Top reasons why you should visit Nha Trang

Endless Beaches

Nha Trang's greatest lure is a sandy beach facing a stunning bay dotted with 19 islands and islets. Tran Phu Beach is packed daily with holidaymakers, soaking up the rays from countless sun loungers. All along the beach, watersports are key part of the fun, from para-sailing to kite surfing, paddle boarding to jet skiing. For an escape from the action, hop on a motorbike to Long Beach just out of town. Here you’ll find shallow turquoise waters and local restaurants serving just-caught seafood. For a day trip, drive 60km north of the city to Doc Let, one of the most picturesque stretches of coastline in all of Vietnam.

Seafood Feasts

Nha Trang is called the seafood capital of Vietnam for a reason. Teeming with marine life, the waters off the Khanh Hoa coast supply the fresh fish and shellfish that are the highlight of many a meal in Nha Trang. Between streetside eateries, restaurants, and upmarket hotels, there’s no chance of going hungry in Nha Trang. For more in-depth explorations of the city’s dining options, eat with the locals or splurge on five-star buffets at the hotels along the strip.

Mineral-rich Mud Baths

You can’t really come to Nha Trang and not spend a day at the mud baths. Nha Trang’s mineral-rich clay used is said to have therapeutic and skin healing benefits, including increased circulation and moisturisation. After being submerged in oozing, sticky mud, spring for a shower in cool waterfalls. Then, finish off with a refreshing dip in the hot mineral pools. If you’re feeling particularly indulgent, book a coffee massage or a chocolate body wrap. Of the three in the city, the most popular mud bath is at I-Resort, where you can extend your visit a huge water park with slides, pools and thrilling watersports. All in all, a fun-filled day for everyone.

Island Adventures

Be sure to save a day during your trip to get out into the bay and see the islands just off the coast. Hon Mun Island is Vietnam’s only protected marine reserve -- ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling. The aptly named Monkey Island houses more than a thousand resident primates; while Yen Sao Island is home to thousands of Salangane Swiftlets.

TIP: If you have time to explore, Yen Sao Island is a destination in itself, with sheer cliffs, inland forest and an inviting twin beach.
