InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort

Scattered across the hillside, the resort has a place for every occasion and each one with a view to blow your socks off. Inventive cocktails are available in gravity-defying conical lounges or in the moody Buffalo Bar, named after a humorous legend - be sure to ask the staff! Casual meals can be enjoyed barefoot on the beach or fancier fare at Sun Peninsula's pièce de résistance, La Maison 1888 where French-a-la-Vietnamese cuisine is served in dining nooks like Le Boudoir de Madame. Choose from the seaside pool or the adult's-only oasis, and luxuriate at the spa set on a private lagoon.

Clothed in stylish monochrome threads, each room has a terrace you can really stretch out on - with a view that's really something. Walls lined with vivid artwork conceal cloud-like beds and bathrooms you might mistake for a spa with rain showers and specially designed bath enclaves. Your options range from (slightly) more modest suites to spa villas and mansion-like villas with three bedrooms, marble dining tables and your own butler, chef and chauffeur! The Royal Residence has a divine infinity pool, over-water dining pavilion and personal bar.

After you enjoy just the right amount of sand between your toes, delve into some oceanic activities as you take to the water by kayak, paddleboard or windsurf. Sail across the bay to find a secluded snorkelling spot or cast your line on a fishing expedition. Head inland for a trek through the reserve to spot its verdant birdlife or stop to find your centre with a spot of Tai Chi. Trundle into central Hoi An to discover the relics of ancient kingdoms and stroll down the quaint Old Town streets.
