Experience an Authentic Floating Homestay in Lan Ha Bay

Wake up surrounded by emerald waters, towering limestone islands, and the peaceful sounds of a traditional fishing village. Our Floating Homestay in Lan Ha Bay offers one of the most authentic accommodation experiences on Cat Ba Island, giving guests the rare opportunity to stay in the heart of the UNESCO Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve rather than simply cruising through it.

Unlike large overnight cruise boats, our family-owned floating guesthouse allows you to experience the rhythm of life on the bay. Watch spectacular sunrises from your private room, enjoy freshly prepared Vietnamese seafood, paddle directly from your doorstep into hidden lagoons, and experience genuine hospitality from local fishing families who have lived on these waters for generations.

Whether you’re joining one of our Lan Ha Bay kayaking tours, exploring Cat Ba National Park, or simply looking for a peaceful escape from the crowds of Ha Long Bay, our floating homestay provides the perfect base for an unforgettable island adventure.

Comfortable Waterfront Accommodation

Our boutique floating guesthouse features just six private guest rooms, creating an intimate and peaceful atmosphere unlike any hotel or large cruise ship.

Every room includes:

  • Private ensuite bathroom with hot shower
  • Comfortable beds with quality linens
  • Large windows overlooking Lan Ha Bay
  • Natural timber interiors inspired by traditional Vietnamese architecture
  • Equipped with air conditioning and solar-powered electricity
  • Peaceful waterfront views from sunrise to sunset

With only a handful of rooms, guests enjoy a quiet, personalised experience surrounded by the spectacular scenery of Lan Ha Bay.

Live Like a Local in a Floating Fishing Village

One of the most rewarding parts of staying at our floating homestay is experiencing everyday life in one of the last traditional floating fishing communities in Vietnam.

Watch local fishermen return with the day’s catch, visit nearby floating fish farms, learn about life on the water, or simply relax on the deck while watching boats drift between the limestone islands.

For many visitors, this authentic cultural experience becomes one of the highlights of their time in Cat Ba.
