Welcome to our beautiful home, Hoi An! As a local who has watched the sunrise over An Bang Beach since childhood, I am incredibly proud to welcome travelers from all corners of the world to this peaceful slice of paradise.
One of the best-kept secrets of An Bang Beach is its unbeatable central location. Staying at An Bang Garden House means you are harmoniously tucked away in a serene, green sanctuary , yet you are practically at the center of all the action:
An Bang Beach: Just 50 steps (130 meters) from your bedroom door .
Hoi An Ancient Town (UNESCO): A scenic 4 km bicycle ride or a quick 10-minute car ride away .
Tra Que Vegetable Village: A quick 1.8 km trip to experience local organic farming .
Cam Thanh Coconut Forest: Just 5 km away, famous for traditional basket boat rides .
Vinpearl Nam Hoi An: An easy 18 km drive down the southern coast .
Cham Islands: Boat departures from nearby Cua Dai port are just minutes away .
To make your transition from Da Nang International Airport (located about 24 km away) as smooth as possible, we have compiled this comprehensive, stress-free guide . No matter if you are a solo backpacker, a romantic couple, or a large multi-generational family, here is how you can easily find your way to our garden oasis .

Option 1: The Budget Route (Suburban Bus)
If you are traveling solo, carrying light luggage, and want to experience local transit, the suburban bus is a highly affordable choice.
- How it works: While the old local Bus #1 has been suspended, you can now take the Hai Van Suburban Bus which directly connects Da Nang International Airport to the Cua Dai Parking Lot in Hoi An.
- Cost: 120,000 VND per trip.
- Operating Hours: 07:30 to 16:00 daily.
- Local Tip: The bus will drop you off at a central station or a parking lot in Hoi An, meaning you will need to take a short, inexpensive local taxi or Grab ride to cover the remaining distance to our villa at Kiệt 150 Nguyễn Phan Vinh, An Bàng.
Option 2: The On-Demand Tech Route (Grab app)
Ridesharing is very popular in Vietnam. If you are familiar with Uber, Lyft, or Bolt, downloading the Grab app before your arrival will make your trip highly convenient.
- How it works: Open the app upon landing, enter your destination as “An Bang Garden House,” and choose your vehicle.
- Vehicle Options: You can book a standard 4-seater car (ideal for 1-2 passengers with luggage) or a GrabCar 7 (a 7-seater SUV, better for 3-4 passengers with heavy bags).
- Finding your driver at the Airport:
- International Arrivals: Walk out of the terminal, follow the green umbrella signs, and walk to Lane 1 or Lane 2.
- Domestic Arrivals: Walk right towards the parking lot / food & drink shops to meet your driver. Always double-check the license plate on your app before getting in!
- Local Tip: Grab is fantastic, but during heavy rain, peak hours, or late-night arrivals (after 22:00), prices can surge significantly, and finding an available 7-seater car can sometimes be quite difficult.
Option 3: The Adventure Route (Self-Drive Car or Motorbike)
For those who want absolute freedom to drive over the legendary Hai Van Pass, explore Ba Na Hills, or cruise the coastal roads of Central Vietnam at their own pace, renting your own vehicle is an incredible option.
- Motorbike Rental: We can easily help you rent a reliable scooter or motorbike directly at the villa. It’s the ultimate local way to zip through Hoi An’s narrow alleys and gorgeous rice fields .
- Self-Drive Car Rental (with Airport Delivery): Reputable local providers like Hop Nhat Travel or Dai Gia Dinh offer a convenient delivery service. They will park the car directly at Da Nang International Airport, allowing you to walk out, inspect the vehicle, sign the papers, and drive straight to Hoi An.
- Requirements: You must have a valid passport, a valid home country driver’s license alongside an International Driving Permit (IDP), and pay a security deposit.
- Daily Price: 4-seater sedans range from 500,000 to 900,000 VND/day; larger 7-seater SUVs (like Toyota Fortuner or Mitsubishi Xpander) range from 900,000 to 1,800,000 VND/day.
- Local Warning: Traffic in Vietnam can be chaotic and follows its own “organic” flow. If you are not used to riding in busy Asian traffic, we highly recommend choosing a private driver instead.
Option 4: The VIP Gold Standard (Our Direct Private Car Service)
Highly Recommended for Families, Small Groups, and Stress-Free Travel
If you are traveling as a family, carrying bulky luggage, traveling with children, or arriving on a late-night flight, booking a direct private transfer through An Bang Garden House is by far the most comfortable and reliable choice .
- The Big Saving: If you need a larger 7-seater car, booking directly with us is always cheaper than booking a standard GrabCar 7 on the spot. We offer competitive, fixed local rates without any of Grab’s sudden surge-pricing.
- How it works: Simply send a message to Joseph or Ms. Hai via Zalo/WhatsApp (+84 989 788 463) with your flight number and arrival time.
- The VIP Experience:
- Your friendly private driver will wait for you directly outside the arrival gate holding a welcome board with your name on it.
- No waiting in long queues or searching for pickup lanes in the heat. The driver will help you carry all your heavy luggage directly to the air-conditioned vehicle.
- All airport entrance fees, parking fees, and highway tolls are 100% included—there are absolutely no hidden costs.
- Our drivers know our quiet neighborhood perfectly . They will drop you directly at the door of An Bang Garden House , where Ms. Hai will be waiting with a cold welcome drink!
- Perfect for Group Sizes: We can arrange compact 4-seater sedans, spacious 7-seater SUVs, or large 16-seater vans (like Ford Transit or Hyundai Solati), making it incredibly cost-effective for groups of 4 to 10 guests staying in our 4-bedroom villa.
