Hoiana Resort & Golf: A Premier Destination for Golfers
Located in Quang Nam Province, Hoiana Resort & Golf is a truly exceptional integrated resort, offering a combination of luxury accommodation, fine dining, entertainment, and world-class golfing.

The centrepiece of the resort is the Hoiana Shores Golf Club, which has rapidly gained recognition as one of Asia’s premier golf destinations. The 18-hole championship course was designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Jr, whose vision brought to life a challenging and visually stunning layout. The course is not only known for its strategic design but also for its panoramic views of the Eastern Sea and Cham Islands, providing a one-of-a-kind golfing experience.
