Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort

Location

Situated on a private bay on the Son Tra peninsula, the Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is just 30 minutes' drive from Danang airport and the city. However, with its secluded location amongst lush hills, mountains and quiet sandy shores, it feels a world away from the city. Surrounded by a 2,500-hectare nature reserve, the resort is home to a variety of wildlife, including playful macaques and stunning red-shanked doucs. The resort is also conveniently located near several UNESCO World Heritage sites. The charming town of Hoi An is just an hour's drive away, and you can also easily visit the ancient ruins of Mỹ Sơn and the former imperial city of Huế.

Accommodation

All rooms at the hotel have a balcony with stunning ocean views, blending traditional Vietnamese design with contemporary touches. The hotel is made up of several buildings that resemble whitewashed mansions with clay-tiled roofs and black trim. Corner suites have extra-large terraces, while penthouse suites come with kitchens, canopied beds, and rooftop pools. For extra privacy, there are several standalone villas and residences ranging from one to four bedrooms, offering private pools and comfortable day beds. All villas come with 24/7 personal butler service and club lounge benefits.

Dining

Serving French cuisine with a Vietnamese twist, La Maison 1888 is the headline award-winning fine dining restaurant, and the resort's signature dining experience. Designed like the home of a fictitious colonial French family, the restaurant is adorned in period furnishings and unique mementos. Pho breakfasts, afternoon tea and Sunday champagne brunches are served at Citron, and casual bites from grilled meats to seafood are available beachside at Barefoot. Nearby L_O_N_G Bar – situated under the main swimming pool – is a casual space with day beds, punkah fans and a menu of expertly crafted cocktails.

Facilities

The Mi Sol Spa is a set in its own area within the resort, nestled on a lagoon dotted with floating treatment huts. Treatments include massages, facials and body scrubs, while the spa also offers access to a sauna, steam room and plunge pool. Guests can also join daily yoga and tai chi classes if preferred. Along the front of the hotel there are two pool areas, one a shaded family friendly garden pool and the other plunge pool for adults. There is an additional pool above the L_O_N_G Bar consisting of an infinity pool overlooking the resort and beach. You'll find a series of water sports along the beach, from kayaking to stand-up paddleboards and windsurfing.
