A perfect time for a family getaway to Hoi An
Summer in Hoi An carries a unique gentleness. Unlike the harsh heat found in many central regions, the summer weather here is radiant but pleasantly mild, making outdoor activities enjoyable.

From April to August, the city also comes alive with festivals and family-friendly events, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere.
Fun family activities to explore in Hoi An
Ride a cyclo around the Ancient Town
Hop on a cyclo and slowly roll through the lantern-lit streets of the Old Town. It’s a charming and relaxing way to admire centuries-old houses, moss-covered tiled roofs, and picture-perfect corners ideal for family photos. For kids, this traditional mode of transport is both safe and exciting – offering a fun, hands-on way to learn about local culture.
The friendly cyclo drivers often share fascinating stories about old Hoi An, turning a simple ride into a warm and engaging journey.
Discover Hoi An’s unique cuisine
No trip to Hoi An is complete without exploring its renowned culinary scene. Sharing local dishes as a family is a delightful experience from the chewy noodles of cao lau, crispy fried wontons, to the famous Phuong’s banh mi and golden mi Quang. Every bite tells a story, crafted with love and precision by the people of Hoi An.
Many restaurants also offer kid-friendly cooking classes, where little ones can roll up their sleeves and make traditional Vietnamese dishes – a fun, educational activity that the whole family can enjoy and remember.
Visit The Hoi An Lune Center
To dive deeper into Vietnamese culture in an exciting and modern way, don’t miss the Hoi An Lune Center. Their shows blend circus arts, contemporary dance, and traditional music, captivating both adults and children alike.

The venue itself is a work of art, designed in the shape of a traditional conical hat, located right in the heart of Hoi An. It’s a cultural experience that is immersive and elegantly memorable.
Enjoy a night boat ride on the Hoai River
Hoi An at night is a spectacle of shimmering lights and reflections. One of the most magical ways to take it all in is by taking a boat ride along the Hoai River. As the sun sets, lanterns light up the water, and your family can join locals in releasing flower lanterns, each carrying a wish for peace and happiness.
For children, gently floating on a small boat, holding their parents’ hands, and watching their lantern drift away will be a sweet memory for years to come.
Unwind at Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort
After a day full of exploration, there’s no better place to relax than Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort – a five-star sanctuary along the peaceful Co Co River. With lush gardens, local charm, and modern comforts, it’s the perfect retreat for the entire family.
One of the resort’s highlights is its chlorine-free infinity mineral saltwater pool, which is safe for children and those with sensitive skin. The natural minerals help soften the skin and relax the body, creating a truly rejuvenating experience. This kind of gentle wellness offering is something few resorts can provide.
Silk Sense also features the Caman Village, where kids can join gardening sessions, harvest fresh vegetables, and learn about eco-friendly farming.
