An Bang

Peace & Quiet • Cocktails & Coffees • Watersports & Yoga

5km from Hoi An Old Town, An Bang beach ticks all the boxes in terms of a picture-perfect location. Wide, sandy and unspoilt? Check. Turquoise, calm waters that are safe for swimming? Check. Backdrop of palm trees? Check? Enough beach bars, cafes and restaurants to energise you for a day of sun-lounging and watersports? You betcha. In fact, such is An Bang’s appeal that many travellers to Hoi An don’t leave it to explore the rest of the area (although that would be a shame; there’s plenty to do here).

Why visit An Bang beach?

Despite becoming a lot more popular, and less peaceful than it once was, An Bang is still incredibly beautiful. Its wide, white sands aren’t crammed with deckchairs, but there are plenty to go around – and are typically included when you buy a drink or some food. Its waters may include plenty of activities – paragliding, paddle boarding and windsurfing, to name a few – but walk for a few minutes towards Da Nang to the north, or Cua Dai beach to the south, and you’ll find pockets of complete calm.

An Bang offers a chance to truly slow down: and if you’re tired after your travels, this is one of the most scenic spots you’ll ever find to do so. So whether you fancy walking or running its 4km stretch of golden sand every day, swimming or snorkeling in the warm, clear sea or simply chilling out with a coconut, An Bang’ll give you that holiday feeling

After the sun sets, there’s a real buzz around the winding streets behind the beach. With some great local restaurants and Western favourites, too – plus plenty of bars, a music venue and a cocktail lounge to sample, you’ll be glad of the chance to snooze on the beach the next day!

Where to stay in An Bang

Like the rest of Hoi An, An Bang beach accommodation is of a high standard – and it won’t cost you all that much. Whether you choose a boutique hotel, a private villa or one of several homestay options with a pool and breakfast included, there’s plenty on offer to suit all kinds of travellers and their budgets.

At Wide Eyed Tours & Travel, we understand that a quaint, ramshackle beach escape may be the last thing you’re after. Maybe you want all the frills and mod cons, and to keep the sand firmly out of your room. We can find you a luxury hotel on An Bang beach that you’ll love. On the other hand, if you are looking for a private pool villa or beach house, we have an exclusive range of these we can recommend for a beach holiday you’ll never forget.

Our local travel team can help you with planning where to stay in An Bang, the activities you can do there and the best places to eat along the beach. Plus, if you need any tips along the way, feel free to give us a call.

To the beach!

If you’re visiting Hoi An, a day trip or an overnight stay in An Bang Beach is a must. Even if you choose to stay elsewhere, cycling through Hoi An’s rice fields towards An Bang is a wonderful experience in itself. And the beach is so beautiful, many day trippers from Da Nang come here, too.

And whether you choose to get up early for yoga, swimming or to witness locals doing their calisthenics, to hang around for sunset with a refreshing beer or cocktail, or to spend the entire day being a beach bum (hey, you are on holiday, after all!), bring your sunscreen, pack a good book and check out An Bang beach.
