Summer is almost here, bringing with it a plentitude of reasons to travel within Vietnam.

School vacation schedules and no major holidays requiring visits to hometowns make it perhaps the only time all year for families with children to enjoy quality time devoted fully to leisure. Meanwhile, the long days, warm weather, and general carefree atmosphere that envelopes the air are all the encouragement couples and groups of friends need for an overdue getaway. 

June through August is a lovely time to visit Đà Nẵng because the ruinous rainy season has yet to arrive but its proximity to the refreshing Pacific Ocean means it doesn’t suffer the same hot and sticky atmosphere as elsewhere in the country, making it particularly appealing for first-time visitors to Vietnam as well as those returning in search of places they missed before. The area truly has something for everyone with impressive sport opportunities, stunning natural landscapes and ancient monuments alongside famous family-friendly attractions like the Dragon Bridge for those who want to get out and explore. But of course, many summer travelers look forward to a few relaxing days of rest, rejuvenation and oceanside leisure. 

Saigoneer has taken many trips to Đà Nẵng for stories that involve everything from afternoon visits to the art museums to early mornings visiting a family of cao lầu noodle makers. Such unique activities are always exhilarating but often leave us exhausted. Nothing could sound better at those times that a peaceful few days to rest and recharge. The quiet, spacious grounds located halfway between downtown and Hội An make Sheraton Grand Danang Resort a great choice for explorers like us as well as families, couples, groups of friends and even solo travelers to the region, particularly as they are introducing several promotions to entice visitors this summer.

One of Đà Nẵng’s most appealing features is its proximity to the particularly calm beach. Not long after touching down, you’re sure to notice it shimmering in the distance and its calm waters will continuously beckon to you as you travel about the city. The year-round pleasures of it are not a very well-kept secret, and thus the downtown beaches can get crowded. In contrast, Sheraton Grand Danang Resort’s epic, Non Nước beachfront stretches with soft waves and even softer sand pleasantly away from many tourists. Providing gorgeous backgrounds for photos and quiet moments as well as a great venue for an enticing range of water sports activities. A robust collection of in-house equipment for rent includes catamarans, body boards, surfboards, kayaks and standup paddle board (SUP). Under the safe supervision of hotel instructors, newbies and seasoned sports enthusiasts alike can enjoy the watersports all day long. The beach, a few convenient steps from one’s room and the enormous pool with a dedicated children’s play area, also attract many participants for complimentary sunrise yoga. Guests can also snorkel, play football, volleyball and frisbee and rent a bicycle to cycle around the flower-rich property.

While on summer vacation, some people understandably try to move and sweat as little as possible and would much rather have a cocktail in their hand than a boat paddle. To cater to these individuals, Sheraton Grand Danang Resort has introduced the Weekend Sundowner promotion. Live music and BBQ platters accompany the unencumbered tropical intimacy that can only be achieved atop bean bag chairs on the sand with the sound of the surf in the background. The weekly beach event takes place every Saturday and Sunday, making it great for busy folks who can only enjoy a brief respite from the work world. Golds, reds, yellows and purples bloom across the sky each being whisked away by a star-punctuated darkness. When this stunning sunset is accompanied by live music, the feel of sand between one’s toes and the laughter of loved ones, you’ll start wondering if it were possible to move here.

Of course, the seemingly endless pleasures of summer occasionally come with pain. The hot sun coupled with a desire to make every moment of the day count can result in some pretty nasty sunburns. Thankfully, these bright red inconveniences do not need to fester and ruin the rest of one’s holiday. In addition to familiar offerings, Shine Spa for Sheraton has two unique treatments for soothing sunburn and helping one’s skin recover. Relying on peppermint oils as well as natural plant extracts and vitamin E oil, and aloe gel,  they help damaged skin become smooth, soft and comfortable so guests can return to the waves and clear skies.

The older one gets, the less special the phrase “summer vacation” seems to be on account of 9-5 days filling months on end. Yet, we can probably all remember how excited we were as kids to see the calendar slowly approach the glorious summer holidays filled with friends, activities, and carefree hours without chores, studying or work. Who says we cannot experience that bliss as adults? Why not schedule the vacation you've been waiting to treat yourself with?
