Hoi An is a UNESCO Heritage Site and the cultural jewel of central Vietnam is any easy 40-minute drive from the resort. It's a beautiful town for strolling and dining, with a gorgeous ancient town cut through with canals. The Chinese, Japanese, French, Dutch and Portuguese all played a role in Hoi An's history, giving it a unique, picturesque flavour. Hoi An is surrounded by verdant rice fields perfect for cycling, and is the site of some of Vietnam's best beaches.
