Is the Pullman Danang Beach Resort, the best on Bac My An Beach?
Pullman Danang Beach Resort Review: Best Resorts in Vietnam. I need to state early, like right here at the start of this review of the Pullman Da Nang, that it was late November. It was off-season. Yes, folks, off-season. It was cool, rainy, windy, BUT: we still absolutely loved it here in a chilly Vietnam. The resort makes it so special come rain or shine or wind and rain, haha. It was simply a beautiful place, and we relished every single minute of our stay.

Pullman Danang Beach Resort Review: Best Resorts in Vietnam. I tell you, this place is up there with some of the best hotels and best resorts the family and I have ever experienced. Pullman Danang Beach Resort is the answer to your dreams if you want somewhere on the beach, near the city centre, family-oriented, incredible rooms, great food and the most wonderful staff. Located along the pristine shores of Bac My An Beach, this resort has mastered the art of giving its guests a blissful escape without over-complicating things.
Whether you’re here to laze by the pool, done on some of their incredible food, or simply walk along the beach and pretend you’re in a film montage, Pullman Danang delivers with charm and ease. Let me walk you through what makes this resort a must-visit in our Pullman Danang Beach Resort Review. We hope you like it. ENJOY!!!

Checking In at Pullman Danang Beach Resort: Where Relaxation Begins
The experience starts when you arrive, with that super-grand entrance and happy smiley staff about to greet you as you step from your taxi. Then there’s the resort’s open-air lobby, which is a blend of modern architecture and Vietnamese vibes, with sea breezes wafting in through the open-air bar to greet you. A refreshing welcome drink is handed over—something citrusy and fizzy, which pairs perfectly with the balmy weather.
The check-in process is as smooth as the sand outside on the beach, with staff who seem genuinely delighted to have you there with them. Within minutes, we were whisked off to our rooms, for the big reveal. And that was also a WOW.
First Impressions of Pullman Danang Beach Resort: A Warm Welcome
Walking into Pullman Danang Beach Resort feels like stepping into luxury. The open-air lobby is a breath of fresh air, quite literally. You’re greeted with a refreshing welcome drink (a mocktail with just the right zing) and staff so attentive they make you feel like you’re the only guest in the resort.
The design strikes a balance between contemporary chic and beachside relaxation, you just feel good being there. It’s modern without being stuffy, with plenty of natural light and an airy feel that makes you want to exhale all your stress: exactly what we all did. Plus, the ocean view from the lobby is enough to make even the grumpiest traveller crack a smile: I mean come on, have a looksie…
Why Pullman Danang Stands Out...
What sets Pullman Danang apart is its ability to cater to all types of travellers. Couples will love the romantic dining options and private villas. Families will appreciate the kid-friendly amenities and activities + the pool and beach of course. And solo travellers will find plenty of spaces to unwind and recharge, or just walk to the city.
It really is a location, location, location winner. Right on the beach, near to the city and attractions, surrounded by incredible dining experiences, and a monster amount of touristy things to do as well, from Lady Buddha to Marble Mountains and much more. Hey, Hoi An is only 40 minutes down the road.
The resort’s attention to detail, from the personalised service to the thoughtful touches in each room, makes every guest feel special. It’s the little things—like the refreshing towel offered upon check-in or the complimentary fruit and beautiful bunch of roses on the table when you walk in—that leave a lasting impression.
Seriously check the roses. Wifey thought I had been all romantic and arranged them to be there: nice one Pullman, you got me massive Brownie Points.
Pullman Danang Beach Resort Review: Rooms That Feel Like a Second Home (If Your Home Were a Beachside Suite...)
I caveat now that the photos were taken within the first five minutes of walking into the rooms, but the kids had already bounced on everything by that time. They were pristine when I walked in initially.
The rooms at Pullman Danang are spacious, stylish, and designed with comfort in mind. Think plush bedding, sleek furniture, and bathrooms so elegant you’ll be tempted to take more selfies than strictly necessary. And let’s not forget the balconies. Whether your room overlooks the pool, the gardens, or the ocean, you’ll find yourself spending a good chunk of time here, drink in hand, soaking up the views.
