Discover the best luxury spa hotels in Hoi An, Vietnam

Nose around 19th-century merchant houses, explore temples or just browse the cafés and galleries of this river-straddling former trading port. It’s a small coastal city to be savoured, slowly. Just beyond town is China Beach, one of the most alluring stretches of sand in the country, hugging the coast all the way to Danang. Culture cravers won’t be disappointed either, as the hinterland cradles the vestiges of an older empire, including the Cham temples of My Son. Add to the mix diving around the Cu Lao Cham Marine Park and the excuse to replace your wardrobe for a steal and you’ll find Hoi An is the real deal.
