Vietnam: Top 8 resorts in the country

What you need to know about Vietnam's resorts

• Vietnam is not just a "budget destination" with cheaper but attractive beach resorts and excellent diving bays. It is a country with a rich culture and exotic attractions: high-altitude rice terraces, ancient temples, unique fortresses, pearl plantations, and the largest cave on the planet.
• Vietnam has many beautiful beaches, and the waters of the South China Sea are yellow in color, not because of pollution, but because of natural features. The water here is warm almost all year round, sometimes reaching temperatures of up to +27°C.
• While vacationing at Vietnam's seaside resorts, you can discover kitesurfing and other water activities, as well as go boating.
• The climate in southern and central Vietnam is tropical monsoon. In the northern part, the climate is close to subtropical, and it is cool there in winter. There are dry and rainy seasons. From mid-October to the end of December, typhoons often hit the coast.
• The local currency is the Vietnamese dong. The minimum denomination of a banknote is 500 dong.
• Most tourists arrive in Vietnam by air. The country has two international airports: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. It is better to fly to Hanoi if you are interested in northern Vietnam, and to Ho Chi Minh City if you want to visit the south.

Nha Trang

This resort rightfully ranks first among Vietnamese resorts. It is located in the central part of the country and has a large number of beautiful beaches. The entertainment industry here is at a high level—restaurants, discos, amusement parks, and attractions will not give you the slightest chance to get bored.

The sea off the coast of Nha Trang is clean and the water is clear, making these places ideal for diving. Some of the resort's beaches, where there are high waves and strong currents, attract enthusiasts of other water sports such as wakeboarding, parasailing, and wakesurfing.

Hoi An

Hoi An is not only a popular resort, but also an important historical center. From the 17th to the 19th century, it was home to one of the largest ports in Southeast Asia, called Faifo. The central part of Hoi An, with its ancient houses, temples, and bridges, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

An indescribable spirit hides in these narrow streets, curved roofs, bright signs, and small temples. Bridges and corners, glowing evening lanterns give Hoi An the appearance of a fairy-tale town. There are also saltwater expanses, which means beaches, diving, yacht trips, and romantic evenings by the water.

Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc, Vietnam's largest island located in the Gulf of Thailand, has its own airport, attracting many travelers.

The combination of wild jungles and azure seas captivates tourists. They choose Phu Quoc for its beautiful beaches, rich excursion program, and wide range of entertainment options. You can go on a tour to the mountains or jungle, visit a pearl museum, or go fishing for crabs and squid. Diving lessons and snorkeling equipment are reasonably priced here. There are many cafes and bars to suit all tastes.

Da Nang

Da Nang is another popular seaside resort in Vietnam, renowned for its exceptionally clean and soft sand. It is home to the famous China Beach, which attracts tourists from all over the world. Da Nang is also the country's economic center, with all the characteristics of a metropolis.

Beaches occupy a special place in Danang. The best of the best is undoubtedly China Beach, which we have already mentioned. This is where the international surfing championship is held. We also recommend visiting the Marble Mountains in Da Nang, the Cham Museum, and the Linh Ung and Tam Thai pagodas, where unique Buddha statues are located.

Vung Tau

Vung Tau proudly bears the name "Vietnamese Riviera" and is located 128 km from Ho Chi Minh City. It is a resort with developed infrastructure, its coastal strip is densely built up with villas that were once home to the elite and have since been converted into restaurants and guesthouses.

The largest and most popular beaches on the peninsula are Silk Beach, Front Beach, and Back Beach. Also noteworthy is the small rocky beach with the beautiful French name Roche Noire.

Phan Thiết and Mui Ne

These two resorts, located in the south of the country, are usually considered together, as they are 20 km apart. There are many surfing and kiteboarding schools here, which attract young people who enjoy active recreation.

The tourist area is located along the coast, so hotels are mainly located on the beachfront. When you leave the hotel, you will find yourself on a white sandy beach, surrounded by the luxurious sea. All the necessary infrastructure for tourists has been created and is actively developing here, but there are still few nightlife establishments. This place is ideal for those who love a quiet, peaceful vacation.

Cam Ranh

Cam Ranh is located in central Vietnam, not far from Nha Trang. The resort is known for its wide beaches with white sand and clear water. It is quieter and more peaceful here than in popular tourist centers.

In recent years, new hotels with their own beaches have appeared on the coast. Most of them have spacious grounds and offer accommodation in rooms or separate villas. Cam Ranh is chosen for a leisurely beach holiday, including families with children and those who prefer a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Halong

Halong is an attractive vacation destination with its sandy beaches, numerous hotels, luxury accommodations, clubs, and restaurants. Although the resort is built on an artificial dam, it attracts many tourists every year. Halong has a very mild and warm climate, and its beaches are well equipped and suitable for the whole family.

If you choose Halong for your vacation, it would be a good idea to book a cruise around the bay – you will be treated to magnificent views of the islands. Also, while in Halong, it would be a sin not to visit Cat Ba Island. Its territory is covered with forests, and its shores are dotted with mangrove bushes. In addition, the island has many beaches, including Hong Soailon, Hong Soaibe, and Kai Veng.
