Henrik Hanevold Henrik Hanevold Jan 6, 2023

Location

Set along the pristine shoreline of Bac My An Beach, Pullman Danang Beach Resort offers an immersive luxury escape in Central Vietnam. Perfectly situated just 3 km from the heart of Danang and a short 15-minute drive from Danang International Airport, this beachfront haven is an ideal base for discerning travelers seeking relaxation, adventure, and cultural discovery. Whether you're swimming in the crystal-clear East Sea, teeing off at championship golf courses, exploring nearby UNESCO World Heritage sites, or savoring the region’s renowned cuisine, the Pullman delivers an experience that’s both exclusive and authentically Vietnamese. 

The resort features 186 elegantly appointed rooms and cottages, each with either panoramic beach vistas or lush tropical garden views. Culinary options abound: Epice serves up sophisticated Vietnamese and international fare, while the Azure Beach Lounge specializes in the freshest locally caught seafood, expertly prepared on signature hot stones. For sunset cocktails, the chic Infinity Bar is the social heart of the property.

Recreation is central to the Pullman experience. Guests can enjoy an array of watersports—jet skiing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking—right by the Olympic-length pool. The Nắng Spa offers rejuvenating therapies, and the Fit Lounge is equipped with the latest gym technology and professional trainers to support every fitness goal. 

Pullman Danang Beach Resort is also a premier venue for celebrations, from dream weddings in its Grand Ballroom to intimate ceremonies on its private stretch of sandy beach.

Accommodation

Vietnam’s third-largest metropolis, Danang, is a vibrant city resting on the Han River, ideally positioned between the cultural hubs of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. This dynamic destination is celebrated not only for its rich history, including French colonial influences, but also for its modern energy and easy access to heritage sites.

Pullman Danang Beach Resort enjoys a privileged location for exploring Central Vietnam’s treasures. History enthusiasts can easily visit the Imperial City of Hue (approximately two hours north) and the enchanting lantern-lit streets of Hoi An (just 40 minutes to the south). Hue offers a tapestry of imperial palaces, ancient pagodas, and bustling local markets, while Hoi An captivates with riverside charm, artisanal goods, and celebrated street food. Early evening in Hoi An is magical, as the lanterns illuminate the old town and the banks of the Thu Bon River come alive. 

For those seeking sun and sand, nearby An Bang Beach is a tranquil spot for relaxation or water activities, and boat tours to the Cham Islands offer snorkeling, fishing villages, and historic Buddhist temples. Adventurers can climb the Marble Mountains, a cluster of spiritual limestone and marble hills adorned with caves and shrines, or unwind on My Khe Beach, regularly ranked among Asia’s most stunning beaches for its powdery sands and turquoise waters. 

The resort’s concierge team curates personalized excursions to these and other iconic sites, ensuring seamless private transport and expert local guides. For families, unique attractions such as Upside Down World provide a playful and modern diversion for children and adults alike.

Babysitting services are also available for private care.

Beach lovers will appreciate Song Water Sport, offering safe and supervised water activities including jet skiing, paddleboarding, surfing, and kayaking.

Restaurants & Bars

The Pullman Danang Beach Resort exudes a modern yet authentic Vietnamese aesthetic, balancing contemporary architecture with thoughtful local details. Guests are greeted in a grand, airy lobby with signature ginger welcome drinks. The high ceilings, natural wood accents, and oversized lanterns create a warm and inviting first impression, complemented by bold Vietnamese artwork and sculptural seating crafted from local materials.

Large picture windows in the lobby frame panoramic views of the gardens, pool, and ocean beyond, drawing the eye to the resort’s central water features. Manicured gardens are interlaced with long jade-colored reflecting pools, guiding guests from the lobby to the infinity pool and down to the beach—a design that invites both relaxation and Instagram-worthy moments.

Renowned Vietnamese artist Himiko Nguyen’s whimsical dragonfly sculptures are a recurring motif, seen gracefully suspended above water features throughout the property, including the lobby, central garden, and water lily pond by the cottages.

As night falls, the illuminated infinity pool becomes the resort’s focal point, surrounded by terracotta-roofed, low-rise buildings. The pool’s fiber optic lighting glimmers like a constellation, creating a magical after-dark ambiance.

Azure’s signature surf-and-turf burger—featuring lobster and wagyu beef—delights gourmands, while the playful Vietnamese pho burger is a local twist. For dessert, the lounge offers Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream in creative flavors like Vietnamese coffee, durian, and triple coconut, prepared with dramatic flair.
