Da Nang
& Hoi An

Arrival · Son Tra Peninsula

Arrive Da Nang · InterContinental Sun Peninsula · Welcome Dinner at La Maison 1888

Touch down at Da Nang International, where your Mosaico private transfer is waiting. Forty minutes east along the coast and onto the Son Tra Peninsula — a protected nature reserve climbing dramatically into the South China Sea — to the InterContinental Sun Peninsula. Bill Bensley's masterpiece is built into the hillside on four levels (Heaven, Sky, Earth, Sea) connected by a private funicular. Settle in to a Sea View Terrace Suite, watch the funicular descend through the canopy as the sun drops behind the mountains, and gather for a Welcome Dinner at La Maison 1888 — Da Nang's only Michelin-starred restaurant, in a recreated French colonial mansion.

Da Nang · Marble Mountains & Linh Ung

Marble Mountains, Lady Buddha & Resort Afternoon

Morning with your private guide to the Marble Mountains — five limestone peaks each named for an element (Water, Wood, Fire, Metal, Earth), riddled with Buddhist grottoes, hidden pagodas and a panoramic summit climb that rewards every step. A short transfer to Linh Ung Pagoda on the Son Tra Peninsula to see the 67-metre Lady Buddha statue, the tallest in Vietnam, gazing serenely over Da Nang Bay. Afternoon at leisure at the resort — the Bensley spa, the multi-tier pools, or simply the private beach where the funicular meets the sand.

Round One · BRG Da Nang Resort

BRG Da Nang — Norman Course

Twenty minutes south of the resort, the Norman Course at BRG Da Nang is Greg Norman's tour-quality coastal links — opened 2010, host of the Asian Tour, and consistently ranked among Vietnam's top three. The routing weaves through coastal sand dunes with ocean views from nine of the eighteen holes; the bunkering is true links style, the greens fast and sloping. Lunch at the Tom Doak-designed Dunes Clubhouse (yes, that Tom Doak) before returning to the resort. Evening at the Citron restaurant — perched in cone-shaped pavilions over the cliff edge, watching the sunset paint the South China Sea.

Round Two · Ba Na Hills

Ba Na Hills (Faldo) & The Golden Bridge

An early morning round at Ba Na Hills Golf Club — Sir Nick Faldo's mountain-forest design 45 minutes inland from the coast, set among ancient pines at the foot of the Truong Son range. Faldo's first course in Vietnam, and arguably his most dramatic anywhere: serpentine fairways carved through forest, four sets of tees that change the course's character entirely, and a routing that climbs and falls with the natural contours. After lunch, take the world's longest cable car (5,800 metres) up to the Ba Na Hills resort area and the famous Golden Bridge — held aloft by two giant stone hands at 1,400 metres elevation. Late afternoon return to the InterContinental.

Round Three · Lang Co Bay

Laguna Lang Co — Faldo's Lagoon Masterpiece

An hour north along the Hai Van Pass — one of Asia's great coastal drives — to Laguna Lang Co. Faldo's second Vietnamese commission and his self-proclaimed favourite of his Asian designs: a 7,100-yard par-71 routing through tropical lagoons, paddy fields, ancient banyans and the foothills of the Truong Son. Five different ecosystems on a single course, water in play on twelve holes, the Truong Son range rising above every fairway. Long lunch at the Banyan Tree clubhouse, then the Hai Van Pass return drive — perhaps a stop at Lang Co Beach, frequently called Vietnam's most beautiful. A quiet final evening at the InterContinental.

Transfer · Hoi An Ancient Town

Four Seasons Nam Hai · Old Town Walk · Lantern Boat at Dusk

A leisurely morning, then the forty-minute private transfer south to the Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai — 100 beachfront villas designed by Reda Amalou, set on a kilometre of private Ha My Beach between Da Nang and Hoi An. Settle in to a One-Bedroom Pool Villa, lunch at La Sen overlooking the three reflecting pools, and rest. Late afternoon, your private Mosaico guide collects you for a walking tour of Hoi An Ancient Town — the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Tan Ky merchant house, the Quan Cong Temple, the night market on the riverside. As darkness falls, you board a private wooden sampan for the lantern boat ride: a slow drift down the Thu Bon River with a thousand silk lanterns reflecting on the water and a single boatman with a single oar. It is the moment Hoi An is famous for, and it earns the reputation entirely.

My Son · Hoi An Crafts

My Son at Sunrise · Coffee Cupping · Bespoke Tailoring

A pre-dawn departure for the hour drive west to My Son Sanctuary — the spiritual capital of the Cham kingdom from the fourth to thirteenth centuries, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set in a green valley ringed by mountains. Arriving before the buses, you have the brick towers and the jungle silence largely to yourselves; your private guide unpacks the syncretic Hindu-Buddhist iconography that makes My Son Vietnam's most extraordinary archaeological site. Breakfast at the sanctuary, then return to Hoi An.

Late morning, a Vietnamese coffee class with a celebrated central-coast roaster: cupping the four Vietnamese varietals (Robusta, Arabica, Liberica, Excelsa), pour-over technique, the traditional phin filter, and the cultural history of Vietnamese coffee from French missionary plantings to the present-day specialty scene. Afternoon, your bespoke fitting at one of Hoi An's most respected ateliers — choose the cloth, the cut, the lining; the suits or shirts will be cut overnight, ready for a final fitting before departure. Evening at leisure on Ha My Beach.

Round Four · Cooking School

Hoiana Shores · Red Bridge Cooking Class · Farewell Dinner

A morning round at Hoiana Shores — the newest of the four, opened 2020, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. across a kilometre of South China Sea coastline fifteen minutes south of the Four Seasons. The reaction has been immediate and unambiguous: ranked Vietnam's best new course on opening, top three nationally within three years, with USGA-spec sand greens, ocean views from the majority of holes, and conditioning to match anywhere in Asia. Lunch at the clubhouse, then back to the resort.

Late afternoon, the Red Bridge Cooking School experience: a sampan ride upriver from the Ancient Town, a guided tour of Hoi An's famous central market, then five courses cooked alongside a Red Bridge chef in the school's open-air kitchen on a working herb farm. The Farewell Dinner is the meal you've cooked, served at long teak tables under lanterns at the riverside.

Departure · Da Nang

Leisure Morning · Final Fitting · Onward Travel

A leisurely final morning. Late breakfast at the Four Seasons, time on Ha My Beach, the final fitting and collection of your bespoke pieces from the tailor (delivered to the resort). Private transfer to Da Nang International for your onward flight. Mosaico's concierge is at your side until check-in.
