Hoi An is a famous tourist destination because of several reasons: beautiful beaches, good food, friendly locals, nice weather, affordable accommodations, just to name a few. It’s no wonder then that aside from being a temporary vacation getaway, retirees, Vietnamese and Westerners alike, are also seeing it as an ideal place to settle permanently.

Migrants from HCMC and Hanoi are slowly transferring to quiet Hoi An to finally escape from the noisy and stressful city life. With a recently-opened international school and an international airport in nearby Danang, they can enjoy the conveniences of modernity with the simple lifestyle of a province.

In the same way, Westerners are also realizing the advantages and beauty of retiring in Hoi An. First of all, the cost of living is much cheaper compared to living in any area in the West. For instance, at even less than US$1,000 per month, a couple can already live a comfortable life which includes rent and even some luxury.

Moreover, everything else that retirees need to live a decent life can be found in Hoi An: unspoiled beaches and nature in general, great food, warm locals, pleasant weather and affordable housing. Good hospitals are also available. Even more housing complexes, homestays and hotels are being erected to cater to the rising demands of both domestic and foreign visitors. When it comes to food, Hoi An is known for its superior local delicacies and international menu.

For retirees who need a peaceful but comfortable settlement, Hoi An is definitely an excellent choice.
