Set up on a cliffside above its own private bay, InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort sits surrounded by lush mountainous rainforest and sweeping sea views.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Lush rainforest wraps around the secluded bay, where endangered red-shanked douc langurs roam forty-five minutes north of ancient Hoi An.
The rooms
Dark teak woodwork and vibrant textiles frame every room, opening onto breezy sea-view terraces fitted with deep marble soaking tubs.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Outdoor swimming pools look across the private bay, from a palm-fringed garden pool to an adults-only infinity pool.
Spa and yoga
Lagoon-floating villas host tuning-fork sound therapies at Mi Sol Spa, and an open-air pavilion welcomes sunrise yoga.

Outdoor dining booths shaped like inverted conical hats hover high above the bay, serving regional Vietnamese dishes.

Restaurant
La Maison 1888
The Michelin-starred French restaurant occupies an elegant colonial mansion, serving tasting menus alongside an extensive cellar.
At the table
The Long Bar stretches across the beachfront with striped daybeds and swinging punkah fans for seaside cocktails.
