I Found the BEST Beach Town in Vietnam... (Hoi An 2026)

A digital nomad argues that Hoi An is a better long-term base than Da Nang, highlighting affordable resort living, peaceful rice-field scenery, and a relaxed vibe. He demonstrates a studio apartment in a beach resort with private beach access for $800 per month, noting this would cost double in Da Nang. The video covers local food ($10 meals, $3 coconut coffee), coworking options (rice-field cafés and Hub Hoi An), and a recovery spa with sauna and ice bath. Negatives include small supermarkets (a 30-minute drive to Da Nang for a big one), basic gyms, limited English among locals, and few padel players. The creator also promotes a US LLC service for nomads and his own Nomad Tribe community. Overall, Hoi An is framed as exceptionally peaceful, inexpensive, and scenic for remote workers.
