An Thuong, Da Nang: Area Guide and Where to Stay
By Ngo Thu Thuy (Jenny), founder of Anamoi Villa · Updated
An Thuong is a small, walkable neighbourhood right behind My Khe beach in Da Nang. Its lanes are packed with cafés, restaurants, spas and shops that cater to foreign visitors, which makes it one of the easiest places in the city to arrive, settle in and spend your days between the beach and the dinner table.
The short answer
Stay in An Thuong if you want the beach every day and plenty of international food on foot. My Khe beach is a 4–5 minute ride or about 15 minutes’ walk away, Da Nang airport about 10 minutes by car, and Hoi An Ancient Town about 45 minutes. If you would rather spend your evenings among the lanterns of an old town, stay in Hoi An instead.
What An Thuong is like
An Thuong is a grid of short streets and lanes between the beach road and the city. Around our villa, cafés, restaurants, spas and small shops are all within 300 metres, and many of them cater to foreign guests, side by side with local eateries serving Vietnamese food.
It is lively rather than quiet. Evenings are busy with people eating out, so it suits groups who like to have options on their doorstep. It also works well for long stays and remote work, because everything you need day to day is close by.
My Khe beach
My Khe is Da Nang’s long, sandy city beach, and An Thuong sits just behind it. From our villa it is a 4–5 minute ride or about a 15-minute walk. Mornings are the nicest time to swim, before the sun gets strong.
The sea is usually calmer in the drier months. In the rainy season, roughly October to December, waves can be rough, so swim where the lifeguards and flags show it is safe.
Getting around from An Thuong
| From An Thuong to | Time | How |
|---|---|---|
| My Khe beach | 4–5 minutes by car, about 15 minutes on foot | Walk or Grab |
| Hoi An Ancient Town | About 45 minutes | Car |
| Da Nang International Airport | About 10 minutes | Car; free pickup for bookings of 3+ nights until 31 January 2027 |
Grab, the ride-hailing app, works for both cars and motorbikes in Da Nang and is the easiest way to get around. For a group day trip to Hoi An, a car with a driver for the day keeps everyone together.
