Da Nang Airport to Furama Resort: The Route

The standard route takes you through Da Nang city center via Nguyen Van Linh Street, then south along Vo Nguyen Giap Street (the main beach road) to the resort entrance. It is a single, straightforward road. No motorways, no confusing junctions.

Transfer Options from Da Nang Airport to Furama Resort

Grab (Recommended for Most Travelers)

Grab is the dominant ride-hailing app in Vietnam. It works exactly like Uber: open the app, confirm your pickup at the airport arrivals hall, and the fare is fixed upfront before you get in the car.

For the airport to Furama route, a Grab Car typically costs VND 80,000-120,000 (approximately USD 3.50-5.00). A Grab Car+ (larger vehicle, better condition) runs VND 150,000-200,000.

Why Grab wins for most travelers:

– Fixed price shown before you confirm

– No negotiation with drivers

– GPS tracking, so you are not dependent on the driver knowing the address

– Payment via card or cash

One practical note: the Grab pickup zone at Da Nang Airport is outside the terminal building. Walk through arrivals and exit the building before opening the app. If you open Grab inside the terminal, it will assign a pickup point in the wrong location.

Hotel Shuttle

Furama Resort offers an airport shuttle service. This is typically the most comfortable option and removes any uncertainty about navigation.

The shuttle needs to be pre-booked. Contact the resort directly before travel at reservation@furamavietnam.com or through your booking confirmation channel. Rates vary seasonally but generally run USD 15-25 per vehicle (not per person), which makes it cost-effective for two or more travelers.

The shuttle meets you at the arrivals hall with a name board. This is the better option for late-night arrivals, families with young children and heavy luggage, or first-time visitors to Vietnam who want a zero-stress arrival.

Standard Metered Taxi

Da Nang has licensed taxi operators, with Vinasun and Mai Linh being the two most reliable. These use meters. The fare for airport to Furama Resort should run VND 100,000-150,000 on the meter.

The challenge with taxis: at Da Nang Airport, there are unlicensed drivers who approach arrivals in the terminal offering fixed-price rides. These rates are typically 3-5x higher than either Grab or a metered taxi. Decline these. Walk to the official taxi queue outside the terminal for a metered cab.

How to identify a reliable Da Nang taxi:

– Vinasun: white cars with green and yellow stripe

– Mai Linh: green cars

– Always confirm the meter is running before the car moves

Private Transfer (Pre-Booked)

Several companies offer pre-booked private transfers. You pay in advance online and a driver meets you at arrivals with a sign. This eliminates both the hassle of the taxi queue and the requirement for mobile data to open Grab.

Costs for airport to Furama private transfer typically run USD 10-20 for a standard sedan, USD 20-35 for a minivan (useful for groups of 4-plus or travelers with significant luggage).

Booking through the resort directly or through a reputable booking platform is recommended. Avoid pre-booking through unofficial platforms contacted via social media.

Motorbike Taxi (Xe Om or GrabBike)

Available but not practical for most resort guests. Suitable for a solo traveler with minimal luggage who knows Da Nang. Not recommended for families, travelers with checked luggage, or anyone arriving at night.

Transfer Option Comparison

Option	Cost	Time	Convenience	Best For
Grab Car	USD 3.50-5.00	12-15 min	High	Solo, couples, tech-savvy travelers
Hotel Shuttle	USD 15-25/vehicle	15-20 min	Highest	Families, groups, late arrivals
Metered Taxi	USD 4.50-7.00	12-15 min	Medium	No smartphone, prefer cash
Private Transfer	USD 10-20	12-15 min	High	Groups, confirmed arrival time
GrabBike	USD 1.50-2.50	10-12 min	Low	Solo, minimal luggage only

What to Do When You Land

Da Nang International Airport has a single domestic terminal and a single international terminal. Both exits lead to the same arrivals area outside.

Step-by-step for Grab:

1. Exit the terminal building completely (go through the sliding doors to outside)

2. Connect to your mobile data or local SIM

3. Open Grab and set pickup to “Da Nang International Airport”

4. Confirm the fare before accepting

5. Wait at the designated Grab pickup zone (signposted)

Step-by-step for hotel shuttle:

1. Pre-book before departure (email reservation@furamavietnam.com or call the resort)

2. Look for your name board in the arrivals hall as you exit customs

3. Confirm with the driver and proceed to the vehicle

For metered taxi:

1. Exit the terminal and walk to the official taxi queue (there are signs)

2. Take the next car in the official queue only

3. Confirm the meter starts at zero before moving

Getting a Local SIM Card

If you are planning to use Grab, getting a local SIM card either at the airport or before you travel is strongly recommended. Da Nang Airport has Viettel and Vietnamobile SIM card counters in the arrivals area, typically open during peak arrival hours.

A tourist SIM with 3-7 days of data costs approximately VND 70,000-120,000 (USD 3-5). This covers Grab for your entire stay and is more practical than relying on roaming charges.

Is There a Free Shuttle from Furama?

Furama Resort does offer a complimentary shuttle in some booking packages and loyalty situations, but it is not universally free with every reservation. Confirm at the time of booking whether shuttle service is included or available at an additional charge.

Do not assume the shuttle is free. Check your booking confirmation or email the resort before travel.

Furama Resort Location Context

Furama sits at 103-105 Vo Nguyen Giap Street on My Khe Beach. The airport is north of the city; the resort is south. The route passes through Da Nang city center, which means traffic timing matters.

Traffic peaks in Da Nang between 7:00-8:30am and 5:00-6:30pm on weekdays. If your flight lands during these windows, build an extra 10 minutes into your transfer estimate.

On weekends and public holidays in peak season (July-August), beach road traffic on Vo Nguyen Giap can add 5-10 additional minutes as you approach the resort entrance.

For early-morning or late-night flights, traffic is light and 10 minutes is a reliable estimate.

Practical Tips for Your Arrival

Download Grab before you board your connecting flight to Da Nang. The app is available in both App Store and Google Play. Set up your payment method before landing.

Carry some Vietnamese dong (VND) for cash payment options. While Grab accepts cards, taxis and some shuttles prefer cash. VND 300,000-500,000 is sufficient for arrival day transport and small purchases.

Save the resort address in both English and Vietnamese:

– English: 103-105 Vo Nguyen Giap Street, Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang

– Vietnamese: 103-105 Vo Nguyen Giap, Quan Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang

Having the Vietnamese address visible to a driver removes any language barrier entirely.
