Waifaifo readies for October opening

HOI AN, 31 July 2024: Wafaifo Resort Hoi An, due to open on 11 October, has unveiled a range of food, drink, branding, and entertainment options to transform the dining scene in Vietnam’s UNESCO heritage city, Hoi An, which is located 29 km from Danang’s international airport.

The independent boutique resort will establish its “Own branding” and present its “TASTE by Wafaifo’’ theme acting as a mark of quality for Pedro Luis wines from Spain, Pilsner and IPA beers, fruit juices and Savall chocolates from nearby Danang. Locally sourced food and drinks with the “TASTE” branding will be available as takeaway options for delivery and for in-house diners.

“We aim to pleasantly surprise both international tourists and local residents with our unique mix of quality food and drink sensations and community happenings,” says Wafaifo’s Executive Chef Minh Nguyen.

Swim City

Much of the social activity at the resort will take place at the resort’s Swim City ‘entertain you’ activities zone. Guests and local residents can expect informal dining around the pool, DJ sounds, the Ra Khoi bar (with six draft beers, four craft), an eight-seat private cinema, televised sporting events and occasions, and a kids’ club with indoor and outdoor areas.

The covered alfresco terrace in front of the hotel is also expected to attract visitors from lunch to late night to enjoy Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Western and vegetarian bento platters while watching the water fountain show, which will be illuminated in the evenings.

The Bang Huu coffee outlet in the lobby has also been designed as an informal social hub and community meeting place.  

Menus without borders

The Xua & Nay urban bistro will feature menus without borders and be the lifestyle resort’s main dining outlet. It will offer dry-aged meats, fermentation techniques, a mixology bar, a DJ booth, a terrace view of the water fountain show, and a private dining table for personal meals arranged by Chef Minh.
