You arrive on Truong Sa Street in Ngu Hanh Son Ward, on the Da Nang coast, with golf course views from some suites and the beach along the shoreline. The resort brings suites and private pool villas together around a central infinity pool, so the walk from your door to sand, restaurant or spa is short and unhurried. It suits couples, families and groups travelling together.

Suites start at 60 sqm and look over the gardens, the golf course or the ocean, with living space, floor-to-ceiling windows and freestanding bathtubs in many. Pool suites bring a private plunge pool to the balcony, and the two bedroom suites give groups separate bedrooms. Villas range from one bedroom to five, each with a private swimming pool, a fully equipped kitchen and living and dining space.

A floodlit tennis court is free to use, and beach sports include volleyball, football, petanque and frisbee, with kayaks and underwater scooters for the water. The Kids Club runs cookie making, origami, bracelet making, sand painting, seashell crafts and Vietnamese lessons. Lantern making suits all ages, and Biscuit hosts live sports on big screens, gin tastings, themed events and live entertainment.

Two outdoor pools anchor the resort: a 1,071 sqm infinity pool at its centre and a 227 sqm beachfront pool beside the sand. Maia Spa and Wellness Center has 26 treatment rooms, a 261 sqm indoor salted heated pool set in a garden, an infrared sauna, a herbal steam room and a Redwell therapy room, while the fitness centre looks onto the garden. Selected daily activities such as aerial yoga and sound healing are complimentary.

Four venues cover the day. Fresh Restaurant serves Vietnamese, Asian and international dishes from island buffet stations and an open kitchen, with a private dining room and a children's play area overlooking the pool and beach. Char Grill House turns to surf and turf from a wood-fire open kitchen, with sea views from the terrace and a curated wine cellar. Breeze Beach Club keeps things casual with pizza, burgers and pasta by the water, while Biscuit Café, the resort's sports bar and lounge, moves from coffee to cocktails and one of Da Nang's most extensive gin collections.

The resort stands on Truong Sa Street in Ngu Hanh Son Ward, on the Da Nang coast, and Non Nuoc Beach runs along the shoreline. The hotel does not publish distances to the airport or to Da Nang city sights, so it is worth asking about transfer times when you book.
