Son Tra Da Nang Apartments — Area Guide & Properties

Area Overview

Son Tra is a peninsula district northeast of Da Nang city, dominated by the 1,065-hectare Son Tra Nature Reserve (Monkey Mountain), which protects a substantial area of tropical forest and is home to the rare red-shanked douc langur. The peninsula curves around the northeastern edge of Da Nang Bay, providing some of the most dramatic sea views in the city. It is home to the Intercontinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort — one of Vietnam's most luxurious resorts and frequently ranked among Asia's best. Residential apartment supply on the peninsula is limited compared to My Khe or My An.

Lifestyle & Daily Life

Son Tra offers a more secluded lifestyle than the main beach strip. The nature reserve provides hiking trails, sunrise viewing points and wildlife encounters (red-shanked douc langurs can be spotted roadside). The Lady Buddha statue (Linh Ung Pagoda) at the southern tip of the peninsula is a major landmark. My Khe and the city centre are 15–25 minutes away by motorbike. The area attracts buyers seeking peace, dramatic views and exclusivity over urban convenience.
