I can understand why Lonely Planet has dubbed Hoi An as Vitenam’s most atmospheric and delightful little town.
This charming town is located in Central Vietnam and happens to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site (read our post here).
If you are not planning on making a stop here whilst exploring Vietnam, my question to you is, why the heck not??? Because in our opinion, this place should be high on your list of places to see!!!
Wondering which resorts from the multitude of Hoi An accommodation options in Hoi An to choose from?
Well, you see, this post is not just about falling head-over-heels in love with a historic little town that is filled with colors, charm, and rustic history.
This post is about falling even more in love with a pretty special resort that is situated here! Because here you will find one of the most luxurious and eclectic resorts in Vietnam, a true little gem.
The Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa offers a unique opportunity to seclude yourself in luxury and tranquility as you soak in the history and atmosphere that is found only in this special part of Vietnam!
A hotel that is perfect for either family accommodation in Hoi An or for a special getaway as a couple.
Accommodation in Hoi An Review
Below is our list of the best accommodation in Hoi An review for the Luxurious Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort and Spa.
The Ultra Luxurious Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa
I’m a bit reluctant to share my story of our stay with the Victoria Hoi An Hotel, as I would dearly like to keep this magical place to myself, and delight in the secret of what we found!
But I know my dear readers that you are all keen and eager to find out our recommendations of where to stay or where not to stay and all I can say is that if you are traveling to Vietnam, Victoria Beach Resort Hoi An is worth a splurge!
Victoria Resort Hoi An is worth your time!
And it is worth checking out!!
Beach Accommodation Victoria Hoi An
The details and designs of this resort have been very carefully styled, where the architecture reflects the personality of the resort, and the designs reflect the history and culture of Hoi An, styled to symbolize a traditional local fishing village.
The ‘’village houses’’ all have clay tiled roofs and in between them, you will find small little pathways to wander around on.
Alongside it is an abundance in color with gardens and lush green grounds. Fish in the multitude of ponds will welcome you, whilst the presence of palm trees will remind you that you are now in paradise.
I truly believe it is one of the best Vietnam beach resorts.

The Welcome
Arrival at this resort is truly an experience! As soon as you arrive, the entrance to this resort shouts of class, style, and luxury!
At the front of the resort, you will find an assortment of vintage transport vehicles, from adorable coaches to glamorous sidecars.
The architecture is a mix of Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, and of course Vietnamese influences.
Luxury Hotel Hoi An
Upon arrival, you find a concierge who will grab your bags for you, leaving you to wander up the steps to the immaculate lobby.
Here you will only find beautiful friendly smiling faces, hospitality here was simply top notch!!
Within minutes you will have a nice cool face towel to wipe away the Hoi An heat and a beautiful cool welcome drink to start your relaxing stay.
The lobby is beautiful and spacious! Go for a wander upstairs to find a fun games room, a massive TV for sports events together with its own bar.
Or why not wander the other way to find a peaceful oasis for those who love to lounge around and get lost in a book?
Beautiful Guest Rooms & Suites
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort and Spa feature a whopping 109 rooms! There are rooms for all sorts of different budgets.
From river view rooms to garden view ones, from deluxe to ocean front! All have their own little balcony!
This photo below was taken on the way to the river and garden front rooms!! I love lanterns!!
Our favorite room was the Junior Suite! We fell in love!!
It was the most luxurious room I have ever stayed in and the attention to detail was simply impeccable. The room ‘wowed’ us from the moment we opened the doors!
You can see a visual of our room in the video at the end of this post. I think it is clear on my face how excited I am and how much I loved the space that we were going to live in for the next few days!
If you are searching for a Hoi An luxury hotel option, search no further!
Upon entry, you will find your ‘home’ space as well as the gorgeous comfy, and cozy bed!
A sofa to relax on, a TV, a desk and then some extras! We had our very own coffee-making machine!
And next to our beds we each had a little clip-on reading light – did I mention the attention to detail at this resort in Hoi An??
In the next room, you can find the influence of Japan, in your very own little tea room. Gorgeous adorable teapot and cups begging to be used!!
We couldn’t resist, so we popped on the Japanese robes found in the cupboard and felt like royalty whilst enjoying a cup of delicious tea!
Next came my favorite part of our room, the indoor-outdoor ultra-deluxe shower!
Putting my hand up as an outdoor shower addict after being treated to the joys of this baby!!! You really feel reinvigorated and fresh after showering in the natural light, fresh breeze, and gorgeous greenery found in this space here! All I can say is, the shower at our home in Australia, just simply does not cut it anymore!!!
Hands up – who of you wants to have a shower in this space here???
Of course, the luxury doesn’t end there, and for those of you who love to soak away in a bath, you can find a glorious spacious sunken spa bath, complete with candles and all the accessories you could ever wish for!!
Think bath salts, bath scrub pads, delicious smelling soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, and yes there is even more!!!!
In your cupboard, you will find a safe, a fridge, some robes, some slippers, an umbrella, a beach bag, some Vietnamese-style hats ….. everything you could possibly need!
We enjoyed sitting on our beachfront patio, listening to the waves crash, sipping away on our welcome wine, and tasting some of the local snacks! Perfection in paradise, complete and utter bliss!!!
Top Beach Resort Vietnam
At night time, the staff will bring around a rose and two delicious chocolates, together with a scroll, where inside you can find a nighttime story!
On our last night, we also returned to our room to find two lanterns, as gifts to say thank you and farewell! The lanterns now reside by our bed, a beautiful reminder of our time in Hoi An!

