Vietnam’ s sleepy beach town of Da Nang will hit the limelight when the Bill Bensley-designed Inter- Continental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort opens on June 1. Nestled in the hills of the Son Tra Peninsula outside Da Nang, the resort features 197 guest rooms, suites and villas, spread across four levels – Heaven, Sky, Earth and Sea – which are linked by a funicular train that climbs the forested slopes. Guests can soak in deep marble bathtubs, lounge on their balconies overlooking the sea( although the best views in the house have to come from the Penthouse’ s infinity pool, pictured), or sample authentic Vietnamese cuisine in the private dining booths of signature restaurant Citron, which are suspended 100 meters above the crashing waves. www. intercontinental. com
