Da Nang

The city of bridges, the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills and central Vietnam's best beaches

About Da Nang Resort

Da Nang is Vietnam's fourth-largest city, set on the South China Sea coast in the centre of the country. It is famous for its nine bridges across the Han River, each with a unique design, and for the 30-kilometre My Khe Beach, which Forbes has placed among the world's most beautiful beaches. Da Nang is a vibrant, modern resort that blends a beach holiday with a rich excursion programme.

The region's cultural heritage is striking in scale. Just 30 kilometres away lies Hoi An — an ancient trading port of the 15th–19th centuries, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its thousands of silk lanterns. A hundred kilometres further sits imperial Hue, capital of Vietnam's last dynasty, the Nguyen, with its palaces and tombs. The Marble Mountains are five limestone hills housing Buddhist cave shrines. And the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, perched at 1,414 metres, has become one of the most photographed landmarks in Asia.

AMIST runs charter flights and provides full trip support. Da Nang's airport is just 3 km from the city centre — one of the most convenient airports in Vietnam. Russian citizens can enter visa-free for up to 45 days. The AMIST team will pick a hotel on My Khe Beach, arrange excursions to Hoi An, Hue and Ba Na Hills, and handle transfers and insurance.

What Our Travelers Say

★★★★★

The Golden Bridge is something extraordinary — photos don't capture even a tenth of the experience. And Hoi An in the evening, with thousands of lanterns, feels like stepping into a fairytale. AMIST arranged everything perfectly: transfers right on schedule, a hotel on My Khe itself. We'll definitely be back!

★★★★★

We flew with two children — My Khe Beach is perfect for families: fine sand, a gentle slope into the water, clean sea. At Ba Na Hills, the kids loved the amusement park and the cable car. Our AMIST manager picked a hotel with a kids' club. The best family holiday ever!

★★★★★

I came for the waves — and My Khe didn't disappoint. The surf school is great, the instructor patient, the gear new. Between sessions I wandered through Hoi An and ate banh mi on every corner. AMIST sorted out the board hire and accommodation right by the spot.

★★★★★

The Dragon Bridge fire show is a memory for life! And the trip to Hue over the Hai Van Pass is a story in itself — the views are stunning. The Imperial Palace is reminiscent of Beijing's Forbidden City. Thanks to AMIST for an excellent guide.

Elena K. "Da Nang + Hue," November 2025
★★★★★

This is our second trip to Da Nang with AMIST — and once again everything was flawless. The first time it was just the two of us; this time we brought our parents. The managers remember our preferences and chose the perfect hotel and excursions. We're already thinking about a third trip!
