Fodor's Expert Review Muca Hoi An Boutique Resort & Spa

Laid-back, intimate, and set amid lush tropical gardens, the Muca sits on the river's edge under the shade of coconut trees, just 4 km (2 miles) from Old Town and the beach. Three airy colonial buildings house bright rooms, each offering elegant antique furnishings, modern marble-tiled en suite bathrooms, and river or garden views. At the heart of the resort lies the infinity pool and over the river, a stilted, palm-thatched dining platform—both are popular spots to watch the sunset. More energetic pastimes are offered in the form of free kayak and bicycle rentals, and line-fishing lessons. There's a complimentary shuttle bus, available on request for both beach and town.
