Hello travel friends,

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to visit Hoi An for an event. Unsure of where to stay, I asked my friend for a recommendation, and they suggested the Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay at An Bang Beach, Hoi An.

I had previously dined at the Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay and loved the food, but I wasn’t aware that they also offered a home stay until my friend mentioned it. Although hesitant at first, I decided to give it a try after seeing some photos and realizing how close it was to the beach – just a short 5-minute walk. I’m glad I made that decision!

Upon arrival at the Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay, I was greeted by the owner, “Ly Na,” who was an absolute delight to speak with and incredibly accommodating. As I checked in, she brought me a refreshing lemon soda that instantly quenched my thirst.

One of the most delightful aspects of my stay at the Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay was the charming and inviting atmosphere of the property itself. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the lush greenery and the traditional Vietnamese architecture that surrounded me.

The exterior of the Purple Lantern Home Stay is a true oasis, with a beautifully landscaped garden that immediately puts you at ease. The vibrant flowers, towering trees, and the rustic wooden structures create a serene and peaceful environment that feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The outdoor seating area, complete with comfortable chairs and a quaint table, provides the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and soak in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Stepping inside the Purple Lantern Home Stay, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. The interior is tastefully decorated with a blend of traditional Vietnamese elements and modern comforts. The high ceilings, aged windows, and rustic wooden furniture give the space a genuine Old Town charm that transports you back in time. The room itself is spacious and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed that promises a restful night’s sleep.

One of the standout features of the Purple Lantern Home Stay is the attention to detail in every corner of the property. From the carefully selected decor to the thoughtful amenities, it’s evident that the owners have put a great deal of care and consideration into creating a memorable experience for their guests. The bathroom, in particular, deserves a special mention. With its sleek and modern design, it offers a refreshing contrast to the traditional elements of the room, while still maintaining a sense of harmony with the overall aesthetic.

Perhaps one of the most enchanting aspects of the Purple Lantern Home Stay is the delightful outdoor space that awaits just beyond the room. The hanging plants and the gentle sway of the curtains in the breeze create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere that beckons you to sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings.

Whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment of reflection on the balcony, savoring a delicious meal in the garden, or simply taking a leisurely stroll through the property, the Purple Lantern Home Stay offers a truly immersive and authentic Vietnamese experience.

The attention to detail, the warm hospitality, and the stunning natural beauty all combine to create a memorable and enchanting stay that will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and eager to return.

Conclusion and Thoughts

With high ceilings and aged windows and doors, it felt original and natural – a quality I greatly appreciated.

I must admit, I was a little concerned about the bed. However, as soon as I laid my head down, I fell into a deep sleep and took a 30-minute nap without any trouble.

Overall, the Purple Lantern offered a relaxing and peaceful getaway. While not directly on the beach, it was close enough to walk there with ease. The Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay thoughtfully provided beach towels, cool air conditioning, and a friendly staff to ensure a pleasant stay.

Speaking of the staff at the Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay, I must mention that they are actually the owner’s parents. At night, they even wheeled my motorbike inside so it wouldn’t be stolen from the street. (*Thank you, Ly, for going above and beyond!)

Although I only stayed at the Purple Lantern one night, I will definitely return to experience this wonderful location again when I need a getaway. The Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay has won me over with its charm and hospitality.

As a bonus, I’d like to share a note about the restaurant at the Purple Lantern. During this visit, I only had a small meal consisting of iced coffee and Goi Con. However, on my previous visit, I indulged in a larger vegetarian meal, and it was absolutely delicious both times. I would say its a bonus that the Purple Lantern offers an extra perk – an easy place to sleep and eat in style.

If you’re looking for a charming and relaxing stay near An Bang Beach in Hoi An, I highly recommend the Purple Lantern Restaurant and Home Stay.

I never got the puppy’s name, but he was cute. Hahaha.
