In just 24 hours, you can visit the moss-covered ancient town, savor signature local dishes, and at the same time enjoy moments of relaxation in the serene green space at Silk Sense. Only one day, yet enough to both explore, recharge, and create unforgettable memories.
Silk Sense is by your side on this journey, making every hour and every minute in Hoi An feel longer, slower, and more fulfilling.
Who should choose a 1-day itinerary in Hoi An?
Not everyone has several days to wander. That is why a 1-day itinerary in Hoi An becomes an ideal choice for:
- Those who have been on a long tour in Central Vietnam and just want to stay in Hoi An for one more day to admire its heritage beauty
- Business travelers in Da Nang, with only 24 hours to find some peace before returning to their busy routines
- Those who enjoy short getaways, want to experience green spaces, spa, and cuisine… without much traveling
With Silk Sense, you will realize that one day in Hoi An is by no means short, because within that time, you have already touched the heritage, felt the tranquility, and rejuvenated your positive energy.
What does a 1-day experience in Hoi An and at Silk Sense include?
A day in Hoi An and at Silk Sense offers a variety of experiences, more fulfilling than you might expect.
Morning: Start the day peacefully at Silk Sense
A day in Hoi An should begin leisurely, starting with breakfast at Areca Restaurant. The restaurant offers a carefully curated menu featuring both traditional Vietnamese flavors and refined Western dishes. In a bright, sun-filled space overlooking the green garden, you can leisurely sip your coffee and gradually awaken your taste buds.
Afterwards, take some time to stroll through Silk Sense’s lush garden, breathe in the fresh air, and watch the gentle flow of the Co Co River. These are rare moments to let your mind settle, preparing you for an exciting journey exploring Hoi An’s ancient town ahead.
Noon: Explore the heritage of the ancient town
When the sun is up, begin your journey to explore Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In just a few hours, you can stroll along streets paved with golden bricks, visit the serene Japanese Covered-Bridge, admire the old merchant houses that bear the marks of a once-thriving trading port, or wander through the vibrant lantern-filled streets.
Don’t forget to savor the dishes that embody Hoi An’s culinary soul, such as Cao Lau and Mi Quang. Each flavor tells the story of the land, allowing you not only to enjoy a delicious meal but also to experience the essence of local culture.
In just a short midday visit, you can already taste the culture, history, and local cuisine – enough to see that a one-day journey is by no means limited.
Afternoon: Return to Silk Sense and restore balance
After exploring the ancient town, let your body rest and recharge as you return to Silk Sense. You can relax in the cool swimming pool amid the garden, enjoying the fresh water that washes away all fatigue.
If you wish to pamper yourself further, an herbal treatment at Lotus Spa is the ideal choice. Skilled massage techniques combined with natural essential oils from Caman Village will soothe your body and bring calm to your mind.
And don’t forget the unique activities right within the resort: an energetic Pickleball match with friends or a Farming Tour where you can personally tend the vegetable garden, connecting with nature and Hoi An’s culture in the closest way.
Evening: Unwind with dinner
As night falls, Hoi An becomes more serene and romantic than ever. This is also the perfect time to close a long day with dinner at Nipa Bistro.
In a garden-side setting next to the tranquil pool, with warm yellow lights reflecting on the water, each meticulously prepared dish is not just a flavor but a culinary art experience. In that moment, you will clearly feel the harmony between nature – culture – the people of Hoi An, turning a short day into a lasting memory.
Silk Sense is not just a place to stay, but a green resort complex – a space that balances rest and experiences. Right within the resort, you can find everything you need: refined cuisine, soothing spa treatments, energetic sports activities, and an organic garden connected to local culture.
With Silk Sense by your side, in just one day, you can both touch the heritage of Hoi An’s ancient town and fully enjoy a 5-star resort experience!
