Brian, Villa Manager, who both went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They even surprised my husband with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful touch.
The complimentary shuttle bus to Hoi An was also fantastic and made exploring the town so easy.
Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. Beautiful accommodation, outstanding service, delicious breakfast and a peaceful atmosphere – we couldn’t have asked for more. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend!

We recently stayed at Angsana Lang Co. to celebrate a beloved friend’s birthday, the entire experience exceeded our highest expectations.
The absolute highlight of our stay was the exceptional service. The resort’s team of staff, flawlessly coordinated by our dedicated Butler, Windy, went completely above and beyond to help us execute a series of birthday surprises. Their guest-centric approach was evident in every single detail, they didn't just fulfill requests—they anticipated our needs and added special, thoughtful touches that made our friend feel incredibly celebrated and cherished.
The natural beauty of the resort, and the wide variety of facilities combined with the heart warming hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We will surely be back, and we have no hesitation in recommending this place to all of our friends and family. Thank you to the incredible team for making our celebration so perfect!

Amazing stay one we wont forget. Angsana Lang Co is wonderful. Exceptional service. The resort itself is just stunning, great layout of facilities. It was exactly what we wanted – luxury, quiet, relaxing beach stay ( **note you are tucked away from main town) its perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle.
We booked a Seaview Junior King Pool Suite and spent 5 wonderful nights here.
Breakfast – great variety of food options – western & asian etc.
Main pool is amazing – its massive, we often has entire areas to ourselves. The grounds are very well maintained.
Our pool suite was very spacious equipped with separate lounge / kitchen area. Huge bedroom and bathroom.
All areas were incredibly clean. Twice day turn downs / housekeeping. Very accomodating with requests. The whatsapp messaging was really handy and easy to use to organise anything from requesting towels or a pool clean or room service.
There is alot to occupy your day, plenty of equipment to hire, boat ride, pool, table tennis, jetskis, daily activities you can book including coffee making or yoga.
Onsite spa was great experience clean and professional service.
Beach is patrolled, it was fairly calm and beach itself is clean.
Highlight was our destination dinner for our anniversary. 5 star it was exceptional – from the service, the food, atmosphere and amazing tent set up. Thank you for making it an unforgettable experience.
We also had gifted by family a floating breakfast which was cool!
We are extremely impressed with everything Angsana has to offer. Highly recommend!! Everything was perfection.

We had such a lovely stay at this hotel with our family of five in villa 125 and 126. Everyone was so welcoming and really made us feel at home.
As we are vegetarian, there was a little bit of a learning curve at first when it came to the food, but the team were very understanding and quickly adapted to our needs. We really appreciated how willing everyone was to help and make sure we had good options, especially at breakfast.
A special thank you to Jade, who was absolutely amazing from the moment we checked in. She went above and beyond throughout our entire stay, always checking in on us and making sure everything was okay. Her attention to detail and genuine kindness really stood out.
Doa Hoang, Chef Nho and Chef Hoi were also fantastic and so accommodating. The breakfast staff, room service team and cleaning team were all lovely too. Everyone was friendly, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile.
Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay. We felt genuinely looked after.

Avani Quy Nhon Resort
Quy Nhon is the Vietnam beach destination that hasn’t been overrun yet – a working fishing city on the south-central coast with 11th-century Cham towers inland, low-key local markets and a stretch of golden sand that most international visitors still don’t know about. The Avani sits on a cliff-sheltered section of that beach, with rooms overlooking the South China Sea and TRE, a bamboo-clad restaurant, handling three meals daily. The pool bar, Gio, covers the hours in between. The Anantara Spa runs treatments in open-air pavilions surrounded by jungle; the AvaniKids Club keeps younger guests occupied.
Why stay here? A retreat designed for rest and relaxation by the beach.
Set on a sandy peninsula on the northeast coast, surrounded by swaying palms and tropical gardens, voco Quang Binh Resort by IHG feels like Vietnam’s best-kept secret. Elegant suites and villas offer private pools, secluded gardens and deep-soaking bathtubs just steps from a pristine stretch of Bao Ninh Beach, where powder-white sand meets crystal-clear water. Savour uninterrupted ocean views from the all-day restaurant, pool bar and serene day spa, or use the resort as a base for exploring natural wonders including Hang Son Doong, the world’s largest cave.
Why stay here? Luxury pool suites and villas on the shores of a private beach.
Fabulous! Absolutely nice place to stay and spend valuable time with your family

I just had a wonderful stay at voco Resort Quang Binh and highly recommend it. My room was lovely and very spacious. The private beach was a highlight, providing a peaceful and scenic place to relax. I was also very impressed by the staff, who were incredibly helpful and kind. If you are planning a trip to the area, this resort is a fantastic choice!
Angsana Quan Lan

Set on a tranquil island at the eastern edge of Bai Tu Long Bay – Ha Long Bay’s pristine next-door neighbour – this five-star island retreat is a playground for all ages. Ride the resort zipline straight to the porcelain shores, challenge the family to a round of mini golf or explore the coastline by kayak, paddleboard or snorkel. Cool off in the rooftop Sky Pool overlooking the waves, then drop the little ones at Terra Kids’ Club and unwind with an Onsen experience at Angsana Spa.
Why stay here? Five-star island retreat with a zipline, mini golf and watersports centre.

We had an incredible stay at Angsana Quan Lan and it was truly one of the most unique experiences of our trip.
The service made all the difference. GM Kurt was exceptional, thoughtful, present, and clearly someone who cares deeply about every detail of the guest experience. He even surprised us with a birthday cake sent to our room for my husband, which was such a special and personal touch. Kien Nguyễn, the Food & Beverage Manager, was equally wonderful. He helped us sort out the bikes and made our time in the restaurant feel easy and welcoming. You can really feel the level of care from the entire team.
The room was huge, spotless, and very comfortable, with a great bed and beautiful views. The breakfast buffet was impressive, especially considering everything has to be brought to the island by boat. There was a wide variety of fresh and hot options each morning.
The pool and beach are absolutely stunning, but what made it even more special was the rhythm of the island. Even though the hotel was fully booked, we had the beach and pool almost completely to ourselves from around 9 am to 4 pm. We later learned this is cultural, as many Vietnamese guests avoid the midday sun and stay indoors during those hours. It created this peaceful, almost private resort feeling during the day, followed by a lively, vibrant atmosphere in the late afternoon and evening.
If you’re looking for a place that feels both luxurious and completely different from the typical tourist experience, this is it.
