Non Nuoc is where Da Nang’s beach resort scene actually begins. The stretch of sand that runs south from My Khe Beach, past the Marble Mountains and along a 5 km arc of quieter coastline, has been the site of large resort compounds for decades — Furama opened here in 1997. Since then the density has increased: a dozen or more international-brand and independent resorts now occupy the frontage, ranging from bamboo-and-wellness retreats to all-villa Marriott compounds.
The beach itself is wider here than the My Khe strip to the north. The water tends to be calmer — useful if you’re travelling with young children, or if you want to swim in peace rather than dodge a city beach crowd in July. The tradeoff is consistent: Non Nuoc is 8 km south of Da Nang’s city centre, past the Marble Mountains, and everything beyond your resort’s perimeter requires a Grab or resort shuttle. You’re not wrong to choose it, but you need to choose it knowingly.
If you’ve already decided on My Khe vs Non Nuoc and want a full zone comparison, the beachfront hotels guide covers that in detail. This guide goes deeper: which Non Nuoc resort to book, and why.

What Non Nuoc actually is
Non Nuoc (Ngũ Hành Sơn Ward) sits at the southern end of Da Nang’s long beach arc, running from roughly the foot of the Marble Mountains south toward the Hoang Sa Golf Resort and the Cau Ha area. Most visitors encounter it as the “resort zone” — the stretch where the beach frontage is occupied by large compounds rather than individual hotels and restaurants.
The geography is different from My Khe. The beach is wider and the sand coarser, and the absence of city infrastructure immediately behind the sand gives the resort zone a genuinely removed feeling, even though Da Nang Airport is only about 10 km away. There are no street food stalls, no noodle shops, no convenience stores within walking distance of most resorts. What there is: established tropical gardens, managed beach sections with lounger service, and enough space that even at capacity, the resorts don’t feel crowded.
The swimming conditions are the same seasonal pattern as all Da Nang beaches — safe and warm from February to August, with improving rip risk from September through December. Non Nuoc’s beach is marginally calmer than the northern My Khe strip in rough conditions, but it follows the same rules. For full detail on swimming safety, the beaches guide covers it properly.
Public beach access exists between the resort perimeters, but there are no facilities on the public stretch. If you’re not staying at one of the resorts, you’ll be on a plain beach with no shade service, no toilets, and no food nearby. Non Nuoc is fundamentally a resort-access beach.
The resorts
Naman Retreat
Naman is the design standout on Non Nuoc. The property was built with bamboo architecture as its central motif — the work of Vo Trong Nghia Architects, whose bamboo-lattice structures run through the restaurant, reception, and walkway pavilions. The result is a property that looks and feels different from any other resort on this stretch: leafy, shaded, quieter in character than the larger compounds.
The resort has 133 units — rooms, garden villas, beachside villas, and pool villas — across well-planted grounds that front directly onto the beach. Three outdoor pools; the main pool is central and large enough to be genuinely useful rather than decorative. The spa is the focus for many guests: treatments are thorough and well-reviewed, and the yoga programme runs daily. Some villas have private plunge pools.
The beach section here is well-managed with full lounger service during beach season. Naman sits opposite the Montgomerie Links and BRG Da Nang Golf Resort courses, which makes it the default pick for golfers who also want beach access.
What Naman doesn’t have: a proper kids club, a waterslide, or the facilities depth of the larger compounds. If you’re travelling with children who need to be occupied independently for hours at a time, this isn’t the right pick. If you want a quieter, design-conscious property with genuine wellness programming, it usually is.
Rooms from: ₫2,800,000/night (standard rooms, shoulder season); pool villas ₫6,000,000–₫10,000,000+
Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang – Wellness Inclusive
Fusion has the highest guest rating of any resort on Non Nuoc: 9.6/10 across multiple review platforms. The wellness-inclusive model is the differentiator — the nightly rate bundles daily spa treatments for every guest, so the effective cost per treatment comes down significantly for anyone who actually uses the spa.
