Da Nang to Anantara Hoi An: Private Car Transfer

Anantara Hoi An Resort is unlike any other 5-star hotel in this region — because it sits right in the heart of the ancient town, on the Thu Bon River bank, where golden lantern light reflects on the water each evening. French colonial architecture blended with traditional Hoi An atmosphere creates a space that cannot be mistaken for anywhere else.

But that very location “in the heart of the ancient town” presents a special challenge for transportation: Hoi An’s ancient town restricts motor vehicles during many hours. Unfamiliar drivers may park illegally, forcing guests to drag suitcases on foot for long distances — something no one wants after a long flight.

Faifo Express understands this well. Our drivers are familiar with every legal parking spot within Hoi An’s ancient town radius and deliver guests directly to Anantara’s main gate without any complications.

Resort Location & Distance from Da Nang

Anantara Hoi An Resort is located at 01 Pham Hong Thai, Minh An Ward, Hoi An — right in the heart of the ancient town, on the Thu Bon River bank. This is both an advantage (steps to the ancient town) and a transportation challenge (vehicle-restricted area).

Special Note: Vehicles cannot park freely in front of the resort during restricted hours (6am–9pm in certain ancient town sections). Faifo Express drivers know the official entrance route permitted for guest transport vehicles — you don’t need to worry about this.

Anantara Entrance Details — Notes Only Familiar Drivers Know

Anantara Hoi An is located at 01 Pham Hong Thai, Minh An Ward — sounds easy to find, but the road into this area has many confusing points for unfamiliar drivers. You might park illegally and have to walk far with luggage.

Vehicle restriction regulations in the ancient town

Hoi An’s ancient town — especially the central area around Cau Bridge, Tran Phu, Nguyen Thai Hoc streets — prohibits cars from 8am–9pm on many days (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays may have all-day bans). Many first-time drivers to Hoi An get stopped at checkpoints and forced to turn back.

With Faifo Express, drivers know exactly which hours allow entry, which routes bypass the area while still reaching the resort gate, and which parking spots are licensed for guest transport vehicles at Anantara.

Entering the resort via the river gate

A little-known detail: Anantara Hoi An has an entrance from the Thu Bon River side — a secondary gate but sometimes easier to access when the ancient town is crowded. Faifo Express drivers know both entrances and choose the best route depending on the time of day.

GPS often gives wrong directions — here’s why

Google Maps sometimes directs to Bach Dang Street along the river — a pedestrian-only street with no motor vehicles allowed. From there, guests must drag suitcases 300–400m more to reach the resort gate. With Faifo Express, drivers use a dedicated access route via Phan Chau Trinh or Hoang Dieu Street, delivering the car to the closest permitted parking spot to the main gate.

Ideal arrival times to avoid congestion

• Early morning (before 8am): Ancient town not yet crowded, easiest vehicle entry
• Midday (12pm–2pm): Fewer guests, smooth check-in
• Evening (after 9pm): Some restrictions lifted, but streets busier with tourists strolling

If your flight lands during peak hours (4pm–7pm), Faifo Express drivers will automatically adjust the route to avoid congestion, ensuring you reach the resort in reasonable time.

Hoi An Experience from Anantara’s Perspective

The biggest advantage of staying at Anantara is you’re right in Hoi An’s center — everything is within reach. However, for more diverse experiences, Faifo Express can take you to nearby spots not easily accessible on foot.

Kayaking on Thu Bon River

Thu Bon River runs right in front of the resort — from Anantara, you can book an early morning kayak tour (5:30am–7:30am) to experience riverside life before the ancient town wakes up. Tour prices around 350,000–500,000 VND/person, booked through the resort or Hoi An tour companies.

Hoi An cooking class at the resort

Anantara hosts morning cooking classes with traditional Hoi An menu: Cao Lau, Mi Quang, Banh Mi. Classes start at 9am, lasting 2–3 hours. Very popular with international guests — book through reception at least 1 day ahead.

Cycling through the ancient town

The resort provides free bicycles for guests — from here you can cycle through Tran Phu, Nguyen Thai Hoc streets, Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, Cau Bridge in just minutes. Early morning (before 8am) is ideal when streets are quiet.
