Da Nang which has been recognised as a first-grade city in 2003, is perfectly situated in the center of Vietnam – 759km from Hanoi and 960km from Ho Chi Minh City with easy access via Danang International Airport, which already serves 16 direct international routes with over 20 international airlines present and more such as Qatar Airways joining soon.

In recent years, Da Nang has been witnessing rapid growth and is now considered to be the main economic and tourism hub of Vietnam’s Central Coast. City authorities have been focusing on sustainable  green growth strategy thanks to which Da Nang has been chosen as one of the first 33 cities in the world to join the “100 Resilient Cities Challenge” by Rockefeller Foundation, as well as first 20 APEC low-carbon model cities. Da Nang has also received multiple awards and prizes, including the ASEAN Environmentally Sustainable City Award 2011 and the 2013 Asian Townscape Awards by the United Nations Human Settlement Program (UN Habitat Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific).

In 2017, rising position of Da Nang has been confirmed by the city being selected to host the 2017 APEC Meeting, which further contributed to property market’s development.

With over 60km of white sand beaches and three UNESCO World Heritage sites within short driving distance(Hoi An, My Son and Hue), Da Nang continues to be Vietnam’s premier seaside and fastest growing tourism destination bringing more international investors. With growing number of direct international flights to/from destinations such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Macau, Xian, Ningbo, and pleasant warm  weather for great majority of the year,  Da Nang is getting attention from international hospitality and property brands such as Intercontinental, Hyatt Regency and Banyan Tree to name just a few.

Apart from beautiful beaches, Da Nang offers entertainment such as Bana Hills Fantasy Park with one of the the longest cable cars in the world, International Casino Club, 4 world class golf courses, multiple modern cinemas, annual festivals and a theme park named Asia Park under construction.
