Wafaifo Resort Hoi An has introduced an innovative meetings and events venue that seamlessly merges traditional Vietnamese cultural essence with cutting-edge international amenities. Ideally situated a short walk from Hoi An’s UNESCO-recognized ancient town, the space is thoughtfully designed to cultivate creativity, concentration, and impactful collaboration. With its immersive local design, state-of-the-art technology, and flexible event spaces, the resort sets a new standard for gatherings that are both professionally effective and culturally unforgettable.
Wafaifo Resort Hoi An has officially unveiled a groundbreaking meetings and events destination that redefines how gatherings are experienced in Central Vietnam. Strategically located just minutes from Hoi An’s UNESCO-listed heritage center, the newly launched venue offers a harmonious fusion of Vietnamese cultural richness and modern functionality, setting a new benchmark for corporate and celebratory events alike. The bold design reflects the spirit of Hoi An, incorporating traditional elements such as natural wood accents and wave-patterned flooring with cutting-edge amenities like high-speed Wi-Fi, advanced audiovisual systems, and configurable layouts that accommodate up to two hundred guests.
Wafaifo Resort Hoi An, which officially welcomed guests in December 2024, has introduced a distinctive and purpose-driven meetings and events venue that blends productivity with creativity. Designed to foster concentration, collaboration, and idea-sharing, the space offers a uniquely Vietnamese ambiance that enhances every gathering with cultural charm and modern elegance.
Mikkel Krantz, Commercial Director of the property, said: “As markets experience rising costs, shifting trade dynamics, and increased caution around business spending, organisations are seeking second-tier city destinations that deliver value without compromise.
“Hoi An, just 40 minutes from Da Nang International Airport, is increasingly appealing to planners looking for unique, authentic, and budget-conscious alternatives to major city venues,” he said.
Located just a ten-minute stroll from Hoi An’s UNESCO-listed heritage district, the newly launched property offers a chic and versatile environment ideal for hosting a wide range of gatherings—from corporate meetings and executive getaways to incentive events, creative workshops, weddings, and special celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries.
Venue Highlights
Spanning an impressive 270 square metres, the versatile event space is designed to host up to 200 attendees and can be tailored to suit a variety of layouts and functions. Its contemporary design evokes a modern coastal atmosphere, with interiors enhanced by natural timber finishes, ceiling décor inspired by open skies, and flowing wave-like flooring patterns.
The venue is fully equipped to support seamless events, featuring high-speed Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, and personalised catering options curated by the resort’s culinary team. A dedicated event concierge ensures smooth coordination, while adaptable booking arrangements provide added convenience. The central ballroom includes retractable screens and movable partitions, allowing for dynamic space management.
Additionally, the resort offers two executive boardrooms, one of which is fitted with a complete teleconferencing system for hybrid or remote meetings.
Mr Krantz said that the same service ethic that has quickly wowed guests and earned the resort five-star reviews, will also define the hotel’s event offering.
“We believe Wafaifo’s inspirational event spaces, can-do service standards, superlative catering, and convenient location with ample car parking will more than satisfy meeting needs,” he said.
Significance of Flavor
For each event, menus are thoughtfully designed, creatively matching local ingredients with Vietnamese culinary heritage and international flair. “The amazing culinary sensations created in our kitchen add a real wow factor,” said Mr Krantz.
In April, Wafaifo Resort Hoi An was honored with the Best Hotel Award for Central and Northern Vietnam by the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam.
Since its debut, the resort has garnered glowing feedback on major travel platforms including TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Google, and Trip.com. Guests have consistently highlighted the resort’s meticulous room design, welcoming and attentive staff, and its prime location just a short walk from Hoi An’s historic old town. For beachgoers, An Bang Beach is conveniently located only ten minutes away by car.
Wafaifo Resort Hoi An maintains strong partnerships with travel agencies, MICE professionals, and destination management companies (DMCs) throughout Vietnam and the wider Asia region. The resort offers commissionable packages and welcomes hosted site visits upon request.
