CONTENTS
During my time in Da Nang, I had the opportunity to stay at the Pullman Danang Beach Resort, one of the top 10 beach resorts in this area. Located right on the ocean front of the East Vietnam Sea, it is a great value luxury beach resort in Danang
The resort has made a feature of its entry, with a pavillion style, exposed beam roof and plenty of open space. My eyes were taken immediately past the plush arm chairs in the middle of the room, and through to the sunken bar, the large open windows and that view! With the ponds, fountains, swimming pool and ocean, water is a key feature at this resort, and the design makes the most of it all.
Arrival
As is customary at all the Vietnamese hotels I stayed at, the welcome drinks are brought out promptly and with pride. On a hot day, quenching your thirst with this refreshing ginger concoction is welcomed
The rooms
This property is on a sprawling complex, bordered by a medium-rise apartment building on one side, and restaurants and other facilities on the other. The superior and deluxe rooms, and suites, are all located together in the main accommodation building.
The superior and deluxe rooms offer a more affordable luxury room, whilst the Suites, ranging from Junior, Grand and the Penthouse reach further up the luxury and price scale.
Stand alone, luxury cottages are a unique addition. Set aside from the main resort, and nestled in amongst private gardens, these are the ultimate in luxury, but come with an associated luxurious price tag.
Our room
As a guest of the Pullman Danang, we got to stay in a Junior Suite. Located on level 9, we had a glorious view of the ocean and towards the peninsula.
This was an extremely spacious room, with an executive desk, lounge area, separate (and large) bathroom and a massive wrap around balcony.
The bathroom
The two-way entry bathroom has a large shower and double vanities, and doors lead out onto the balcony. The jacuzzi, with it’s view out over the ocean is without doubt the feature here.
The views
Great views can be had from the balconies. The smaller balcony off the bedroom offers ‘green’ views over the treetops, whilst the main balcony overlooks the ocean. Outdoor furniture in both areas are a nice inclusion.
Restaurants and bars
You’ll never go hungry here with multiple locations to eat and drink. From the fine dining restaurant Epice, to the more casual and relaxed Azure Beach Lounge, Infinity Bar. There’s something for everyone and for every occasion.
We had some fabulous food here, capped off with a special signature lunch. That one was so great that I will write about it separately to do it justice.
In the meantime, below is a sample of some of the food we had.
Other activities
The resort has a well equipped gym. Both have a view of the pool and out towards the ocean. Kayaks, jet skis and bikes are also available. Three international golf courses are also located nearby.
Food is an integral part of the Vietnamese culture and they love teaching newcomers the secrets. Cooking classes are conducted onsite at the resort. Bookings are required.
If relaxing is more your style then you can spend time by the pool, take a Tai Chi class, or head to the Spa for a massage or treatment.
A great place to stay
It’s a shame I didn’t get to spend some more time here. One night really isn’t enough to be able to fully appreciate everything that a resort like this has to offer.
The weather was also terrible when we were here, meaning the beach wasn’t a pleasant place to be. But since we can’t control the weather, there’s absolutely nothing that could be done about that.
Lookout for the next article where I’ll be featuring our signature lunch in the Azure Beach Lounge.
How to get here
Pullman Danang Beach Resort is approximately 15 minutes from Da Nang International Airport.
If you are planning where to stay in Da Nang be sure to check it out.
Shuttle buses do operate from the hotel to nearby Hoi An, however they are not included as part of your room rate, which is unfortunate.

A special thank you to the Pullman Danang Beach Resort for extending the invitation for me to stay with them. As always, my thoughts and opinions are my own.
What a nice place! I like the bathtub 🙂
I so regret skipping Danang when we were so close in Hoi An!!! This resort looks incredible! I love how fresh and cozy the rooms look. We keep saying we have to go back and explore more of Vietnam, when we do I think we HAVE to stay here!
Sounds divine – and plenty to occupy yourself at the Resort regardless of the weather. Great information for those looking for a luxurious stay in Vietnam.
That bathtub is amazing. I’d never leave it to go out to the beach
This sounds like a fantastic place to stay. One thing I love about Vietnam is that you can splurge a little bit and stay in beautiful resorts like this. It is a shame you didn’t get to explore everything it has to offer. Next time though!
What a beautiful beach resort! It looks so relaxing and peaceful. Those views and that bed and massive tub look like heaven on a holiday! I have yet to visit Vietnam but I would to check Pullman Danang Beach Resort out it looks perfect! I love that you have ‘his and hers beers’ on the balcony too hehe 😉
This looks like a fantastic place for some rest and relaxation! You had a great looking room with a great view, that’s for sure!
Wow what a nice, fancy hotel with amazing views! Vietnam is on my bucket list!
This place looks great– the room is so big! You know for me the food will always be the big draw and the food here looks amazing. I would definitely stay here while I was visiting!
