Planning a Group Trip to Da Nang: The Practical Guide

We've hosted over 350 groups in 10 years. Families of 8, corporate teams of 40, friend trips of every size. Here's what we've learned about making group trips to Da Nang actually work.

Step 1: Pick Your Villa (and Get the Size Right)

Most people underestimate how much space groups need. Our rule of thumb is 2 people per bedroom. So for 20 people, book a 10-bedroom villa, not 7. The extra space makes the difference between "this is great" and "I need five minutes alone."

All our villas are right on the beach. As one guest put it, "open the door, you see the beach right in front of you." They're in gated compounds with 24/7 security, pools, and restaurants on-site. The smallest sleeps 10, the biggest sleeps 60.

You can browse all 15 villas on the website, or just message me. I know every property inside and out. Tell me your group size, dates, and what matters most (beach access? big pool? walking distance to bars?) and I'll match you in about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Get Everyone There

Da Nang International Airport is 15 minutes from the villas. Direct flights from Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and plenty of other cities. If you're coming from the US or Europe, you'll connect through one of those hubs.

We organize airport pickup for every group. Your driver knows your name, your flight number, and exactly which villa you're heading to. For groups arriving on different flights, we coordinate multiple pickups. You land, someone's waiting, 15 minutes later you're at the villa. That's it.

Step 3: Figure Out Food (This Is Important)

You have options:

• In-villa chef: We bring in a chef who cooks breakfast and dinner right in your villa. Guests consistently tell us this is one of the highlights of the trip. The food is incredible, you skip the hassle of coordinating restaurant reservations for 20 people, and you can eat in your pajamas. Runs about $25-35 per person per day.
• Restaurants: Amazing spots within walking distance or a short Grab ride. I'll send you a list of what our groups have loved. Street food, seafood by the kilo, Vietnamese fine dining, all of it.
• Mix it: Chef for breakfast and a few dinners, restaurants for the rest. This is what most groups end up doing.

Whatever you pick, tell me your group's dietary restrictions and preferences when you book. We've handled vegan groups, halal requirements, severe allergies. We make it work.

Step 4: Plan Activities (Or Don't)

Some groups want every day planned. Others just want to hang out at the beach and the pool. Both are totally fine.

Popular things groups do:

• Hoi An day trip: 30 minutes away. Ancient town, markets, tailors. We book transport and a guide.
• Ba Na Hills: The Golden Bridge with the giant hands. Full day trip, incredible photos.
• Marble Mountains: Caves, temples, views. Half-day.
• Food tour: Street food, local markets, hidden spots. We work with the best guides in town.
• Golf: Three championship courses within 20 minutes. We book tee times.
• Beach activities: Surfing lessons, beach volleyball, or just the beach itself.

For corporate groups, we've organized everything from team-building activities to conference setups in the villa to private yacht charters. Just tell us what you need.

Step 5: Budget (Real Numbers)

Villas range from $300/night (smaller properties, low season) to $1,500/night (big compounds, peak season). Split between 15-30 people, that's $20-70 per person per night. Way cheaper than hotels, and you get the whole place to yourselves.

Add food ($25-50/day per person), activities ($20-100 per person depending on what you do), and you're looking at roughly $100-200 per person per day for the full experience. Accommodation, all meals, activities, airport transfers, everything included.

For comparison, our groups tell us they'd spend more than that just on hotels and restaurants back home.

Step 6: Actually Book It

You can book directly through Airbnb, or message me and I'll walk you through it. If you book through me, I can usually get a better rate, especially for longer stays or multiple villas.

Once you're booked, I'll send you a planning guide with everything you need: what to pack, visa info, local tips, restaurant recommendations, activity options. Then about 2 weeks before you arrive, we'll get on a call and finalize everything.

What People Say

The most common thing we hear: "I didn't have to worry about anything." Groups come here to enjoy time together, not to play logistics coordinator. That's our job.

One more thing: we respond fast. Our guests describe us as "one message away and super responsive." You message me at 11pm with a question, I'm answering. That's just how we work.
