Located just minutes from My Khe Beach, this area is packed with Western-style cafes, international restaurants, bars, and coworking spaces. While it can feel touristy and noisy at times, especially during high season, the convenience and vibrant community make it the go-to choice for most digital nomads.

A tranquil and scenic neighborhood at the north end of the beach strip, Son Tra offers a more local Vietnamese experience with stunning coastal views and access to the famous Son Tra Peninsula (Monkey Mountain).

The neighborhood is home to the famous Linh Ung Pagoda with the 67-meter tall Lady Buddha statue.

Da Nang's central business district and administrative heart, Hai Chau offers an authentic urban Vietnamese experience on the west side of the Han River. This area features the iconic Dragon Bridge, Han Market, Da Nang Cathedral, and a mix of traditional and modern influences. Accommodation is generally cheaper here, and you'll find yourself immersed in local culture. Great for those who prioritize cultural immersion over beach proximity, with easy access to the airport and train station.

A tranquil neighborhood in the southern part of Da Nang, known for its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the famous Marble Mountains.