Hi Kerri,
Beautiful!
When we stayed in Hoi An I recall seeing all those monstrous resorts right on the South China Sea, whenever we took the bus to Danang. Really epic big places. Wondering how they were gonna fill ’em 😉
Gorgeous place though. And Danang is a fun city. We spent 2 days there and hit the movies, headed to a fun little restaurant or 2, fabulous spot in a charming country. The Vietnamese are so kind, loving and open-hearted.
Thanks for sharing.

Looks like such a wonderful place 🙂 Would love to visit Vietnam sometime in the future, seems like a country that just has so much to offer..!
this looks great! thanks for a thorough review – the rooms in particular look really nice
Gotta love a hotel that gives you a refreshing drink when you check in! The rooms and balcony look so nice! What a view!
as much as I love roughing it, it’s so nice staying in a luxurious place like this. Looks so nice. Never been to that part of the world… one day though
I will visit SE Asia soon, so maybe I will include Vietnam in the itinerary. If I do, I will definitely consider this beautiful resort. I like the bathroom very much, and the bath tub looks gorgeous. The view is great, as well. I would definitely like to spend a few days here!
That is a very impressive bathroom! Total luxury!
It looks like your time in Danang was amazing! From how you were treated, the staff, hotel-food, and looks of the atmosphere definitely seems like a place I would have on my bucket list. That food looks amazing, I would probably go there just to say that I have tried it.
You would find me in that Jacuzzi first thing! I love the tradition of the cool, refreshing drinks when you arrive. I didn’t know that was a “thing”. And what a view!
Oh send me to the jacuzzi! This really looks like a stunning place to stay. The Pullman never disappoints. The food looks fabulous too! Will remember this in future.
It’s certainly great having a view from one ! Food here was great also.
Yes it’s definitely a common theme in Vietnam
Definitely worthy of a vist
Very much so!
It’s a great place to stay for sure. Hope you do get to Vietnam – amazing place.
I like a bit of both worlds too Lillian. The luxury here was awesome.
One of the most enduring memories I will always have is the hospitality of the Vietnamese people. Just gorgeous all of them.
Wait till you see what else they cooked for us.
Yes there is so much to do here. This was our last night in this area so it gave us plenty of time to relax.
Vietnam is on my bucket list!!! This hotel is beautiful. I hadn’t really thought what to expect in Vietnam but I’ll definitely be sure to keep this hotel on my radar when I visit, it looks wonderful!
Looks like a beautiful resort! Would definitely stay here if I visit Vietnam.
Wow that is a seriously nice hotel! I wanna stay there one day 🙂 🙂
A great place to stay – and convenient for airport and Hoi An. I expect it’s much more peaceful than staying in Hoi An itself. I’ll definitely bear this place in mind if I get to Da Nang.
The view (and muffins! yum yum yum) look lovely!
Yes that’s the great thing about it. So close, yet not in amongst it all.
Thanks Lyssie. There are quite a few in this area, but this one is a good one.
Haha – always his and hers beers ! The resort is just wonderful, you’d love it I’m sure.
That’s the tricky bit!
There’s definitely always a next time.
Yeah wwe certainly couldn’t complain about that view !
I almost did – almost just went straight to Hoi An. So glad we didn’t.
It does have so much, and such variety amongst the regions too.
What a spectacular view. You don’t get to wake up to that everyday.
What a beautiful hotel! We missed Da Nang on our last Vietnam trip, but will make sure to include this hotel on our next visit! It looks super lush!
Actually lush is a really good term to use for the resorts along this strip.
Most of the time, you’re lucky if you get a balcony at all. But to have two, and with such amazing views is unbelievable! Good thing the food looks so amazing, or I’d probably never leave the room lol! Oh, and I think it’s really cool that the hotel offers cooking classes too. That’s something I would definitely want to do during my stay.
that room looks huge! I also love the double walk-in shower. such luxury to have space in the shower. the photo of the little and large beer mugs made me laugh. My husband and I do something similar. He always goes supersize when it comes to beer.
What a beautiful resort! Your room was top notch and really modern, which I love. I’d probably have every meal out on the balcony of my room so I could enjoy that view. I really like hotels that have lots of choices for food just in case I don’t make it out for every meal. It’s nice to switch it up from time to time. It looks like you had a wonderful stay!
Looks amazing. I used to work for Accor in a Pullman in Australia so it’s great to see what other hotels look like. That bathroom looks divine.
Cool. Yes, it was all wonderful Alison.
I am with you Mia, love eating outside on the balconies and this is just the place for it.
Everyone seems to have noticed that. How funny! Sometimes I upsize it but not that often.
That is so true Vicky. Very spoilt I was to have two.
Wow, all so stunning! I really like places like this and, of course, the room and the views well who wouldn’t want to wake up with a nice and beautiful view like that?
