Discover Coconut Village with Shore Club
Introduction
Just five kilometers southeast of Hội An Ancient Town, Coconut Village (Cẩm Thanh) also called the Bay Mau Water Coconut Forest is a tranquil eco-paradise of rivers, nipa palms, and timeless traditions. More than a scenic retreat, it blends nature, history, and culture, giving visitors a true taste of Hội An beyond its lantern lit streets.
The Shore Club is the perfect starting point for this journey. Located only a short drive (around 10 minutes) from Cẩm Thanh, it offers the comfort, convenience, and coastal charm to make your Coconut Village adventure unforgettable.
What is Coconut Village?
Far from the bustle of the Ancient Town, Coconut Village (Cẩm Thanh) welcomes travelers with the calm rhythm of waterways and the shade of endless palm groves. Life here flows gently, where basket boats glide quietly between green walls of nipa palms and the sounds of nature replace the noise of the city. It is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and discover a more authentic side of Hoi An.
What makes this village remarkable is the harmony between people and the environment. Families have lived beside the palms for generations, relying on the forest for both livelihood and protection. Today, visitors are invited to share in that bond—learning local skills, joining eco-friendly tours, and supporting a community that values sustainability as much as hospitality.
