The VLX accommodation

This is the venue where our Welcome dance (on Friday night) as well as our Gala (Saturday night) and Farewell (Sunday night) dinners with live band and dancing will take place, and also where most dancers will choose to stay. Although it is the most convenient place for the VLX, the number of rooms is limited. There are other beautiful options in the area if you prefer another resort or if the hotel is full, there is no obligation to stay at our event venue.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
There is limited room in the hotel.
1- The hotel is for dancers only
2- You have to stay for 3 nights (Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights)
You can extend your stay at the VLX discounted price if available.

SHINING RIVERSIDE HOI AN BOUTIQUE & SPA

191 Trần Nhân Tông, Cam Chau, Hoi An, Vietnam

Most of our dances will happen at Shining Riverside, our chosen VLX hotel, but Hoi An is full of beautiful boutique accommodation for all wallets, around the Ancient Town. Do note that although we are a 5 minutes scooter or 10 minutes bicycle ride away from the Ancient Town, it's a long walk if you chose to stay on foot.
