Your 5-star Gateway to “World Heritage Road” in central Vietnam and four UNESCO-listed World Heritage sites
The luxurious Furama Resort Danang is a true icon of Vietnam ourism. This 5-star haven on world-famous Da Nang beach is celebrated as Vietnam’s most prestigious resort – counting royalty, presidents, movie stars and international business leaders among its celebrity guests.
A multi-award winner for its unfaltering commitment to world-class service and facilities, the Furama is not only consistently voted Vietnam’s No 1 resort, leading international polls also rank it among the very best resorts in Asia.
But the Furama is much more than an idyllic tropical retreat, it is also a premier base for exploring one of Asia’s most exciting new destinations – in the early days of being “discovered” by international tourism.
Just a short drive from Danang lay four UNESCO-listed World Heritage Sites: the former imperial city of Hue (2 hours), the ancient ‘Silk Road’ trading port of Hoi An (30 minutes away), the spiritual centre of the Champa civilization, My Son (90 minutes) and the mystical Phong Nha Caves in Quang Binh province (7 hours), considered by some an access to the inner earth!
Da Nang has its own International Airport with domestic flights to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh city, Buon Me Thuot, Pleiku, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon and Da Lat. There are international direct flights from Bangkok and Singapore with plans for future flights from Macau, Japan and Korea. Furama Resort Da Nang is just 15 minutes drive from Da Nang International Airport.
Furama Danang provides free wireless internet to all public areas including lounges, restaurants, bars, ballrooms and meeting rooms.
The Furama Resort Danang has created a lasting impression for both local and international visitors. This is not only due to the government’s confidence in its attentive care for dignitaries such as Hu Jintao - People's Republic of China's Secretary General, Jiang Zemin – People's Republic of China's former Secretary General, President Nathan of Singapore, President Papulias of Greece, Queen Sophia of Spain, Prince Henrik of Denmark, Crown Prince of Japan, Royal Highness Prince Bolkiah of Brunei Darussalem, ASEAN Secretary General Pitsuwan as well as Miss World 2008 Ksenia Sukhinova, Miss World 2006 Tatama Kucharova, Miss World 2004 Maria Julia Mantilla, Miss Grand Slam Asia 2009 Tran Thi Huong Giang, Miss Earth-Water 2006 and Miss Philippines-Earth 2006 Catherine Yu Untalan and Miss Vietnam Ao Dai Runner up 1995 Chung Vu Thanh Uyen but it is also because the Furama is a place that has been selected to host significant events at both the national and international level.
Our “Diving Base” is meanwhile pioneering international-standard scuba diving in Vietnam – as the resort also develops as a renowned venue for events, conference and incentive travel.
