Overview

Often referred to as the Riviera of the South China Sea, Nha Trang has miles of beautiful white, sandy beaches with a backdrop of mountains hugging the coastline and more than 19 islands just offshore. Nha Trang’s clear aqua waters, abundant marine life and colourful coral reefs make scuba diving and snorkeling among a few of the very popular water sports as well as many types of boat trips available to explore the surrounding islands. Few cities in Vietnam rival Nha Trang for the sheer scope of choices when it comes to hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and nightlife to suit all tastes and budgets.

 

Nha Trang is located about 450km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City in the south of Vietnam. It has an airport with daily flights from all major cities, and it’s also easy to travel there by either bus or train from Ho Chi Minh City. From the north, it is also possible to catch a bus or train from Da Nang. With its status as Vietnam’s most popular seaside retreat, comes a big choice of hotels, restaurants and activities – something for everyone.