For those looking to splurge, the villas snd suites are the epitome of beachside luxury. Private pools, direct beach access, and enough space to make you feel like you’ve booked your own little resort within a resort. Even the standard rooms feel anything but standard, thanks to thoughtful details like fresh flowers, high-quality toiletries, and a welcome note that somehow feels genuinely heartfelt.
Let’s talk about the rooms because, honestly, they’re a holiday in themselves. Each room at Pullman Danang feels like it was designed by someone who truly understands the art of comfort. Think cloud-like beds, sleek furniture, and an abundance of natural light that makes the space feel airy and fresh.
Balconies come as standard, and whether yours overlooks the lush gardens, the inviting pool, or the turquoise sea, you’ll find yourself lingering there with a cup of tea—or something stronger. Our suite was huuuuuge, including a balcony with an eight-person dining table: holy moly!!!
Bathrooms are equally luxurious, with rain showers and soaking tubs that seem to whisper, “Take your time.” We lost out Jude Jude in this thing for about six hours. Even Wifey donned her swimming costume and went in for a ‘dip’.
For those ready to splurge, the resort’s villas are a level up entirely. Private pools, direct beach access, and enough space to throw a small party if you feel like it. But even if you’re in a standard room, you won’t feel short-changed—every detail has been carefully considered to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Check out the girls loving their new second home… Oh yeah, the Wifi is SOLID at the Pullman Danang…
Pullman Danang Beach Resort Reviews: Food Worth Writing Home About
Dining at Pullman Danang Vietnam is a treat for your mouth: we did breakfast, lunch and dinner, and yeah it’s really really good. The resort’s main restaurant, Epice, offers a mix of international dishes and Vietnamese classics that are as vibrant as they are delicious.
Breakfast here is an event in itself, with a buffet that features everything from fresh tropical fruits to crispy bacon and fluffy pancakes, pho, and Bahn Mi. The made-to-order pho station was a personal favourite—because what better way to start your day than with a steaming bowl of noodle soup?
My other favourite thing EVER (I even made some for other guests) was the Bloody Mary station… Yes, folks, they had it: Vodka, Worcestershire Sauce, Tomato Juice, a glass with Celery Stick, Tabasco Sauce, Salt and Pepper, and Lemon Wedges. This station was heaven-sent: set up to go for the day – HELL YEAH!!!
For a more casual vibe, Azure Beach Lounge is called out as the place to be. During high season this is a beachfront bar and restaurant serving up refreshing cocktails and light bites that are perfect for that lazy afternoon in the pool or on the beach. Their seafood platter is renowned as being a standout, featuring fresh prawns, crab, and squid served with tangy dipping sauces. Pair that with a cold beer, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate beachside meal.
Sadly, Azure Beach Lounge was a little ‘sad’ during the off-season. No more needs to be said than that. We went once, but much preferred sitting outdoors at Epice: such delish food, nice views, sea breezy, and just the best serving staff!!!
Pullman Danang Beach Resort Reviews: The Pool, A Dip In Paradise
I have to ideate here and suggest that the infinity pool at Pullman Danang is the kind of place you could spend all day without realising it. It is indeed surrounded by lush greenery and overlooks the monstrous beach, it’s both tranquil and photogenic.
The poolside bar (you have to get out of the pool to get a beverage: first world problems, right) will add to the experience, and I am certain will be serving drinks that are as Instagrammable as they are tasty…
The kids’ pool, meanwhile, ensures that families have their own little haven. It’s shallow, safe, and conveniently located near the main pool so parents can keep an eye on the little ones while still enjoying their cocktails. It even has this barrier around it so the the wee ones can’t stumble into deeper water.
Pullman Resort Danang: Activities For Every Mood
If lounging by the pool isn’t enough to keep you entertained, Pullman Danang has a range of activities to keep things interesting. The beach is just steps away and will offer everything from paddleboarding to beach volleyball in sunnier climbs. And if you’re up for a little adventure, the resort can arrange excursions to nearby attractions like Marble Mountains, Lady Buddha, Ba Na Hills: or you can just Grab as we did and be in control of your own clock…
The Nang Spa is also a must for anyone looking to unwind further. From traditional Vietnamese massages to revitalising facials, the treatments here are worth every penny (Dong).
