1. Where is South Hoi An? Distance and Travel Time

South Hoi An is NOT located within Hoi An City!

In fact, the Vinpearl South Hoi An complex and Hoiana are located in Thang Binh District and Duy Xuyen District, Quang Nam Province. They are situated south of the Thu Bon River, far from the bustling Hoi An Ancient Town area.

Actual distances:

• From Da Nang Airport to South Hoi An: Approximately 42 - 45 km (one and a half times the distance from Da Nang to Hoi An Ancient Town).
• From Hoi An Ancient Town to South Hoi An: Approximately 15 - 18 km.

Travel time:

• Driving continuously from Da Nang Airport to the Vinpearl/Hoiana gates will take approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes depending on traffic conditions at congestion points within the city.

2. Which Route is Most Scenic to Vinpearl & Hoiana?

There are 2 main routes from Da Nang Airport to South Hoi An:

1. Coastal Route (Recommended): Airport -> Nguyen Van Linh -> Dragon Bridge -> Vo Nguyen Giap Road -> Lac Long Quan -> Cua Dai Bridge -> Thanh Nien Road -> Hoiana / Vinpearl South Hoi An.

   • Advantages: Wide, spacious road with beautiful scenery on both sides featuring numerous 5-star resorts and stunning blue sea. This route is highly scenic and offers a very smooth driving experience.

2. National Highway 1A: Airport -> National Highway 1A -> Nam Phuoc Junction -> Heading towards South Hoi An Beach.

   • Disadvantages: Narrow road, many container trucks, dust and less scenic views compared to the coastal route. Only choose this route if the coastal road is closed or under maintenance.

3. What Transportation Should You Choose for South Hoi An?

A 45km distance is a long journey. Don’t turn a 1-hour drive into a physical ordeal by choosing the wrong transportation method.

• Traditional Taxi: For 45km, meter fares will range around 912.000đ (≈$0) - 850,000 VND. This price is quite high and you still risk getting an uncomfortable vehicle.
• Grab/Ride-hailing Apps: Very difficult to book. A 45km journey to an isolated resort means the driver would have to drive without returning to Da Nang. Therefore, 95% of drivers will call demanding you pay an additional 30% - 50% surcharge, or request to cancel the trip.
• Hotel Shuttle Bus: Vinpearl and Hoiana offer shuttle bus services. However, buses only operate at fixed times and pick up from specific locations in Da Nang/Hoi An, making them completely inconvenient if your flight arrives outside these time windows or if you have bulky luggage.

Perfect Solution: Book a private car with full service from Faifo Express. Our car will be waiting when you land, no additional waiting time, and the fare is up to 40% cheaper than traditional taxis.

5. Tips for Visiting Hoi An Ancient Town on the Way

Since the route from the Airport to South Hoi An must pass through Hoi An Ancient Town area (if taking the coastal route), you can completely optimize your itinerary to explore Hoi An without spending extra on car rental the next day.

Suggested combined itinerary:

• Morning: Pick up from Da Nang Airport, drive to Hoi An Ancient Town.
• Midday - Afternoon: Leave your luggage in the car, explore the ancient town, enjoy Chicken Rice, drink coffee, visit the Japanese Bridge. (Driver will wait 3 - 4 hours).
• Late Afternoon (16:00): Get back in the car and complete the remaining journey to check in at Vinpearl South Hoi An.

You only need to choose the “Airport Pickup to South Hoi An + Wait for Ancient Town Tour” package, with minimal additional cost (around 120.000đ (≈$5) - 180.000đ (≈$7) for driver waiting fees) but save several hundred thousand dong on hiring a separate car from South Hoi An back to the Ancient Town the next day.
