InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort

Sprawling down the jungle clad hills of the Son Tra Peninsula to the sea, the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is an exquisitely modern retreat.

A fully realised creation of designer Bill Bensley, 197 rooms and suites are scattered around the sheltered bay and its private beach.

All are wonderfully kitted out with playful Bensley touches and each extremely spacious – the entry room category comes in at 70 square metres (753 square feet). Many of the suites enjoy wonderful private terraces areas and stunning views. There are also a selection of private pool villas.

Dining is a highlight here with fine French cuisine courtesy of three Michelin starred Chef Pierre Gagnaire at La Maison 1888, Asian and western fare at Citron and laid back beachfront food at Barefoot. An award winning spa offers further indulgence.

The surrounding Son Tra National Conservation Park is great for hiking, the bay can be explored aboard kayaks, and the the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Hoi An, My Son Sanctuary and Hue are all readily accessible from the resort.
