<p><span class="dropcap">L</span>ooking up from the golden sands of InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort’s private 700-meter beach to a blanket of rainforest in the early morning light, it is easy to forget you are only 15 minutes away from Vietnam’s booming and increasingly hectic coastal city of Da Nang.</p>
<p>This is the central coast’s most beautiful beach, just one attraction of this opulent 39-hectare property set amid the stunning Son Tra Peninsula Nature Reserve.</p>
<p>The four levels of the resort which flow down to the ocean are aptly named Heaven, Sky, Earth and Sea. This originator of central Vietnamese luxury hospitality is home to a vast array of rich biodiversity and wildlife (including the rare red-shanked douc langurs) while being only 90 minutes from the ancient delights of Hoi An, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, with its ancient port and renowned pastel yellow houses.</p>
<p>Anchored by jaw-dropping architecture and unique design notes paying homage to local cultural touchstones, InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort has firmly established itself at the pinnacle of Central Vietnam’s fine dining scene.</p>

<h2>What are the fine dining options at the resort?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.danang.intercontinental.com/dining/la-maison-1888/?DestinAsian">La Maison 1888</a>, the only central coast restaurant to have been awarded a Michelin star, has retained this honor for three consecutive years. The French dining experience is under the direction of Chef Christian Le Squer from Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris. His Vietnam-based protege Jean-Louis Angulo, who trained directly under him in Paris, brings his vision to life each evening with plates of fine Wagyu, grilled lobster and caviar and black truffle infused pasta.</p>
<p>The resort’s fine dining story continues just a stone’s throw away at <a href="https://www.danang.intercontinental.com/dining/tingara/?DestinAsian">Tingara</a>, or the “river of stars,” an elevated dining experience in the treetops conceived as a bird’s nest by legendary hotel designer Bill Bensley.</p>
<p>Here, the omakase and teppanyaki experiences were designed by Okinawan chef Junichi Yoshida, the chef behind Ishigaki Yoshida, the world’s first Michelin-starred teppanyaki restaurant in Tokyo.</p>
<p>Yoshida personally selects the finest produce and a plethora of other ingredients that make up the restaurant&#8217;s notable dishes, such as cherry blossom sea bream; Wagyu Yaeyama-Kyori Beef; Hokkaido scallops and snow crab that fill the menu.</p>
<p>Perched about 100 meters above the resort proper and housed in the Heaven level, Vietnamese all-day eatery <a href="https://www.danang.intercontinental.com/dining/citron/?DestinAsian">Citron’s</a> cantilevered tables take their design cues from Vietnam’s famous traditional conical hats that seemingly float above the rainforest below.</p>
<p>These Bensley designed <i>Non La Tables</i> are <b>“</b>Vietnam’s most famous tables,” where guests delight in afternoon tea, Hanoi pho, Hoi An chicken rice, and Saigon-style Banh Xeo. All backdropped by the caramel-toned beach and warm, emerald waters of the East Vietnam Sea below.</p>
