Discover the Best Family-Friendly Places in Hoi An, Vietnam

As a family residing in the beautiful town of Hoi An, Vietnam, we understand the struggle of finding suitable places to play with our kids. Especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, many blogs and online sources have outdated information, with several restaurants being closed or undergoing name changes.

Having lived here for three years, we have compiled a list of the best coffee shops and restaurants with playgrounds for children in Hoi An, Vietnam, which we hope will save you time and effort.

Coffee

Eco Coffee

Eco Coffee is undoubtedly our favorite coffee shop in Hoi An when it comes to providing playgrounds for kids. Unlike other venues, this place boasts a spacious and natural environment, specifically designed for children aged one to ten. It offers a safe and enjoyable space for kids to engage in playful activities while you enjoy your coffee and unwind.

The best time to come depends on you as on the weekdays, not so many people visit this place so your kid will have more space to play while on the weekends, all desks are occupied by guests.

On select weekends, Eco Coffee may organize flea markets that are specifically dedicated to kids. These events can be a fantastic opportunity for children to engage in fun activities, interact with other kids, and explore various vendors selling children’s products or services. Keep an eye out for announcements or updates from Eco Coffee regarding these flea markets.

Restaurant

Red Bean Hoian Restaurant 

When it comes to family-friendly restaurants in Hoi An, Red Bean Hoi An Restaurant always stands out as an excellent choice. This Vietnamese-style restaurant is situated within the luxurious 5-star resort, Lasiesta Hoi An Resort. Not only does it serve delicious cuisine, but it also features a warm and cozy interior design that reflects the local culture, making it an ideal dining option for families.

The restaurant provides a vast playground for kids and two large swimming pools. Even if you’re not staying at the resort, spending half a day with your family here is truly worthwhile.

Beachside

To be honest, when it comes to the beachside, any place can be a great option for kids during the summer. Sometimes, you don’t even need a restaurant as the beach itself provides ample entertainment for children. Even though we visit the beach almost every day, our kids never seem to get enough of it.

While there are a few dedicated kids’ playgrounds in Hoi An with various toys, we don’t often take our children there. As we are in Hoi An, we believe it’s best to embrace and enjoy the natural surroundings rather than seeking out experiences similar to those found in urban areas.

We hope this curated list of the best coffee shops and family-friendly restaurants with playgrounds in Hoi An, Vietnam, will help you make the most of your time with your kids in this beautiful town. Whether you choose to relax at Eco Coffee, indulge in the warm ambiance of Red Bean Hoi An Restaurant, or explore the pristine beaches, Hoi An offers a wealth of opportunities for family enjoyment and unforgettable memories.
