Hoi An: The Ideal Destination for Family Travel and Relaxation in 2025

Summer 2025 is just around the corner, bringing with it a vibrant wave of travel across the country. For many families, this is the perfect time to pack up and hit the road, setting aside daily routines to enjoy meaningful time together. However, each family member often has different preferences and vacation needs: the younger generation wants to explore and take photos, older adults seek peace and quiet, while parents hope for a blend of relaxation and cultural experiences. So, where is the destination that can offer something for everyone?

Hoi An, a land where tradition meets modernity, and tranquility blends with vibrancy is the ideal choice. Not only is it home to unique cultural landmarks and exciting tours, but it also features resorts like Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort, which provide spaces and services thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of every generation on a family trip.

Best places for a family vacation in Hoi An this summer

As summer knocks on the door, life seems to grow more vibrant. It’s the perfect time for families to plan a getaway, a chance to unwind, relax, reconnect and create lasting memories across generations.

However, choosing the right destination for the entire family is never simple. Each member has different preferences and needs: Young adults seek new experiences and photo-worthy spots, Parents look for a mix of relaxation and cultural exploration, grandparents value peace and wellness, while Children need safe play areas and connection with nature.

Hoi An, famous not only for its charming ancient town, also offers a rich cultural and tourism ecosystem. Traditional craft villages such as Thanh Ha Pottery Village, Tra Que Vegetable Village, and Kim Bong Carpentry Village give visitors a glimpse into local heritage. Nature experiences like basket boat rides through the Bay Mau Coconut Forest, cycling through the countryside, or watching the sunset along the Thu Bon River add layers of discovery.

Conveniently located, Hoi An also connects easily to regional highlights like Da Nang, Hue, and My Son Sanctuary opening up even more cultural and historical exploration across Central Vietnam.

That’s why, instead of staying in the crowded old town with its limited space, families should consider resorts that offer open, peaceful environments with convenient access to major attractions.

Among these, Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort stands out. A 5-star eco-conscious, plastic-free resort located along the tranquil Co Co River, just minutes from the old town. It features spacious grounds and facilities tailored to all age groups. Silk Sense also offers onsite experiences and curated tours connecting guests to the region’s top destinations. It’s an ideal choice for families seeking a well-rounded vacation relaxing in a green ecosystem while enjoying cultural discovery and meaningful activities together.
