Santorin HoiAn Villa

An eighteen-room villa property on Nguyen Duy Hieu in Cam Chau, Santorin HoiAn Villa sits across the river from Hoi An's ancient town, whose lantern-lit streets and covered Japanese bridge are a ten-minute walk or short bicycle ride away — a quiet base for travellers wanting easy access to the old quarter without its evening crowds.

The property centers on an open-air pool framed by whitewashed, blue-shuttered facades echoing the Cyclades, an unusual design note for this part of the Vietnamese coast. An Bang Beach lies roughly ten minutes away by the free shuttle bikes provided at reception.
