Our Assessment
Why we recommend Anantara Resorts Vietnam.
Three very different properties, one sensibility: a river resort in Hoi An, beach villas in Quy Nhon, and The Vietage luxury train connecting them — the most coherent way to experience central Vietnam in one journey.
The sequence Hoi An → Vietage → Quy Nhon is the more natural direction: town and river first, then the journey, then the sea. The Vietage does not run daily — book berths early. In Quy Nhon: Ocean View Pool Villa for the sea view from the bedroom, Beachfront Pool Villa for private beach access. An evening at the open fire at Sea.Fire.Salt restaurant in Quy Nhon is worth planning for.

Fit & Season
When this property truly shines.
- Best season
- February to May — dry and warm across both regions; Hoi An and Quy Nhon have different rainy seasons, with a shared dry window in the transition period.
- Ideal for
- Couples and travellers who want to sense Vietnam through a shift in pace and setting, not just observe it.
- Personally visited
- Partner verified
- What stays with you
- Breakfast at the panoramic window of The Vietage as rice fields slide past — then six hours later, a private infinity pool at the Beachfront Villa in Quy Nhon.
- The Vietage makes the journey between Hoi An and Quy Nhon an experience in itself: lounge bar, sleeping berths, wine service — the train is not a transfer, it is part of the itinerary.
- Anantara Quy Nhon: private Beachfront Pool Villas with direct beach access on one of Vietnam's quietest coastlines.
- Anantara Hoi An: colonial riverside resort ten minutes' walk from the old town and market — Indochinese character without the stage-set feeling.
- We combine all three properties as a single itinerary and know the best rooms in each house personally.
Climate & best time to travel
When it rewards you most.
Best time to travel February to May for the central coast, October to April for Mai Chau
Vietnam is long and the weather varies sharply by region. The central coast around Hoi An and Quy Nhon is dry from February to August; the rains run September to December, when Hoi An sees most of its rainfall. Summer can turn very hot on the coast. Mai Chau in the mountains north of Hanoi, by contrast, has a cool, mostly dry winter from November to April at 17 to 22 degrees. A combined trip is best planned in the shoulder months of February to April.
- February to May (Hoi An, Quy Nhon) Mild, largely dry weather on the central coast, ideal for beach, old town and boat trips. Quy Nhon stays dry a little longer than Hoi An.
- November to April (Mai Chau, north) Cool, mostly dry mountain winter around 17 to 22 degrees. Golden rice fields and good conditions for walks and White Thai village visits.
- September to December (central coast) Rainy season with the year's heaviest rainfall and occasional storms. Better avoided for Hoi An and Quy Nhon.
- June to August (central coast) Dry but very hot and humid, with values well above 35 degrees. The water is pleasant, land excursions tiring.

Experiences
What you come here for.
-
Travelling by The Vietage between Hoi An and Quy Nhon
The luxury train The Vietage links the two coastal houses as an experience in itself: a panorama carriage, lounge bar and wine service while rice fields pass the window. The journey becomes part of the trip.
-
Evening in the old town of Hoi An
It is a ten-minute walk from the riverside resort into the UNESCO old town, which belongs to pedestrians in the evening. Lanterns, tailors' shops and food stalls, without the motorbike traffic of the day.
-
Beach days on the coast of Quy Nhon
The beachfront pool villas in Quy Nhon open onto one of the quietest coasts of central Vietnam, barely developed for tourism. A private pool, direct beach access and swimming off an empty sea.
-
Trip to the Cham towers
Brick towers of the Cham kingdom stand around Quy Nhon and Hoi An; the Banh It towers near Quy Nhon make a good half-day. A look at a culture that predates the Vietnamese shaping of the coast.
Local Experiences
What shapes the stay.
- Hoi An Ancient Town — UNESCO World Heritage site, walkable from the resort, evenings closed to motor traffic.
- Quy Nhon coastline — one of the least developed stretches of beach in central Vietnam, no hotel chains except Anantara.
- Mỹ Sơn Cham Temples — the most significant Hindu sanctuary in Vietnam, a day trip from Hoi An.
