The coastal city of Đà Nẵng in central Vietnam has earned a spot among Asia’s top eight travel destinations for 2025, as recognized by a prestigious UK-based travel publication. The city secured third place, standing out for its natural beauty, diverse activities, and exceptional culinary offerings. Notably, it is the only destination from Vietnam to make the list.
Situated between the majestic Sơn Trà Mountain and the South China Sea (locally known as the East Sea), Đà Nẵng is renowned for its breathtaking beaches and serene atmosphere. Mỹ Khê Beach, one of its most famous attractions, has garnered international recognition as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
While maintaining its relaxed vibe, Đà Nẵng is undergoing a vibrant transformation, with an expanding food scene and lively nightlife that rival larger cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
For adventurous travelers, a scenic motorbike ride along the Hải Vân Pass to the nearby UNESCO-listed town of Hội An is a must. Known for its well-preserved ancient architecture and vibrant lantern-lit streets, Hội An offers a rich cultural experience, reflecting Vietnam’s storied past.
Topping the publication’s list for 2025 is Sumba, an untouched island in Indonesia famed for its pristine beaches. Siargao Island, a surfing haven in the Philippines, claims the second spot, further illustrating Asia’s diverse and captivating travel offerings.
With its combination of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and modern attractions, Đà Nẵng continues to draw travelers from around the world, solidifying its place as one of Asia’s must-visit destinations.
