HOI AN, Vietnam, 12 May 2025 – Wafaifo Resort Hoi An, which opened its doors in December 2024, has unveiled its timely, inspirational meetings and events space designed for focus, flow, and the connection of people and ideas, all with a Vietnamese twist.
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.
A 10-minute walk from Hoi An’s UNESCO heritage centre, the new property provides a stylish and functional setting for meetings, executive retreats, incentive programmes, creative workshops, weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries.
The details
The 270 sqm meeting venue can accommodate gatherings of up to 200 guests and can be configured in various formats. The interiors feature natural wood accents, sky-inspired ceiling decor, and wave-patterned flooring, giving the space a contemporary marine feeling.
The meetings facility includes high-speed Wi-Fi and advanced AV capabilities, customised event menus created by the in-house F&B team, a dedicated event concierge, and flexible booking options to meet client needs. The main ballroom features retractable event screens and movable partitions.
The facilities include two executive boardrooms, one with a full teleconferencing set up.
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.
Importance of taste
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 won the Australia Chamber of Commerce Vietnam award for best hotel in the centre and north of the country.
Since opening, the resort has received very positive reviews across leading travel platforms such as TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Google, Trip.com, and more. Guests have praised the resort for the attention to detail in its rooms, its friendly service-oriented team, and convenient location within walking distance of Hoi An’s heritage centre. An Bang beach is a 10-minute drive away.
Wafaifo Resort Hoi An works closely with travel agents, MICE planners, and DMCs across Vietnam and Asia. Commissionable packages and hosted site inspections are available on request.
