One of Vietnam's most important port cities, Da Nang is a vibrant and engaging locale offering something for golfers, nature lovers, urbanites, and history buffs alike. A true eco-city, Da Nang values its numerous attractive beaches and beautiful landscapes while remaining the fastest-urbanizing city in Vietnam. It is even the site of the new Miss Earth pageant, developed to further the cause of urban environmental activism and global tree-planting.

Considered by some the best golf course in all of Vietnam, Montgomery Links offers five-star, world-class fairways. With knowledgeable, English-speaking caddies and premier service, the challenging, Colin Montgomery-designed course ensures plenty of water hazards and bunkers, while its club house caters to a true, luxury-seeking clientele. The Da Nang Golf Club offers a very different experience—instead of lush, fairy-tale fairways, this Greg Norman-designed course includes 18 holes amid a rugged dune scape dotted with wild, seaside vegetation. Sited to take advantage of the breath taking Marble Mountains, East Sea, and Cham islands, the Da Nang Golf Club is also nearby great beaches.

For lovers of nature and history, My Son Sanctuary is a wonderful place to explore the ruins of Vietnam's long-lived kingdom of Champa, which existed from the second to the fifteenth century. Set within 700 lush acres of pristine, Vietnamese forest, this Da Nang hideaway was once a Hindu shrine and later, it is thought, a Chamba burial ground. Tour guides here will update you on centuries of Vietnam's embattled history, right up until the present day.

Da Nang is also home to the unforgettable Marble Mountain, riddled with caves and active Bhuddist shrines, where breath taking marble sculptures stand hidden in secret crevices. Exploring this intriguing region is an invigorating undertaking, so come prepared with a spirit of adventure. Then head over to the Cham museum of Da Nang, where Vietnam's incredibly rich, artistic history stands revealed. The Ba Na cable car is an ideal way to see the Da Nang region from above. As you ascend into the misty mountains, admire lush forests and perfect sandy beaches, from afar.

Vietnam's most famous beach, China Beach, is a broad and lovely expanse, enjoying the presence of numerous luxury resorts and spas that further enhance its endless sun and surf. Although China Beach is the number-one destination for holiday makers in Da Nang, lesser known beaches, such as Cua Dai and An Bahn, also offer great wind surfing and kite surfing. Da Nang's vibrant and diverse environment is a must-see for any Vietnam traveller. Whether you come in pursuit of golf, water sports, jungle adventure, or world-class cuisine, a holiday in Da Nang is always defined by peerless variety.
