Tourexpi
Hyatt Regency Danang Resort and Spa is expanding its
offering for meetings, incentives, conferences and corporate retreats with a
stronger focus on activities outside traditional event spaces. Pickleball,
padel, tennis, mini golf and hands-on experiences at The Little Farm can now be
incorporated into group programmes at the resort on Vietnam’s central coast.
The concept responds to changing expectations in the
MICE market, where formal meetings are increasingly combined with recreation,
wellbeing and informal opportunities to connect. Instead of treating leisure
activities as an addition at the end of the programme, the resort is
positioning them as part of the overall event experience.
Pickleball, padel and tennis for corporate groups
The Courts provide facilities for pickleball, padel
and tennis. Companies can organise tournaments and team challenges or simply
include casual matches between meetings. The activities are designed for
different levels of experience and offer an informal setting for delegates to
interact away from conference tables.
A nine-hole mini golf course adds another option.
During the day, groups play amid tropical gardens close to the sea, while
illumination allows the course to be used after dark for networking events and
informal tournaments.
For more structured team-building, The Little Farm
offers outdoor activities centred on collaboration, creativity and
problem-solving. Together, the different formats give planners greater
flexibility when combining business sessions with social activities.
Event spaces accommodate up to 700 guests
The recreational programme complements an extensive
range of meeting and event facilities. The resort’s beachfront and outdoor
venue can accommodate up to 700 guests, while the Regency Ballroom has capacity
for as many as 400 people and can be used for conferences, executive meetings,
exhibitions and gala dinners.
Smaller events can be held in the Boardroom, Villa
Garden and several flexible function rooms. A dedicated MICE team assists
organisers with planning and implementation.
The resort’s restaurants can also be incorporated into
group programmes. Xanh House focuses on Vietnamese cuisine, while Osteria al
Mare serves Italian dishes. Other options include Vive Océane Beach Club &
Restaurant, Le Petit Chef and Terrasse.
49-acre resort between Da Nang and Hoi An
Hyatt Regency Danang Resort and Spa occupies 49 acres
along Non Nuoc Beach. It offers 199 guestrooms, 146 residences and 23 private
villas as well as five swimming pools and VIE Spa.
Its location also allows event programmes to extend
beyond the resort. The property lies between Da Nang and Hoi An, whose historic
old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making cultural excursions an option
for incentive and conference groups.
Additional incentives for event planners
The expanded activities form part of Hyatt’s Together
by Hyatt approach to meetings and events. The group is currently combining the
programme with its Asia Pacific Groups, Meetings & Events Offer 2026.
Depending on contracted revenue, qualifying events can
receive up to four benefits. These include rebates, suite upgrades,
complimentary meeting-room Wi-Fi, discounts on audiovisual services, wellbeing
experiences and additional World of Hyatt points.
Events must be booked and contracted by 31 December
2026 and take place by 31 March 2027 to qualify for the regional offer. For
events held between September 2026 and February 2027, Hyatt Regency Danang
Resort and Spa is offering an additional benefit through its separate Enjoy
Extra Perks promotion.
With the expanded programme, the resort is placing
greater emphasis on a MICE format in which meetings, sport, dining and informal
encounters are integrated into the same stay rather than organised as separate
elements.
