Hoi An Holidays

The best way to explore all that Hoi An has to offer is on foot. Chinese temples and Japanese merchant houses sit beside boutique hotels and sprawling markets. The Assembly Hall of the Fujian Chinese Congregation, dating from the 17th century houses some beautiful art, fascinating animal statues as well as an impressive, manicured garden.

The Thu Bon River run through the heart of Hoi An and is responsible for much of its history. A tranquil cruise down the river, passing coconut plantations and local fishermen is a must and we recommend jumping aboard a sampan, the wooden rowing boats used by the locals to get an authentic experience. For added enjoyment, take your trip at sunset and watch the sun disappear into the Vietnam Sea.

Glittering silk lanterns, for which Hoi An is famous, guide you on your journey across the river to the town’s night market located on what used to be an old banana plantation. Enjoy wandering amongst the lantern stalls that bask the market in a stunning array of colours and admire the infinite collection of silk on display. A visit to this bustling, nocturnal market is not to be missed.

Hoi An is blessed with some beautiful beaches, from the tranquillity of stunning Ha My beach, located 13 kilometres from the town to the main tourist beach of Cua Dai, perfect for people watching. Finally, An Bahn, voted amongst the world’s most beautiful beaches is home to soft, white sand, gentle waves and a multitude of seafood bamboo restaurants. If you are looking for sun, sea and sand, Hoi An will deliver.
