Bay Resort Hoi An - a train carriage filled with memories of the glorious era of the port city.

Located on the banks of the picturesque Hoai River with expansive views of Hoi An ancient town, Bay Resort Hoi An is the newest resort, having opened its doors to guests at the end of March.

Bay Resort Hoi An is located in Xuyen Trung, Cam Nam, Hoi An, Quang Nam. The resort boasts a prime location, just a 5-minute walk across the Cam Nam bridge to Hoi An Old Town. From the Old Town, Bay Resort Hoi An stands out with its distinctive architecture of traditional houses and tiled roofs characteristic of Hoi An.

Designed by the renowned architectural firm Scott Brownrigg (UK), the resort embodies the distinctive character of Hoi An through its design featuring familiar yellow walls, gently slatted wooden shutters that let in sunlight, and lush green gardens that run along the entrance to Bay Resort Hoi An.

Boasting expansive views of Hoi An's ancient town and the emerald green Hoai River, the resort's outdoor swimming pool is considered the best spot to watch the sunset in Hoi An, as the sun sinks over the confluence of the Hoai and Thu Bon rivers. Besides swimming, guests can stroll or cycle along the Hoai River and admire the ancient town at dusk.

Stepping into the resort's corridors, visitors feel as if they've wandered into a miniature labyrinth of ancient town, with rows of three-story yellow buildings and brown wooden windows. The yellow walls stand out under the bright early-season sunlight of Hoi An, further enhancing the place's radiant beauty.

Guests can choose from one of Bay Resort Hoi An's 128 rooms, each with its own unique story. These rooms are like train carriages filled with nostalgic memories, their architecture inspired by Hoi An from the 15th to 19th centuries.

The interior of Bay Resort Hoi An was brought to life by the design office EDC International (Malaysia) with extremely elegant touches such as a comfortable workspace, plush sofas, and a well-designed lighting system.

Rooms at Bay Resort Hoi An overlook the Hoai River, offering panoramic views of the bustling market – once a vibrant trading port, now teeming with people as evening falls. The rhythm of the riverside town, the occasional cheerful music from the boats plying the waterways, creates a lively and beautiful Hoi An experience. Other rooms face the greenery – a courtyard garden separating the two rows of rooms and a lush green outdoor garden, providing a completely relaxing feeling of returning to nature.

One of the highlights of this resort is the completely free minibar, which is refilled daily. You'll enjoy carefully selected food and drinks made from local produce.

Another highlight of Bay Resort Hoian is the Olah! Pool Bar & Grill, located by the pool overlooking the river, offering stunning sunset views of the old town. What could be more relaxing than watching the afternoon sun and the tranquil pace of life in the old town, while enjoying drinks inspired by Hoi An landmarks such as the Seven-Acre Coconut Forest, Thanh Ha Pottery Village, Cham Island, or Tra Que Tea?

A short walk from Olah! is the unique Olive Tree restaurant. Decorated in a Mediterranean style, this restaurant offers a distinctive experience with an attractive fusion European-Asian menu. Besides signature dishes like grilled American Black Angus beef with coriander sauce, mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables, or pan-seared Hokkaido scallops with spaghetti and cinnamon sauce, the restaurant also offers familiar Vietnamese dishes.

After a day of sightseeing, Breathe Spa is the ideal stop for mind and body care and energy restoration. Breathe focuses on reflexology, a natural therapy that uses pressure techniques on reflex zones on the feet or hands to promote deep relaxation and activate the body's natural self-healing abilities.

Bay Resort Hoi An is considered the ideal stopover for exploring Hoi An at a "close distance" with breathtaking views.
