Regardless if you are traveling to Hoi An for the monthly Lantern Festival, or at another time, you are likely coming to explore the ancient downtown area, and see the breathtaking spectacle of light and color. While the Lantern Festival is the monthly highlight, there are still lots of lanterns and river boat tours available on other days.
To fully immerse yourself in the enchantment, select accommodation adjacent to the Hoi An Ancient Town. Our preference is An Hoi Island, which is located directly south of Hoi An's Ancient Town, separated by the Thu Bon River and easily accessible via several bridges. An Hoi Island is also a preferred locations as it hosts the lively night market, and has lots of modern and higher-class accommodation.
Here you can find the accommodations that are available when you visit:
Bel Marina Hoi An Resort offers a luxurious retreat just a 5–10-minute walk from the heart of the Ancient Town. Its prime location provides easy access to the enchanting Lantern Festival activities on the Thu Bon River and in the Ancient Town, and the vibrant Hoi An Night Market. You can enjoy breathtaking river views and a relaxing escape, and even take the electric shuttle to An Bang Beach. This makes it an excellent choice for experiencing the best of Hoi An's cultural charm and lively atmosphere.
