10 "chic" check-in spots in Hoi An that not everyone knows about.

This article will reveal 10 amazing check-in spots, from cafes with stunning views to hidden architectural corners, helping your photos stand out among the crowds flocking to the Old Quarter.

Faifo Roof Cafe - Panoramic view of the old town from above.

Nestled quietly on the rooftop of an old house, Faifo Roof offers the most panoramic view of Hoi An with its closely spaced reddish-brown tiled roofs. The airy space, rustic bamboo decor, and casually arranged wooden chairs create a truly chic and sophisticated setting.

The best time is at sunset when the lanterns begin to light up; all you need is an iced coffee (35,000 VND) as a prop to create a photo shoot that will get millions of likes.

Tan Ky Old House - The perfect backdrop for authentic vintage-style "Instagrammable" photos.

While most visitors simply stop by and leave, few realize that this 200-year-old house hides countless exquisite photo opportunities. The old wooden staircase with its intricate carvings, the small courtyard bathed in sunlight streaming through the louvered windows, or the exposed brick wall covered in vines—all provide the perfect backdrop for retro photos. Remember to choose minimalist attire to complement the classic ambiance.

Museum of Folklore: The hallway corner that everyone adores

Ignoring the exhibition halls, head to the museum's second-floor corridor. The row of saffron-yellow arched doorways, the hanging red lanterns, and the natural light streaming through the windows create a magical, period-like atmosphere.

This spot is especially suitable for flowing long dresses or traditional ao dai. A little tip is to come at midday when the sunlight shines directly, creating artistic shadow effects.

The Deckhouse Cafe: A "marina" in the heart of the old town.

Nestled on the banks of the Hoai River, this cafe boasts a European style with a wooden balcony overlooking the water. The white spiral staircase, elegantly arranged wooden tables and chairs, and lush green potted plants create the feeling of being in a high-end resort.

Don't miss the small pier area – where you can sit with your feet dangling in the water, strike a pose with your conical hat and a basket boat drifting lazily in the distance.

The small alley near the Japanese Bridge: A street corner with a distinctly Hoi An feel.

One hundred meters from the Japanese Bridge lies a quiet alleyway, where faded yellow walls are adorned with vibrant bougainvillea pots. This little corner is the most authentic version of Hoi An – peaceful, simple, yet incredibly charming.

Try posing naturally, like you're taking a stroll or leaning against a wall with a conical hat; the photo will capture the essence of the old town without being repetitive.

Morning Glory Signature Cafe: "Instagrammable" garden

The hidden garden behind this restaurant is a little-known paradise for Instagrammable photos. Giant lanterns hanging under the green trees, wooden tables and chairs set amidst the grass, and a small pond reflecting the trees create an irresistible, dreamy scene.

This is an ideal spot for group photos in brightly colored outfits, especially beautiful in the late afternoon when the lights start to come on.

Rehahn Art Space: A "pristine white" museum

This photography museum has a really cool corner – a pristine white room with an old bicycle and large windows that let in natural light. The neutral color tone makes your photos look sophisticated and have depth, even when using just your phone.

Don't forget to check out the white spiral staircase corner – a great spot for taking stunning architectural photos.

Mot Restaurant in Hoi An: Rooftop corner with a "million-dollar view"

Climbing to the top floor of this small cafe, you'll be overwhelmed by the panoramic view of the Hoai River and the ancient rooftops. Pastel-colored umbrellas, comfortable floor seating, and corners covered in greenery transform this place into an ideal outdoor studio. The best time is around 4-5 pm when the golden sunlight bathes the old town.

Hoi An Market: A colorful glimpse into everyday life.

In contrast to the tranquil atmosphere of the old town, the early morning market offers a vibrant setting with stalls displaying bright fresh flowers, colorful street vendors, and sunlight filtering through the corrugated iron roofs, creating a stunning lighting effect.

Try posing with the old lady selling vegetables or secretly capturing moments of the vendors laughing and joking – these photos will tell the most authentic story of Hoi An.

An Bang Beach: A "virtual resort" just 5km from the Old Town.

Few people know that just a 15-minute drive from the city center, you'll find a picturesque beach with swaying palm trees, white sun loungers, and crystal-clear water.

Unlike crowded beaches, An Bang boasts a peaceful beauty with stylish photo spots alongside colorful basket boats. Visit early in the morning for a truly influencer-worthy "alone by the sea" photo.

Hoi An still has countless beautiful spots waiting to be discovered beyond the familiar destinations. From ancient architecture to modern spaces blended with tradition, these 10 locations will help make your photos completely unique.

Most importantly, embrace the spirit of "slow travel"—take your time to appreciate and fully experience the hidden beauty of the old town.
