Holiday in Nha Trang

About Nha Trang

Nha Trang is Vietnam's most popular beach resort and the 'Riviera of Southeast Asia'. The lively coastal city on the southern central coast combines a beautiful city beach with an offshore island world, historical Cham temples, and a nightlife that ranks among the best in Vietnam. The seven-kilometer-long city beach with its palm-lined promenade is the heart of Nha Trang. The turquoise water is warm, the waves are gentle, and the infrastructure with sun loungers, bars, and restaurants directly on the sand is first-class. In the background, the green mountains of the coastal range rise — a panorama that sets the beach apart from many others in Southeast Asia. The offshore islands offer a break from the city beach. Hon Mun Island has the best snorkeling area in the region with colorful coral gardens and seahorses. VinWonders on Hon Tre Island is a huge amusement park with a water park, accessible via one of the longest over-water cable cars in the world. Monkey Island and Hon Tam offer quieter beaches for day trips. The Po Nagar Cham Towers from the 8th century are a fascinating relic of the Cham Kingdom, which once ruled the central Vietnamese coast. The Hindu temples on a hill above the Cai River mouth not only provide archaeological interest but also a wonderful view over the city and the bay. Nha Trang is also Vietnam's unofficial diving capital. Over 25 dive spots with coral reefs, underwater caves, and occasional whale shark sightings make the city an ideal place for obtaining a diving certification — PADI courses here are significantly cheaper than in Thailand or the Philippines. In the evenings, the beachfront promenade transforms into a party mile, and the famous mud baths (Mud Baths) of Thap Ba offer a unique relaxation experience.
