A monthly villa rental in Hoi An is one of the best-kept secrets in Vietnam. Remote workers, families on a sabbatical, and snowbirds escaping the cold all do it: rent a private villa with a pool for a month or more, a short walk from the beach, for far less per night than you would pay for a week. I host these long stays myself, so here is how a monthly villa rental in Hoi An actually works, what it costs, and who it suits.
Why rent a villa by the month
For a stay of a month or more, a private villa beats a hotel or a serviced apartment on every count. You get a whole house, a kitchen, a private pool, and quiet space to actually live, not just sleep. The nightly rate drops a lot for longer bookings, so a month in a villa can cost less per night than a few nights in a decent hotel. And you settle into a routine: a swim before work, the market for breakfast, the old town at night.
Who a long stay suits
- Remote workers and digital nomads: fast wifi, a desk, a pool to clear your head between calls.
- Families on a break: space for everyone, a kitchen, and a safe base near the beach for a slower few months.
- Snowbirds: swap a cold winter for warm mornings and a private pool.
- Anyone testing out life in Hoi An before committing longer.
What a monthly stay includes
With us, a long stay comes with the whole villa: bedrooms, a full kitchen, the private pool, wifi, and a weekly clean. We sort the practical stuff that trips up long-stayers, like a local SIM, where to buy groceries, and how to get around. You are not handed keys and left alone. You get a host who lives here and answers when you need something.
How monthly rates work
I will be honest about pricing because long stays are quoted, not fixed. The longer you book, the lower the nightly rate, and a month gets a much better deal than a week. Rather than post a number that changes with the season, message me with your dates and group size and I will send a straight monthly quote. Booking direct also saves you about 7% versus the listing sites, which adds up fast over a month.
Living in Hoi An for a month
Life here is easy to settle into. The markets are cheap and fresh, cafes have good wifi, and a bicycle gets you to the beach or the old town in minutes. The pace is slow, the people are warm, and there is a real community of long-stayers if you want it. For the rhythm of the place, read our where to stay in Hoi An guide, and time your arrival with the best time to visit.
Best villas for a long stay
For a couple or a small family, a Hola villa (three bedrooms, private pool, three minutes to Cua Dai Beach) is the sweet spot. For a bigger group or a family who wants more room over a long stay, the 4-bedroom Manor works well. Both give you space to live, not just visit. To compare them, see our guide to the booking a villa in Hoi An.
How to arrange a monthly stay
It is simple: message me on WhatsApp with your dates, how many people, and what you need (a desk, a crib, monthly cleaning). I send a monthly rate and a secure way to pay, and we sort the local details before you arrive. No platform account, no middleman.

I was born in Hoi An and still live here, so I would not call myself an expert, just a local who knows this stretch of Central Vietnam because it is home. For the last few years I have spent most of my time helping visitors make the most of it: where to stay, where to eat that locals actually eat, and the parts of Hoi An, Da Nang, and Hue worth your time. I host a few villas myself, so what I write comes from real guests, not a guidebook. If a place is not worth it, I will say so.
