Historic Hoi An, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is one of the most charming cities in Vietnam, and Southeast Asia. It’s also a prime spot for unique, boutique hotels. Options range from homestay-style private rooms on the beach to newer retreats offering sigh-worthy views over the Thu Bon River – and many come with in-house spas and restaurants. Here’s our pick of the best hotels in Hoi An, now bookable with Culture Trip.

Amid the lush greenery of Hoi An’s Coconut Village (a destination for ecotourists) Green Boutique Villa is a quiet, peaceful hotel surrounded by nature. The elegant sun-drenched rooms have large windows facing the central pool or scanning over verdant rice fields.

Little Beach Boutique Hotel and Spa sits on Cua Dai beach – you’ll wake up to the enticing smell of the salty sea air. Cua Dai was badly affected by storms and erosion a few years back but has regained its original beauty with fine white sand and hundreds of coconut trees dotting the coastline. Needless to say, this location is best for beach bunnies, while the charm of Hoi An’s Old Town is only a short taxi ride away. The spacious rooms are bright with elegant decor and gorgeous balconies overlooking the ocean.

Hoi An Central Boutique Hotel and Spa
