Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you book an overnight stay, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I earn nothing from day pass bookings. Full disclosure.
Hoi An doesn't run a formal day-pass market the way Phuket or Bali do. Ask on the Hoi An travel forums and locals will point you to the public sand at An Bang or Cua Dai instead.
Five beachfront and riverside resorts do sell genuine pool access to non-guests. Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa, Anantara Hoi An Resort, and Palm Garden Beach Resort & Spa are the three worth booking first.
Prices run from 120,000 VND (about $5.20) at Sol An Bang to 300,000 VND (about $13) at Victoria. Every pass bundles pool time with something extra, a food credit, a happy hour, gym or spa access, so the low prices go further than the number alone suggests.
None of these passes route through a third-party platform. Confirm the day and hours by phone before you go, since resort promotions in Hoi An change with the season and aren't always kept current on the hotel's own website.
- Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa — 300,000 VND (about $13), the biggest pool and private beach
- Anantara Hoi An Resort — 250,000 VND (about $10.90), riverside pool with lunch in the gardens
- Palm Garden Beach Resort & Spa — 230,000 VND (about $10), best for families with young kids
- Allegro Hoi An — 200,000 VND (about $8.70), Old Town location with a lap pool
- Sol An Bang Beach Resort & Spa — 120,000 VND (about $5.20), cheapest access in Hoi An

How much does a pool day pass in Hoi An cost?
A pool day in Hoi An costs 120,000 to 300,000 VND (about $5.20 to $13), roughly a third of what the same access runs in Phuket or Bali. The gap between hotels comes down to what's bundled in, not the pool itself.
| Hotel | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sol An Bang Beach Resort & Spa | 120,000 VND (about $5.20) | Cheapest access, 24-hour pool |
| Allegro Hoi An | 200,000 VND (about $8.70) | Old Town base, gym access |
| Palm Garden Beach Resort & Spa | 230,000 VND (about $10) | Families, kiddie pools |
| Anantara Hoi An Resort | 250,000 VND (about $10.90) | Riverside lunch and pool menu |
| Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa | 300,000 VND (about $13) | Biggest pool, private beach |
Can non-guests use hotel pools in Hoi An?
Yes, at the five resorts above, though it isn't advertised as widely as in bigger Southeast Asian beach destinations. Most Hoi An hotels with pools treat day use as an informal arrangement rather than a packaged product, so a phone call or an email before you arrive gets better results than searching the hotel's website for a "day pass" page.
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa and Palm Garden Beach Resort & Spa are the two most consistent about honoring the rate listed here.
Hotels without a confirmed day-pass policy, including Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai and La Siesta Hoi An Resort & Spa, may still let you in if you ask at the front desk and order food, but treat that as a maybe, not a booking.
Do I need to book a Hoi An pool day pass in advance?
Booking ahead isn't required at any of the five hotels, but it's worth doing anyway during peak season (March to August) and around Tet, when resort pools fill with overnight guests first. Call or email the resort the day before to confirm the rate is still running and to check if food and beverage minimums apply on the day you plan to visit.
Walk-ins are generally accepted at Sol An Bang Beach Resort & Spa and Allegro Hoi An, since both run smaller pools with lighter guest occupancy than the beachfront resorts.
Where to stay in Hoi An
Basing yourself in the Old Town puts you within walking distance of the lantern-lit riverfront, the tailor shops, and the night market, and it's the easiest option if you don't want to rely on taxis after dark. Hotel Royal Hoi An – MGallery by Sofitel sits right on the river with its own infinity pool and rooftop bar, while Little Hoi An Boutique Hotel is a short walk from the Japanese Bridge and blends traditional Vietnamese design with a more affordable rate.
If you'd rather trade the heritage streets for sand, An Bang Beach is about a 15-minute bike ride away and has a laid-back, boutique feel with good seafood shacks along the water. For a full splurge, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai sits just outside town with three infinity pools and its own stretch of beach, a good pick if you want resort-level comfort alongside the Old Town's culture.
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa
Victoria Hoi An sits on a quiet stretch of Cua Dai Beach, and the pool is the centerpiece of the property, framed by palms with the Cham Islands visible on a clear day. It's the largest pool of the five listed here and the only one with direct private beach access included in the pass.
Pool day pass (300,000 VND, about $13). Includes the main pool, sauna, steam bath, gym, and private beach access, with happy hour drink pricing from 6 to 8pm. Children under 5 get in free.
The resort also runs a Sunday brunch from 11:30am to 3pm that folds pool access into the meal price.
The pool day pass runs from 6am to 10pm. Confirm current pricing and availability before visiting, since the resort's own offers page doesn't always list the day-pass rate even when it's active.

