Ahoy Hoi An Boutique Resort & Spa is a 79-room boutique property on Cua Dai Street, set between Hoi An’s old town and the sea. Every room and suite opens onto its own private balcony, and the layout wraps two swimming pools in dense garden planting, so the place reads far greener than its size suggests. There is a full-service spa, a fitness centre and a sun terrace, plus a poolside bar, a beach bar and a lounge. Breakfast is a buffet served from 6:30 to 10:00 each morning, and children under five eat free.

The resort runs a free shuttle to its private beach and into town, and keeps bicycles for guests who would rather ride. Hoi An Market and the Japanese Covered Bridge are about five minutes away by car, and Cua Dai Beach is minutes in the other direction with An Bang Beach further along the sand. The kitchen runs Vietnamese cooking classes, and guided cycling tours head out through the rice fields and villages. Da Nang International Airport is roughly 28 km away, about a 40 minute drive, and the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills sits about 40 km west.
