What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
With 330 rooms and suites it’s certainly not a secret, but New World Hoiana Beach Resort offers a degree of tranquility that’s rare for a hotel of its size,
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Hoi An's Ancient Town sits fifteen minutes north. Out here, coastal dunes and open shoreline flank the property.
The rooms
Rooms have pale timber accents and coconut-fiber mattresses, and private balconies look out toward the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Curved lagoon pools wind through lawns and palm gardens, edged by thatched pavilions right along the oceanfront.
The spa
Soak slowly.
Curved treatment suites look out on an outdoor reflecting pool. Inside, heated mosaic loungers line the marble relaxation room.
Gym and pool deck
Submerged loungers sit directly in the water, and the gym looks out over the surrounding gardens.
At the table
Cove Bar & Grill cooks local seafood over glowing coals beside the pool, and The Commons roasts nuts in-house.
How it began
Architects WATG shaped the 2023 design around Central Vietnam's river estuaries and Hoi An's floating lanterns.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
