Hoi An beach holiday made easier with Emirates’ new flight

For years, international travelers dreaming of a serene Hoi An beach holiday had to fly into Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City before making their way to Central Vietnam. But now, that long detour is a thing of the past. With Emirates’ newly launched direct flight from Dubai to Da Nang, exploring the cultural richness and coastal charm of Hoi An has never been more accessible. This exciting new route not only shortens the journey, it redefines it. Imagine landing in Da Nang and arriving at your beachfront resort in under an hour, ready to unwind by the sea or stroll through ancient lantern-lit streets. 

Emirates opens direct Dubai – Da Nang route

In June 2025, Emirates officially launched its direct flight from Dubai to Da Nang, operated four times a week with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, marking a significant improvement in travel convenience to Central Vietnam. This route offers a seamless journey for international visitors, particularly from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa regions previously underserved when it came to direct access to Vietnam’s central coast.

In the past, travelers had little choice but to transit through Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, often facing multiple stopovers, domestic flight bookings, and long hours of waiting. These layovers added both stress and expense to what should have been a simple journey. Now, thanks to Emirates’ direct connection, passengers can enjoy a faster, more comfortable experience. 

Say goodbye to exhausting layovers and long domestic transfers, travel time is shortened by several hours, baggage is checked through without interruption. Travelers can enjoy world-class onboard services from departure to arrival, all without the hassle of domestic connections. This new route doesn’t just connect two cities; it transforms the travel experience, allowing more people to reach Central Vietnam easily. 

A new boost for central Vietnam tourism

Beyond its immediate convenience, the new Dubai – Da Nang route represents a deeper strategic shift in how Central Vietnam is positioned on the global tourism map. By integrating Da Nang into its extensive international network, Emirates signals that the region is no longer just a stopover, it’s a destination in its own right.

Hoi An, Da Nang, and the surrounding areas of Quang Nam have long been beloved for their cultural richness, pristine beaches, and authentic charm. However, they often remained in the shadow of Vietnam’s two major cities due to limited international accessibility. This direct route changes that narrative. Now, global travelers can arrive in the heart of Central Vietnam without detouring through urban centers, making destinations like Hoi An the first destination in their journey instead of the final one.

This shift opens up tremendous potential for the region. Local economies gain access to higher-spending visitors who stay longer and seek deeper, more meaningful experiences. The hospitality sector is encouraged to raise its standards, while the global perception of Central Vietnam begins to align more closely with its true value: a place of beauty, history, and tranquility. It’s in this new landscape that destinations like Bliss Hoi An begin to shine, offering exactly the kind of luxury, serenity, and cultural connection that today’s travelers are looking for.
