Sleep on calm waters with big views, fresh seafood & endless kayaking
Most people visit Lan Ha Bay by boat for a few hours — but here, you actually get to live on the bay. This floating homestay isn’t just a place to sleep; it’s an experience in itself. Set right on the tranquil emerald waters, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, you’ll wake up to the gentle sound of water lapping below your bed. It’s peaceful, magical, and worlds away from the usual tourist trail.What makes this stay so special is the perfect blend of nature and comfort. The homestay is surprisingly cosy — think spacious rooms with air-con, comfy beds, and sunset views from your window. You’ll have all-day access to kayaks and SUP boards to explore the bay on your own, plus a lovely deck where you can relax with a coffee or fresh fruit and just take it all in. And the food? Incredible. Shared family-style meals made with super fresh ingredients — including seafood caught and farmed right off the homestay.This is perfect for couples looking for something romantic, solo travellers wanting to unplug, or anyone after a slower, more meaningful way to experience Lan Ha Bay. It feels like staying at a friend’s floating home — only your backyard is one of Vietnam’s most beautiful hidden bays.What to ExpectStay on a floating homestay in the middle of Lan Ha Bay — you’re actually living on the waterComfortable, air-conditioned rooms with private feels and stunning viewsUnlimited kayaking and paddleboarding — explore nearby caves, cliffs, and floating villages at your own paceFamily-style meals with fresh seafood and local dishes, served on a floating deckFull-day boat tour to explore attractions like Dark & Light Caves, Monkey Island, and Ba Trai Dao BeachPlenty of time to relax, soak in the view, and enjoy the slower rhythm of life on the bayGood to KnowLan Ha Bay entrance fee (120,000 VND per person) not included – please bring cashPick-up and drop-off at Ben Beo Harbour included – contact the host 30–60 mins before arrival for the boat pick-upCheck-in from 2:00PM – you can relax on deck with tea and fruit if you arrive earlyHosts use Google Translate — super friendly, and communication is easyYou'll share the full-day boat tour with a group of 40-50 paxAmenities/facilitiesFloating homestay surrounded by nature and calm bay watersSpacious rooms with air-conditioning, fans and comfortable bedsUnlimited use of kayaks and SUP boardsDeck area with loungers, perfect for sunset views and relaxingFreshly prepared family meals with local seafood and vegetarian optionsFree tea, coffee, drinking water, and fresh fruits throughout the stayShared kitchen with cooking equipment, if you’d like to DIY a mealFree Wi-Fi on the floating house, but the signal strength may not be very strong.

Meet your host
Thang is the kind of host who’s quietly shaping the spirit of Cat Ba. Since 2023, he and his team has been running a floating homestay in Lan Ha Bay, and by 2025, they’d added a second one, turning it into a little community on the water. Guests aren’t just staying overnight; they’re sharing meals, slowing down, and waking up to bay views that feel like a dream. Thang doesn’t stop there — he’s also behind a few cosy spots in town where locals and travellers mingle over good food. Whether you’re out on the bay or wandering Cat Ba’s streets, chances are Thang’s thoughtful touch is somewhere nearby.