Anantara Hoi An sits on the Thu Bon River in the Old Town, a short walk from the lantern-lit riverfront rather than out on the beach. The setting trades ocean views for a garden-and-river backdrop, and the pool day package is built around lunch as much as the water.
Pool day package (250,000 VND, about $10.90). Includes pool access and a choice of one dish from the pool menu at Reflections Pool Bar, served poolside or in the resort gardens overlooking the river. The pool bar operates from 10am to 6pm.
This is the only pass on this list centered on a dining credit rather than a flat entry fee, so it suits a lunch-plus-swim afternoon better than an all-day pool session.

Palm Garden Beach Resort & Spa
Palm Garden sits between Cua Dai Beach and more than 400 species of tropical plants across its grounds, and it's the most family-oriented pool on this list. Two large pools plus a dedicated toddlers' splash pool make it an easier day out with young kids than the adults-leaning resorts nearby.
Beach and pool day access (230,000 VND, about $10). Includes the main pools, kiddie pools, an outdoor jacuzzi, and beach access. Children under 5 get in free.
Lifeguards are on duty at the main pools during opening hours. Call ahead to confirm the current rate, since Palm Garden's day-use offer isn't listed on its own Spa & Recreation page.

Allegro Hoi An
Allegro Hoi An is the one boutique property on this list, set closer to the Old Town than the beachfront resorts. The pool is smaller than Victoria's or Palm Garden's but built long enough for proper lap swimming, which makes it the pick if you want exercise over lounging.
Pool and gym day access (200,000 VND, about $8.70 adults; 100,000 VND, about $4.35, for kids under 11; free under 5). Includes the pool, gym, and happy hour drink pricing from 5 to 7pm.
The pool day runs from 7am to 8pm. Contact the hotel by phone or email ahead of your visit to confirm availability.

Sol An Bang Beach Resort & Spa
Sol An Bang sits directly on An Bang Beach, under a canopy of casuarina trees a short drive from central Hoi An. It's the cheapest pass on this list by a wide margin, and the only one with round-the-clock pool access.
Pool day access (120,000 VND, about $5.20). Includes both the adult and kids' pools, plus sauna and steam room access.
Unlike the other four resorts, the pool area here operates 24 hours, so there's no fixed opening or closing time to plan around. Confirm the current rate directly with the resort before visiting, since the price wasn't listed on the hotel's own site at the time of research.

Frequently asked questions
Does Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai offer a pool day pass?
No confirmed day-pass product exists at The Nam Hai. It's an all-villa, ultra-luxury property, and like several other high-end Hoi An resorts, its pools are reserved for overnight guests. If you want a Four Seasons-tier experience for a day, this isn't currently one of the five options that will sell you one.
Are children allowed on Hoi An pool day passes?
Yes, at all five resorts. Palm Garden Beach Resort & Spa has the most kid-friendly setup, with dedicated splash pools alongside the main pool. Most properties, including Victoria and Allegro, let children under 5 in free, with a reduced rate for older kids at Allegro.
What should I bring to a Hoi An pool day?
Sun protection is essential, Hoi An sits close to the equator and the beachfront resorts offer little natural shade around the pool. Bring your own towel as a backup even where one is provided, cash in Vietnamese dong for any extras beyond the pass, and a printed or screenshotted confirmation of your booking if you arranged one by phone or email.
More pool day passes near Hoi An
Hoi An's day-pass scene is small, but Vietnam's coast has other beach towns worth pairing it with on a longer trip. For a bigger, better-documented day-pass market with a similar Southeast Asia beach setup, look at Krabi or Hua Hin in Thailand, both a short flight away.
The Vietnam country page rounds up pool access across the rest of the country as more cities go live.
