Off the coast of Hoi An, the Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham) form a UNESCO-recognised World Biosphere Reserve — a cluster of islets where white-sand beaches meet coral reefs and traditional crafts. From Sea Garden Hotel & Apartment in Son Tra, pair the islands with a Hoi An day trip for a full coastal escape, returning to the hotel’s 4th-floor pool in the evening.
Highlights
- A World Biosphere Reserve – Recognised by UNESCO on May 26, 2009, at Jeju Island, South Korea, covering a total area of 33,737 hectares, with a core area of all islets and functional zones, a marine buffer zone and a 1,517-hectare transition zone.
- Beautiful beaches – Bai Ong, Bai Chong, Bai Lang and Bai Xep are among the islands’ beaches.
- History and traditional crafts – Historical sites, architectural works and traditional crafts, including edible bird’s nest harvesting in Thanh Chau – Hoi An and Ngo Dong tree-bark hammock weaving in Cu Lao Cham.
- Getting there – By high-speed canoe, about 15–20 minutes from Cua Dai Port — the most popular and fastest option — or by wooden boat, about 90 minutes. Additional fees apply, and visitor regulations apply.
Good to know: The islands are best enjoyed as a day trip from the mainland, with time for the beaches and the traditional craft villages before the boat back. After a day on the water, return to Sea Garden and unwind in the 4th-floor pool.
