Hoi an and danang , Vietnam
Designed by award-winning architects, the Furama Resort enjoys a stunning beachfront location on one of Vietnam's finest beaches, fringed by natural pines and coconut palms. The 198 guest rooms and suites occupy two four-storey wings overlooking the ocean on one side and a freshwater swimming lagoon and manicured tropical gardens on the other. The restaurants and lounges are open and airy with polished timber or natural stone floors that offset the cool natural fabrics and cane furnishings. Vietnamese artifacts and furniture enhance the colonial setting to create the resort's distinctive Asian character.
Regional climate differences mean that there is no best time; try September to December to avoid the humidity in the north, December to April to miss the rains in the south and December to March is perfect for trips to the Central highlands. Catch the Trung Thu Moon festival in September or October for traditional lion and dragon dances.