A Variety of Luxurious Leisure Facilities
Find below just a few of our favorite leisure facilities ad the Victoria Hoi An Resort & Spa.
The Sensational Palm Tree Kissed Infinity Pool
A favorite of ours!
We spent many hours lounging around this pool. I kept staring, and taking photos …. and more photos, hoping to capture the beauty of this pool and its surroundings.
A memory I want to capture for a lifetime!
This pool!!! You simply have to be there, you need to feel what it feels like!
Lounging on these comfy sun loungers, staring at the pool, backed by gorgeous palm trees, and if that isn’t enough, the scene blends into the blue of the ocean with the light blue haze of the distant islands beyond!
Now imagine having waiters, wondering about, serving your every need, bringing you cocktails, snacks, or whatever else your heart desires!
Hoi An luxury accommodation at its best!!
Can you understand why once we planted ourselves here, we couldn’t move?
Every time of day at this pool has a magic of its own!
The bright colors jumping out in the middle of the day …. the sun peeking through and filling the scene with soft light in the late afternoon and at sunset?
At sunset you can find the most glamorous display of colors behind these palm trees, reminding you that you are now in paradise!!
It will take your breath away!!!
The pool is perfection, as simple as that! The only thing that we could possibly mention otherwise is that due to the incredibly hot weather we had whilst in Hoi An, the water in the pool got pretty warm.
But once again, the staff at the resort comes to the rescue, always taking pride in making your stay a delight. So at 1 pm, watch as trolleys with ice blocks get pulled out!
I think I felt a bit like a polar bear, playing in the blue of the water with a big cold chunk of ice! It was perfect!!

The Private Beach Area
Of course, a resort as gorgeous as this will have a little private piece of beach paradise set aside for its residents. And so here, next to this Hoi An beach hotel, you will find a luxurious picture of daybeds and sun loungers, spread out over the white sand of Cua Dai Beach.
As most people were enjoying the pool area, I really felt like this was my own private little escape on my private little beach, with no one to bother me, only the sun, the waves, and some peace!
One of the Top Beach Hotels Hoi An
If you enjoy being a bit more active than me, you can also find here a variety of activities to keep you busy on the water.
Water sports include:
- Hobie Cat 16 – sailing lessons,

Restaurants & Bars
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa has one main restaurant together with three bars!
The bar that we used most often was Faifo Bar, which is the pool bar!
The atmosphere around this bar was always buzzing with happy chatter!
And we might have enjoyed one too many cocktails from this bar next to the pool by our sun loungers!
Together with this bar, there is also a bar on the second level of the lobby for those who love to play a game of pool or billiards, and I’m sure this one is a big hit when the sports games are on the large sports TV.
All the bars and restaurants are beautifully designed!! This photo is taken in the outdoor area of the restaurant! Isn’t it pretty!!!
Spa Accommodation Victoria Hoi An Vietnam
The restaurant at the resort is called L’Annam Restaurant. Included in your package is a free buffet breakfast. And was it one awesome buffet breakfast!!
The choices were endless! And needless to say that both me and Andrzej overindulged at both of our breakfasts in order to sample the multitude of breakfast delights on offer!!
We also loved dinner at night time around the pool area.
The whole area is illuminated by the twinkling of soft lights, colors streaming onto the still blue pool from the lanterns hanging about!
The atmosphere was totally romantic and enjoyable!
From here you can also enjoy some of the nighttime shows on offer.
We loved watching the girls put on a dancing performance (you can see a short snippet of them in our video below).

