Bac My An Beach is some seven kilometers southeast of Da Nang, or a 15-minute drive south of the Da Nang airport, in Bac My An Ward in Ngu Hanh Son District.

The natural beach remained virtually untouched until after 1975 when local authorities decided to erect a resort for civil officials of the then Quang Nam-Da Nang Province.

In recent years, many resorts have gone up in the region. They include T18, My Da Dong 2, My Da Dong 3, Bac My An and Furama.

The five-star Furama of Furama Hotels and Resorts International and Da Nang-based Danatours has almost 200 rooms and suites, which all have balconies or open onto terraces overlooking the ocean, the tropical garden or the swimming pool.

The resort’s architecture mixes French colonial and Vietnamese traditional styles. To keep guests busy, the resort has a gym, steam baths, saunas, a massage and beauty salon and offers sailing, wind surfing, boating, boogie boarding, water-skiing, parasailing, fishing, diving and beach volleyball.
