Key Notes
- Large rooftop infinity pool
- Spacious rooms
- Food and beverage options
- Free airport shuttle on request
- Suites & apartment rooms too

Rosamia Da Nang Hotel
Key Notes
- Large infinity rooftop pool
- Indoor pool, steam room & sauna
- Top class gym
- 2-roomed family suites
- Kids club & game room
There aren’t a lot of all-round fantastic 5-star properties on the Danang foreshore excluding resorts. The Rosamia is probably about the best you can get along the main My Khe Beach front. It’s next to the newer Haian Beach Hotel.
The rooftop infinity pool and sky bar are two of its most appreciated features. The gym is also more than one would expect and has PT trainers, fitness and yoga classes. The indoor pool nearby, however, lacks heating but there’s a sauna and steam room attached.
The 2-roomed suites are really nice and they have additional childcare services. For a 5-star Danang hotel, the service and staff are excellent. However, the construction could have better sound-proofing and the restaurant, while good, is not exactly a 5-star experience. All considering, it is a little pricey.
Sel de Mer Hotel and Suites
Key Notes
- Excellent friendly service
- Newly completed in 2020
- In-room breakfast
- Suite rooms with afternoon tea
- Salt sauna and steam bath no charge
Sel de Mer is one of the most exclusive and more recent 5-star hotel developments along Danang beach. Two things most appreciated are its highly professional staff and spacious modern rooms. Suite rooms can include up to three separate bedrooms, and if you book a suite the afternoon tea is included.
The location is in the quieter mid-section of Pham Van Dong Beach. The hotel restaurant is closed until December 2021 and dining options nearby are few which means a taxi ride down the beach or into town.
Seashore Hotel and Apartments
Key Notes
- Quiet north beach location
- Spacious rooms and studios
- Free bicycles
- Motorbike rental
Northern Pham Dong Beach of the Danang foreshore is more for getting away from the bustle. For the price and nice rooms, Seashore Hotel is not a bad deal. It’s not so far from the Son Tra Peninsula overlooking a picturesque fishing bay.
The free bikes are great for exploring the quieter inner neighborhoods, and also up to the Lady Buddha if you have the legs. The beachfront has facilities for rent. As of March 2021, the rooftop pool and bar area is up for renovation, and the restaurant cannot always be relied upon to be open.
The breakfast is okay, but caters more to Asian tastes. There are the big seafood restaurants nearby, but if you go down the street, then up two blocks and turn right, Chickpea Eatery is a great little vegetarian restaurant. Other than that, they have motorbikes for rent.

The condotel has all 5-star conveniences, and the staff is very professional. The pool though is not particularly big, and the wide gym is unfortunately carpeted. The hotel is at a busy intersection, so it’s best if you get a room facing the riverside to avoid the sounds of honking cars and trucks.