Excursions & Activities
Victoria Hotels pride themselves on focusing on not only making your stay inside of the resort walls memorable but also focusing on what is outside of the resort walls.
We go to Vietnam, to experience Vietnam after all.
Staying in a luxurious resort is glamorous and all, but we still want to experience what Hoi An has to offer as well.
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa recognizes the curiosity in their visitors and offers more than just a small variety of excursions and activities to keep your wanderlust at bay!
Free Shuttle Busses to Hoi An Ancient Town
I know a lot of people will be encouraged to stay closer to Hoi An Ancient Town, but in all honesty, we stayed closer for one night, the heat was insane, there was no breeze and we just needed to escape!
We ran away to the ocean side where we found the relief of a sweet cool breeze!
When you can stay at a resort that has a breeze, the ocean, the pool, all in the aid to cool you down plus a FREE shuttle bus that is only 12 min away from Ancient Town, I don’t understand why anyone would stay anywhere else!!
The free Victoria Hoi An shuttle buses run on a very regular schedule to Hoi An, allowing you to be there in the morning or afternoon or even to go and catch the lit lanterns at night.
They are convenient and relaxing and the drivers are always smiling and happy to have a chat!
Side-Car Excursions
One of the things we were really looking forward to was going on a side-car excursion with these funky Victoria Hoi An motorbikes!!
You can choose how long you want to use them, we chose an hour option in order to go and explore the countryside of Hoi An.
Our trip took us on some incredible palm tree ‘walled’ dirt roads.
We went driving through some fishing villages, went past the vegetable villages, and went all the way through Hoi An town to the pottery village on the other side.
The ride was exhilarating, interesting, and purely based on an insane amount of fun! The sound of the roar of the bikes with the glide around the corners!
The kids run out to ‘high five’ you as you pass by their homes in their villages! All memories still make me smile from ear to ear.
Of course, Victoria Hoi An does nothing half-notch, so expect some awesome cold face washers and some icy cold water at your ‘breaks’.
What an incredible experience – and one you simply HAVE TO DO if you stay here!!!
They have more options for excursions with these bikes, so ask them what your choices are when you stay there!
They have a multitude of other excursions and activities on offer as well, some of which include:
- Special traditional dance shows: Wednesday and Saturday nights
- Volleyball, badminton, and kite flying activities are on offer
- Complimentary mountain bikes for exploring the area
- Vietnamese cooking class
- Early morning excursion to Hoi An fishing market
- Boat trips into Hoi An
- Together with many many more excursions to places such as the Marble Mountains, My Son Holy lands, and more!
What We Love About Victoria Hoi An Resort
- Victoria Hoi An Resort is the ultimate Hoi An accommodation option for luxury and relaxation.
- Because of the pool – ah yes THE POOL!! Never have I seen a more beautifully situated pool than this one!! One of the reasons which define why this is one of the best hotels in Hoi An!!
- The staff are all incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make your stay memorable!
- You can be pampered and get treated like royalty in their in-house SPA.
- If you have kids, you can book them into the kids club and enjoy some cocktails by the pool in peace!
- You can find a gateway to fun water activities right at the oceanic front door!
- Because their focus on perfection through detail is just impeccable!
- Because this is the very first resort I have ever stayed in that I can simply not think of a single negative thing to say, our stay was truly perfect!!! In our opinion, this is the best among the choices of Hoi An Resorts.

We hope you found our Hoi An Beach Resort reviews of this Hoi An Victoria Hotel helpful xx
We’re a couple that doesn’t particularly like kids running around at the hotels we stay at (that sounds terrible but we usually go for adult-only places), and I’ve read a couple of reviews that said that there were many families staying here. What was your experience with this? Thanks!
Hey Jessica, that is fair enough! Even as a family I’m not keen on resorts where kids are squealing all the time. On our stay there, there really wasn’t many families around, but it might be a different experience if you are travelling during school holidays? Our little room we had was next to the pool but it was so peaceful! I’m sure you would love it there! 🙂 I would return if I could!
Glad to read this article. Your review of Victoria is very detailed and thanks to this, I wanna give up my job and go ahead to Victoria for relaxation.
And the relaxation you will have!! We absolutely loved staying at the Victoria Hoi An!! LOVE VIETNAM and we will definitely be back for more!!!!! Glad you like the post!
