DESCRIBE
Celebrate sunshine and seclusion at one of Vietnam’s most spectacular beach resorts.

From top-tier destination dining to barefoot days of beachside bliss, savour every moment as our team crafts the perfect experience, grounded in Vietnamese hospitality.
Our resort, IHG’s flagship in Indochina, opened in June 2012 on 39 hectares of meticulously preserved mountainside in the Son Tra Peninsula Nature Reserve.
Our 189-room luxury property is hidden in pristine jungle overlooking Bai Bac Bay, with a beautiful 700-metre secluded beach, one of Vietnam’s most beautiful.
Architect Bill Bensley designed the indoor and outdoor spaces of the property, creating a signature fusion of vernacular architecture, bold high-contrast décor and whimsical, storied touches. Throughout the property you will find a wealth of French and Vietnamese inspired furniture, ornately crafted fixtures and original artwork to surprise and delight. InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort was also the first to introduce Michelin-starred dining to Vietnam with Chef Pierre Gagnaire in La Maison 1888. Exceptional dining and recreation facilities make our property a destination unto itself, whether for day trips, meetings, or visits by families and groups of friends.

OPENINGS TIMES
Open Daily, 09:00 – 20:00
Leave behind what you no longer need and let your body and mind reset and restore. Move from knowledge to wisdom and allow us to initiate a new path of vibrant wellbeing.
Sound, vibrations and tones have an impact on the human body and mind, and are catalysts to stimulating your emotions and energy flow.
Mi Sol Spa is named after the tones in the musical scale. The tones (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti) each have a specific vibration frequency. We obtain these different frequencies with the use of tuning forks. With these vibrations we can invoke deep relaxation and emotion. Mi has a frequency at 528 Hz that reinstates equilibrium and stimulates love. Sol (741 Hz) cleanses the mind and body from blockages and toxins.
The treatments and rituals at the Mi Sol Spa are inspired by these sounds. We will help you set new intentions and initiate a new path to vibrant wellbeing. This is our way to help you restore and re-illuminate your inner sunlight.
