Quy Nhơn: the Vietnam nobody told you about (and it's about to become Da Nang)

In 2018, Da Nang was the "Phuket without the crowds." Today it has 60 five-star hotels, queues in Hoi An at 7 p.m. and beach Airbnbs at $180. Anyone who went during that short window between 2014 and 2018 saw the best of a Vietnamese city before mass tourism took over. That window closed. The next one opened 200km south, in Quy Nhơn, capital of Bình Định province. White-sand beaches with five people instead of five thousand. 11th-century Cham towers with no queue. Seafood at $6 with cold beer at a family restaurant. Direct flight Saigon-Phu Cat in 1h15. A five-star Anantara at half the price of its Da Nang equivalent. This is the story of a city that's three years behind on the development curve — and why that's a good thing for anyone traveling in 2026-2027.
