Son Tra

Quiet, green, near the peninsula

The calmer, greener side of the city, spreading north toward the Son Tra peninsula (Monkey Mountain). More space, more nature, and a slower pace, still within reach of the beach.

Da Nang abolished its district tier on 1 July 2025, so this name is now an area people use rather than an administrative one. Your lease and your residence registration will name the new ward instead — worth checking the paperwork matches the address.

Who it suits

People after quiet and greenery — outdoorsy types, and those who prefer a villa or house to a busy apartment block.

The feel

Spread out and residential, with jungle-covered hills dropping toward the coast. More villa-style, local-neighbourhood living than café strip.

Prices & value

A wide range: local apartments are good value, while newer sea-view villas near the peninsula sit at the top end.

Getting around

A motorbike is worth having here — things are further apart, but the beach and the city are both a short ride away.

Asked all the time

Do I need a motorbike in Son Tra?

Realistically yes — things are spread out, and the peninsula roads are half the point of living on this side.

Is Son Tra quiet?

The quietest of the beach-side districts: residential streets, fishing lanes and greenery, with the nightlife a ride away.

Are there villas and houses?

This is villa-and-house territory more than tower territory; newer sea-view builds near the peninsula sit at the top end.

What's on the peninsula itself?

A nature reserve with viewpoints and coastal roads — red-shanked douc langurs and macaques live there; ride slowly and don't feed them.
