1. Introduction to InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort

Location & Overview

The resort is located at Bai Bac, Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang, Vietnam (Coordinates: 16.1205°N, 108.30616°E). Nestled against the lush hills of the Son Tra Nature Reserve, it overlooks Bai Bac Bay with uninterrupted sea views.

On arrival, guests are welcomed at the Reception Hall on Heaven Level—a rare feature in Vietnam. Positioned high above the resort, it offers panoramic views of the bay and surrounding mountains.

Unique Architectural Design

Created by renowned architect Bill Bensley, the resort blends Vietnamese heritage with contemporary elegance. Traditional patterns, bold colors, and intricate details appear in every space.

Guests can also visit the Bill Bensley Outsider Gallery inside the resort—an exclusive art display showcasing the designer’s creative works.

2. Romantic Experiences Await You

Secluded Private Beach

Here, the beach belongs to you. A ribbon of soft white sand curves around the bay, shielded by forested hills. Gentle waves and crystal-clear waters create an intimate setting for hand-in-hand strolls, sunrise swims, or quiet afternoons under a canopy daybed.

Sunset Dining by the Sea

As daylight fades, head to Barefoot for a laid-back yet elegant beachfront dinner or to La Maison 1888, the Michelin-starred French dining experience. Both settings deliver exquisite flavors and an atmosphere that turns every meal into a celebration. Picture sharing fine wine and fresh seafood while the horizon glows in shades of orange and pink.

Couple Spa Treatments

Retreat to Mi Sol Spa, where bespoke treatments for two restore both body and spirit. Choose from aromatic herbal therapies, ocean-view massage rooms, and wellness rituals that connect you to the surrounding nature.

Nature Encounters

For couples who love the outdoors, join the red-shanked douc langur exploration led by an in-house zoologist. This guided experience lets you observe one of the world’s most striking primates in its natural habitat, right within the resort’s protected forest zone. You can also combine this with an excursion to Monkey Mountain Da Nang for a full day of wildlife and scenic discovery.

3. Exceptional Accommodation for Couples

Hidden Gems for Romantic Getaways

Nam Tram Cable Car Ride

The resort is built across four elevation levels: Heaven, Sky, Earth, and Sea. To connect them, a private cable car system called Nam Tram runs from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM daily.

Instead of walking or using a buggy, couples can glide through lush tropical greenery with the ocean stretching out below. It’s more than transportation—it’s a short, scenic journey that feels like an attraction in itself.

Afternoon Tea Fusion

From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM each day, guests with Club access can enjoy an inspired afternoon tea at the Club Lounge.

The menu blends Vietnamese traditions with French refinement and English classics. Expect delicate handcrafted pastries, fragrant teas, and a calm sea-view setting that invites you to slow down and savour each bite.

Artistic Restroom Concepts

Even the restrooms here are designed to surprise. Each restaurant has its own artistic theme, with décor that matches the dining style—whether it’s the elegant lines of La Maison 1888 or the relaxed charm of Barefoot.

These spaces have become unexpected photo spots for guests, proving that attention to detail extends to every corner of the resort.
