The Creative Stay

You don't need to call yourself an artist to stay here.

This is for anyone who wants to paint, draw, or simply make something, and has been looking for the right place to do it. Somewhere with good light, thoughtful materials, and no pressure to produce anything in particular.

It's also for people who are tired of trips where creativity gets squeezed into the margins. Here, it's the whole point. A fully equipped studio, open to you 24/7, with your room and breakfast taken care of. The only decision is what to make next.

A Day, Your Way

Maybe you're in the studio before breakfast, working while the light is still cool. Maybe you spend the morning out – at the beach, on a bicycle, wandering the old town – and return in the afternoon when you're ready to paint.

The studio is open to you 24/7 – so it's ready whenever you are, whether that's before sunrise or after midnight. You pick up where you left off, or begin something completely different. Our studio host is around if you want a fresh pair of eyes or to talk through an idea – and out of your way when you don't.

The Studio

The studio is fully equipped, open to you 24/7, and ready to use from the moment you arrive. Easels, tables, brushes, paints, charcoal, watercolour, pastels, coloured pencils – the shared materials are all there, included in your stay. No need to bring anything.

A small selection of premium materials – canvas panels, stretched canvases, custom-made stretched canvases and sketchbooks – are available to purchase if you need them.

Good to Know

Breakfast is included in your stay. A handful of coffee shops and local restaurants are within easy walking distance, and the beach is a short bicycle ride away with plenty of places to eat and drink.

Hoi An's old town is about ten minutes by motorbike or car, easy to reach by local taxi or motorbike. The area is full of craft workshops, local galleries, and makers – plenty to feed your creativity beyond the studio.

Da Nang International Airport is about 45 minutes away. If you need help with transportation, just let us know.

The Interlude welcomes adults and young adults aged 16 and above.

Food & Drinks

We serve breakfast each morning – a small menu of freshly prepared dishes, from Vietnamese pork meatballs with baguette to granola, eggs, and pastries. Free-flow water and tea are always available in the studio. If you'd like something more, drinks and light bites are available to purchase throughout the day.
