Work with a Hoi An, Vietnam Rhythm
Coworking included with reliable internet.
The Vibe
Early mornings are for the market or a banh mi run before settling into the coworking space. Work until lunch, then cycle to the beach or explore the old town's alleyways. Afternoons bring more work or cultural wandering. Evenings mean lantern-lit streets, $1 bia hoi (fresh beer), and street food that's some of the best in the world.
Day trips to the Marble Mountains, motorbike rides to the My Son ruins, beach days at An Bang, or cooking classes learning to make cao lau and white rose dumplings.
Living in Hoi An, Vietnam
Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage town on Vietnam's central coast — a trading port that peaked in the 15th-18th centuries and has been beautifully preserved since. The old town is a grid of wooden shophouses, Japanese bridges, Chinese temples, and French colonial buildings, all lit by silk lanterns at night. It's genuinely one of the most beautiful small towns in Asia.
Beyond the old town, Hoi An is a cycling paradise. Flat roads lead through rice paddies, past water buffalo, and out to An Bang Beach (4km). The food is extraordinary and specific to central Vietnam: cao lau (thick noodles in pork broth), white rose dumplings, mi quang (turmeric noodle soup), and banh mi that's widely considered the best in the country. A full meal at a local place costs 30,000-60,000 VND ($1.20-2.40).
For nomads, Hoi An offers extreme affordability, cultural richness, and a pace that encourages focus. The cafe scene is excellent (Vietnamese coffee culture is serious), internet has improved dramatically, and the town is small enough that you can't get lost. Da Nang, with its airport and city amenities, is 30 minutes north.

Common Questions
What's the WiFi like?
100 Mbps — strong by Vietnamese standards. Vietnam's internet has improved massively in recent years. Good enough for video calls and daily remote work.
What's included in the price?
Accommodation, coworking access, and communal areas. Meals are not included but eating out is so cheap ($1-3 per meal) that cooking barely makes sense.
How do I get there?
Fly to Da Nang (DAD) — domestic flights from Hanoi/HCMC, plus international connections. Taxi or Grab to Hoi An takes 30 minutes and costs about $6.
Do I need a visa?
Many nationalities get visa-free entry for 15-45 days. For longer stays, an e-visa (90 days) is available for most passports. Check before booking.
Is Hoi An too touristy?
The old town gets busy during the day (especially around the Japanese Bridge), but living here as a resident is completely different from visiting as a tourist. The local streets, markets, and cafes are calm and authentic.
