Anantara Hoi An

Location 

Set along the banks of the Thu Bôn River, just a short stroll from the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An’s UNESCO-listed Ancient Town, Anantara Hoi An Resort offers a peaceful retreat within easy reach of the city’s historic landmarks, artisan boutiques and riverside cafés. Its low-rise architecture and tropical gardens evoke the elegance of a colonial-style residence, blending French, Dutch, Chinese and Japanese influences in homage to Hoi An’s rich and diverse past.

Accommodation 

The 94 rooms and suites are spread across two and three-storey buildings, each designed with split-level layouts that create a sense of space and intimacy. Interiors combine contemporary comforts with local charm, featuring hardwood furnishings, soft linens, ceiling fans and authentic Vietnamese artwork. Every room comes with a private terrace or balcony, many of which overlook the garden or river.

Dining 

Hoi An Riverside, the resort’s main restaurant, serves Vietnamese and international cuisine in a relaxed indoor-outdoor setting, with an enticing menu featuring everything from freshly prepared pho and rice-paper rolls to grilled meats and seafood. There’s also Art Space, where pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and salads are served to a colourful backdrop of contemporary art. A bountiful buffet breakfast is served at Lanterns, while throughout the day guests can enjoy the likes of cocktails, teas and light snacks at the Reflections Pool Bar. Cooking classes are available, too, offering the chance to learn traditional recipes using fresh ingredients from the local market.

Facilities 

Surrounded by palms and flowering plants, the central courtyard swimming pool provides a tranquil space for lounging, while the Anantara Spa offers a variety of treatments rooted in Vietnamese wellness traditions. There’s also a fitness centre, yoga classes, and complimentary bicycles available for exploring the surrounding area. River cruises, countryside excursions and cultural tours can also be arranged on-site.