The “wellness inclusive” structure works as follows: two spa sessions per person per day are included in the room rate. These are genuine treatments from the full menu, not a token massage. Yoga classes, a steam room, and guided wellness sessions are also included. The base rate from ₫3,500,000/night looks higher than comparable rooms at Hyatt or Marriott, but if two adults are each doing one treatment daily, the math runs differently.
Beyond the wellness offering: outdoor pool, private beach access, beachfront bar, and standard resort dining. The property is smaller and quieter than Hyatt or Marriott — around 40 rooms and 45 villas, which gives it a more personal feel. The villas have private pools and are rated highly for space and finish.
One practical note: Fusion’s beach frontage is good but the resort isn’t as large-compound as Hyatt or Marriott. If the scale of the grounds matters to you — multiple pools, 49 acres — look at Hyatt. If spa access is central to the trip, Fusion is the most efficient way to get it.
Rooms from: ₫3,500,000/night (wellness inclusive); villas from ₫7,000,000/night
Danang Marriott Resort & Spa / Non Nuoc Beach Villas
Marriott operates two linked properties on Non Nuoc: the main resort (Danang Marriott Resort & Spa) and the Non Nuoc Beach Villas, an all-villa product with private pools. The villas are the core selling point — each is self-contained, spacious, and well-appointed, with a private pool as standard. Guests who want the resort amenities without sharing pool space often end up here.
The main resort has a large infinity pool facing the sea, a private beach section with full lounger service, and several dining options. Service levels are consistent with the Marriott brand — professional, reliable, occasionally impersonal at scale. The location within Non Nuoc is central, with easy Grab access to the Marble Mountains and the city.
Rates vary significantly by category: standard resort rooms from around ₫3,850,000/night, villas with private pools starting around ₫7,500,000. The villas are a more interesting product than the standard rooms — if you’re going to pay Marriott rates, the villa category is usually worth the step up.
Rooms from: ₫3,850,000/night; villas from ₫7,500,000/night
Hyatt Regency Danang Resort and Spa
Hyatt is the easiest default for families and for anyone who wants the most complete resort infrastructure on Non Nuoc. The numbers are the story: 49 acres, 199 rooms and suites, 145 one-to-three-bedroom residences, 23 three-bedroom pool villas, five outdoor pools, and the Camp Hyatt kids club programme. The scale means the resort can absorb a full house without feeling cramped.
The family setup here is covered in detail in the Da Nang family resorts guide — Camp Hyatt runs daily for ages 4–12, there’s a waterslide and mini golf added in 2026, and the residences give families with multiple children a separate living area that makes the difference on longer stays.
For non-family guests, Hyatt’s five pools and managed beachfront work well, but the resort’s family focus is evident throughout. If you want a quieter or more design-driven property, Naman or Fusion may fit better.
Rooms from: ₫3,100,000/night; residences from ₫5,100,000/night
Meliá Danang Beach Resort
Meliá is a 5-star Spanish chain property with a strong presence in Southeast Asia. The Da Nang resort has consistently good ratings (9.2/10) and delivers a complete beach resort experience: beachfront access, outdoor pools, a spa, multiple dining options, and a well-run operation. The design is more contemporary-modern than Naman’s heritage aesthetic, with a style that feels deliberately international.
It’s a solid choice if you want proven brand standards at the top end without Marriott or Hyatt pricing dynamics. The beach section is well-maintained, and the spa and dining are above average for the strip.
Rooms from: ₫4,600,000/night
Four Points by Sheraton Danang
The lowest entry point on Non Nuoc at ₫2,000,000–₫3,100,000/night. Four Points is a Marriott family brand pitched at business-adjacent travellers who want consistent quality without the full resort pricing. The Da Nang property has beach access, a pool, standard F&B, and reasonable service — it functions well as a beach hotel at a price significantly below the luxury compound rates.
If Non Nuoc’s quieter setting appeals but the ₫3,500,000+ rates of Fusion or Naman are more than you want to spend, Four Points gives you the zone without the premium.
