InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort
Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang, Vietnam
Location
Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang
The resort occupies a private bay on the Son Tra Peninsula, within the Son Tra Nature Reserve — Vietnam's last coastal rainforest, home to red-shanked douc langurs — fronting a 700-metre private beach. It is about 30 minutes from Da Nang and from Hoi An: a secluded destination, gateway to the region's UNESCO sites.
Transfer
A Da Nang transfer
Fly into Da Nang (DAD), then it's about a 30-minute transfer out to the Son Tra Peninsula. The resort is secluded — a private bay in a nature reserve — with Hoi An, the Marble Mountains and Hue arranged as day trips.
Villas
Rooms to villas, four levels
Rooms, suites, penthouses, villas and residences spread across four named levels — Heaven, Sky, Earth and Sea — linked by a funicular styled like a local boat. They climb from marble-bathed rooms through Seaview Suites to the Seaside Villas ‘on the Rocks’ over the ocean and the Villa Collection residences, the private-pool villas with a round-the-clock host. Bensley's design runs through all of it.
Best For
Who it suits
Honeymooners and couples drawn to a dramatic, secluded design icon, foodies after MICHELIN dining, and families with the Planet Trekkers club — for travellers who want a destination resort and don't mind being a short drive from town.
Board Basis
B&B
Booked on bed and breakfast. Six venues run from MICHELIN-starred French at La Maison 1888 to hillside Vietnamese, Japanese omakase, beach seafood and the longest bar in Vietnam, so half-board and dine-around are a pleasure.
Overview
A Bensley clifftop design icon
The InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is Bill Bensley's clifftop masterpiece, and it announces itself the moment you arrive: a funicular, styled like a local boat, carries you down four named levels — Heaven, Sky, Earth and Sea — to a private bay on the Son Tra Peninsula. The setting is wild and rare: thirty-nine hectares inside the Son Tra Nature Reserve, Vietnam's last coastal rainforest, where red-shanked douc langurs live in the trees, fronting a 700-metre private beach. The design is pure Bensley theatre — temple-inspired, lotus and yin-yang motifs, Indochine colour — and the dining peaks at La Maison 1888, the MICHELIN-starred French restaurant set in a recreated colonial mansion that earned central Vietnam its first star. There is an Olympic-length pool with an underwater bar, pool villas with a round-the-clock host, and a Planet Trekkers kids' club. It is a secluded honeymoon-and-design icon about thirty minutes from the city and from Hoi An — a destination in its own right.