And if you’re feeling guilty about all the eating and lounging, the fitness centre is fully equipped for a quick workout—although let’s be honest, you’re on holiday: I had a good watch of Wifey and Jude Jude in the fitness centre, I felt so good afterwards, and didn’t even raise a sweat. I walked past this place a few times more during our stay. Job done! I went to the fitness centre.
Pullman Danang Beach Resort Review: Rates
Pullman Danang Rates will clearly vary depending on room choice and time of year. We went BIG, we went suite for me, Wifey and Jude (hey there’s three of us in the room), and a cracking twin deluxe for the girls. We were so very, very happy with these rooms: yeah, bonkers good.
The suite’s standout feature is the spa bath: Jude nearly drowned in bubbles one night. Featuring 1 bedroom, monster living area, this spacious suite offers 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower, a seating area and terrace where you can relax. The air-conditioned suite offers a flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproof walls, a minibar, a tea and coffee maker as well as garden views.
You can get this room @ $520 SGD per night: I am approximating here due to the seasonal disparity.
Deluxe Twin Room With Balcony: Fitted with a balcony, this air-conditioned room features a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a personal safe. An electric kettle and a minibar are included. The en- suite bathroom comes with a bathtub. The girls loved it.
You can get this room @ $245 SGD per night: I am approximating here due to the seasonal disparity.
Why Pullman Danang Beach Resort Is Worth It
Pullman Danang Beach Resort has a knack for making every guest feel special. From the thoughtful little touches in the rooms to the impeccable service, everything about this place is designed to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
It’s the kind of resort where you can do as much or as little as you like. Want to fill your days with activities and excursions? Go for it. Prefer to park yourself by the pool and let time melt away? That works too. We even had Jude Jude feeling ill one day, and still had a lovely relaxing day: a ‘do nothing’ day.
Pullman Danang Yoga
I contacted them about their offer for the first free trial. They asked me how flexible I was. I said I could make it Thursday morning. I thank you. Clerly not my thang. I have to think of other things to do down there when putting on my socks these days…
I am now going to steal from the Pullman Danang, as clearly, this did not grab my attention per se, and luckily I had left my lycra at home. No civil cases coming my way, phew!!!
Namaste, all yoga lovers. Get ready to elevate your beach getaway with a calm, mindful experience, provided by Pullman Danang Beach Resort.

Pullman Danang Beach Resort Review: Final Thoughts
Pullman Danang Beach Resort is the kind of place that leaves you a little breathless, and just wanting more. From its stunning beachfront location to its luxurious rooms and exceptional dining, it offers everything you need for a memorable getaway: my family are still talking about the resort two weeks later.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family holiday, or simply a chance to relax and recharge, this resort has it all, folks, she’s a beauty!!! An absolute star of Vietnam, and some: it’s great that the French are back in Vietnam this time.
So (if high season) pack your bags, and sunscreen, book that room, and prepare to be wowed. Just don’t forget to bring your camera—you’ll want to capture every moment, as I have. If it’s off-season, no drama, brings same said camera and expect your photos with a long-sleeve and not so much on the beach or in the pool… get over it..
And if you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself plotting your return before you’ve even checked out. After all, who wouldn’t want to come back here? I have already pinged the staff, there will be a Kennett return. We LOVED it here.
Does Da Nang or Hoi An Have Better Beaches?
The beach at Pullman Danang is nothing short of spectacular. The sand is soft, the water is clear (and bloody cold when we were there in November haha), and the vibe is pure relaxation: even with the flipping barmy weather we had the days we stayed here. Sun loungers are plentiful, albeit empty (it’s off-season), and the attentive staff are always on hand to bring you a cold drink or a fresh towel, or basically anything you want: maybe a blanket…
Whether you’re building sandcastles with the kids, going for a swim, or simply soaking up the sun of sea spray, this beach ticks all the boxes: it really does. It’s like so immense, one of the biggest beach stretches I have ever seen.
It’s the kind of place that makes you wish you could hit pause on time. I got some amazing photos of the waves crashing and pushing this mist across the beach, almost like a low cloud. Simply stunning. No wonder they’re badging this the Miami of South East Asia… yeah, I truly get it!!!
