Your 5-star Gateway to “World Heritage Road” in central Vietnam and four UNESCO-listed World Heritage sites

The luxurious Furama Resort Danang is a true icon of Vietnam tourism. This 5-star haven on world-famous China Beach is celebrated as Vietnam’s most prestigious resort – counting royalty, presidents, movie stars and international business leaders among its celebrity guests.

A multi-award winner for its unfaltering commitment to world-class service and facilities, the Furama is not only consistently voted Vietnam’s No 1 resort, leading international polls also rank it among the very best resorts in Asia.

But the Furama is much more than an idyllic tropical retreat, it is also a premier base for exploring one of Asia’s most exciting new destinations – in the early days of being “discovered” by international tourism.

Just a short drive from Danang lay four UNESCO-listed World Heritage Sites: the former imperial city of Hue (2 hours), the ancient ‘Silk Road’ trading port of Hoi An (30 minutes away), the spiritual centre of the Champa civilization, My Son (90 minutes) and the mystical Phong Nha Caves in Quang Binh province (7 hours), considered by some an access to the inner earth!

Da Nang has its own International Airport with daily domestic flights to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh city, Buon Me Thuot, Pleiku, Nha Trang and Quy Nhon. There are international direct flights from Bangkok and Singapore with plans for future flights from Macau, Tokyo and Korea. Furama Resort Da Nang is just 15 minutes drive from Da Nang International Airport.

Furama Danang Resort & Spa has become the first five-star beach resort in Vietnam to provide in-room high speed internet access since August 25, 2006. The installment was just before the 3rd APEC Senior Official Meeting (APEC SOM 3) organized in Danang and Furama was selected as the host for the meeting. Before that, Furama Danang provide free wireless internet to its all public areas including lounges, restaurants, bars, ballrooms and meeting rooms.

Furama Resort & Spa has created a lasting impression for both local and international visitors. This is not only due to the government’s confidence in its attentive care for dignitaries such as Jiang Zemin – People's Republic of China's former Secretary General, Thailand's former Prime Minister Thaksin, Queen Sophia of Spain, Prince Henrik of Denmark, but it is also because the Furama is a place that has been selected to host significant events at both the national and international level.

Our “Diving Base” is meanwhile pioneering international-standard scuba diving in Vietnam – as the resort also develops as a renowned venue for events, conference and incentive travel.