Rooms from: ₫2,000,000/night
Beyond the resort: what to do at Non Nuoc
The Marble Mountains are the most significant attraction within immediate reach of every Non Nuoc resort — a 10-minute Grab and ₫70,000–₫100,000 return. The five marble-and-limestone peaks hold cave pagodas, viewing platforms, and Buddhist shrines dating back to the 17th century. The main climb up Thuy Son mountain costs ₫40,000 to enter, plus ₫15,000 for the lift. Budget two to three hours for a thorough visit. The full guide is at Marble Mountains.
Water sports on Non Nuoc’s beach are available through vendors who operate between the resort perimeters during beach season. Jet skiing, paddleboarding, and kayaking are available; surfing is possible during the windy shoulder months (September–October, though beach conditions are also rougher then). Paragliding is offered on the beach but confirm current operation before planning around it — availability is seasonal and operator-dependent.
Golf is accessible from any Non Nuoc resort. Montgomerie Links Vietnam and BRG Da Nang Golf Resort (formerly Nick Faldo) are both on or near the Non Nuoc strip; rates and booking details are in the Da Nang golf guide.
For dinner beyond resort dining, Grab into Da Nang city (₫80,000–₫100,000 one way) reaches Han Market, the An Thuong restaurant strip, and the seafood restaurants on Pham Van Dong. Most Non Nuoc resorts have shuttle services to the city for longer stays — confirm the schedule at check-in.

Booking notes
Seasonality: All Non Nuoc resorts follow Da Nang’s beach season — February to August is when conditions are at their best and rates are at their highest. The June–August peak, particularly August when Vietnamese domestic travel spikes, brings rates 20–30% above shoulder season at most properties. February and March tend to offer dry weather, warm water, and the lowest rates of the year.
Book direct for packages: For stays of three nights or more at Naman or Fusion, the property’s own site often has packages that bundle meals, spa credits, or airport transfers at better effective cost than booking standard room rates via OTAs. For Hyatt and Marriott, points redemption can be strong value at these properties if you hold status.
Transfers: Non Nuoc is 8–10 km from Da Nang Airport. A Grab from the airport runs ₫120,000–₫160,000. Most resorts also offer transfer services — confirm pricing when you book; some include it for longer stays.
Proximity: If you’re planning regular city day trips, factor in the Grab cost both ways per day (₫160,000–₫200,000 total). Over a week this adds up. The zone makes most sense for guests who want to spend the majority of time on-property, with one or two excursions out rather than daily commuting.

FAQ
Which Non Nuoc resort has the best spa? Fusion Resort & Villas bundles two spa treatments per person per day into the room rate — it’s the most spa-forward property on the strip. Naman Retreat also has a well-regarded spa, particularly for yoga and detox programmes.
Can I stay at Non Nuoc and day-trip into Da Nang city? Yes, but build the cost into your planning. A Grab to the city centre runs ₫80,000–₫100,000 one way, so a daily round-trip is ₫160,000–₫200,000. Most resorts also run shuttle services — check the frequency when you book, as these can reduce the cost significantly.
Is there surfing at Non Nuoc Beach? Surfing is possible in the shoulder season when the swell picks up — September and October tend to have the most suitable conditions. Vendors on the beach hire boards and offer basic lessons. In the main beach season (February–August), the water is calmer and less suited to surfing.
How far is Non Nuoc from Da Nang Airport? 8–10 km, roughly 15–20 minutes by Grab (₫120,000–₫160,000). Non Nuoc is actually closer to the airport in travel time than it might appear on a map — the road south from the airport is direct. Most resorts also offer their own airport transfer services.
Which Non Nuoc resort is best for couples without children? Naman Retreat and Fusion Resort & Villas both skew toward couples — smaller, quieter, and more design-forward than the family-heavy Hyatt. Marriott’s Non Nuoc Beach Villas are worth considering if a private pool is the priority.
