Nha Trang

Pristine Beaches • Vibrant Nightlife • Underwater Adventures

Perfect for beach lovers, night owls and thrillseekers, Nha Trang is one of the most happening spots on Vietnam’s coastline. The strong Korean influence gives it an eclectic feel with interesting shops and restaurants dotted around the small laneways off the main tourist strip and its growing popularity for snorkelling, diving and nightlife attracts plenty of backpackers as they travel up and down the coast : so if you’re after some sun, fun and adventure, you may have met your match.

Why visit Nha Trang?

Nha Trang is known for its almost year long perfect weather, gorgeous beaches, happening nightlife and its cultural attractions. Located on Vietnam's south-central coast, it’s a prime stopover for those travelling between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi – and indeed, many tourists only stop for a few hours while they wait for their connecting bus.

However, stick around for a bit longer and you’ll get to enjoy gorgeous golden sand beaches, clear blue water and plenty of snorkelling/diving opportunities around the coral reefs of Hon Mun Island. There’s plenty of watersports available ontop of the sea, too!

Plus, if you’ve been to the Vinpearl Land south of Hoi An, you’ll love Nha Trang’s version. The resort complex is on an island just off the coast of Nha Trang (you can reach it by cable car for added thrills!) With an amusement park, a waterpark and an aquarium, it’s a great choice for families.

Once you’ve had your beach and watersports fix, check out the Po Nagar Cham Towers: ancient Hindu temples, where you can explore intricate carvings and learn about the Cham civilization that were home to ancient Nha Trang.

End your day with a beachside cocktail and wandering for fresh seafood at Nha Trang Night Market. There’s some great stalls here for buying decent beach clothes (and large-sized shoes!), plus outerwear that may come in handy for the rest of your trip. And if you’re a fan of Croc shoes, there is an abundance of these on offer, being the favoured footwear of the Koreans.  Nha Trang offers an ideal location for excellent weather and a distinctively friendly vibe for a memorable holiday inclusion.

Nha Trang Accommodation

In terms of where to stay, Nha Trang accommodation tends to be pretty high-end, but great value. From luxury resorts on the beach, to modern boutique hotels in town, it’s your chance to pamper yourself for a few days at a price that’s hard to beat.

If you’d rather be close to the nightlife and the market, you might want to stay close to Nha Trang beach. Whereas if you’re looking to escape it all, there are some incredible 5-star beach resorts away from the city center with unbelievably great price tags. Our local travel team knows Nha Trang inside out – and we can arrange the best place for you to stay depending on the type of accommodation you’d like, and what you can afford.
