Spread over an area of 50 hectares in Nhon Ly Commune, the three-star resort is situated at the foot of the Phuong Mai Mountain, 25 km from Quy Nhon and far from residential areas, making it an ideal choice for people wishing to escape the bustle of urban life.

Avani Quy Nhon Resort

This resort is on pristine Long Beach in Ghenh Rang Ward, 14 km from downtown Quy Nhon. It is recommended by travel bloggers also due to its proximity to the tomb of famous poet Han Mac Tu.

The poet’s grave is on Thi Nhan Hill in the Ghenh Rang Tourism Area. Tu’s poems emerged in the 1920s and 1930s as the heartbroken voice of a young soul. He had contracted leprosy, then an incurable disease, in 1937 and spent the rest of his life at the Quy Hoa leprosy village established by a French priest. He died aged just 28.

The resort has 63 luxurious rooms and suites with balconies facing the sea. It has a restaurant in a unique location: on the top of a cliff.

A room costs VND3.5-5.4 million per night. Photos courtesy of Avani Quy Nhon Resort.

All rooms have a private balcony or garden and offer panoramic views of the long, sandy beach. A villa with three to four bedrooms costs VND10-18 million a night.

The resort is in Nhon Ly fishing village where most people head out to sea or row along the coast in coracles to earn a living.
