Where to Stay on Cham Island Vietnam?

Note: Visitors must check the weather forecast carefully in advance if want to stay overnight on Cham Island, for both arrival and return days. Our recommendation is selecting the day(s) in the middle of the best season to make sure that everything is still in the plan.

If possible, please ask the homestay or a travel agency or anyone who live on the island to know the exact accessible days and inaccessible days.

If do not check the weather forecast, you may be stuck on Cham Island and have to cancel activities or flights on the other day(s). 

Today, there are some thousands of visitors coming to Cham Islands. It’s still possible to find an accommodation to spend the night like homestay, hotel, hostels (homestays are most popular). Looking for the luxury hotel to have an escape? You may need to come back next time to book one because of no resort opened yet at the present (2026).

To book an accommodation on Cham Islands, visitors can use global platforms just like anywhere or contact directly with the owners of the homestay/hotel if want to make sure that they receive the reservation. How to pay? We recommend paying by card in advance if possible. However, when the total payment is small, go for cash if the locals want it. Once again, there is no ATM on Cham Island, so please bring cash VND with you from the city.
