Nha Trang is Vietnam's riviera: a six-kilometre crescent of city beach backed by a palm-lined promenade, a bay dotted with islands, and a skyline of beachfront hotels that has earned it comparisons with Rio and the Gold Coast. It's the most developed beach city in the country and the most fun — seafood restaurants, a lively evening scene, and boat trips leaving from the harbour every morning.
Half an hour south, Cam Ranh Bay is the quiet, luxurious counterpoint. Along the Bai Dai coast beside the airport, a chain of large five-star resorts occupies a long, empty beach with nothing behind it but dunes — private, self-contained and very much about the pool villa and the spa. Stay in Cam Ranh for seclusion, drop into Nha Trang for a night out, or split the week between them.
The bay is the playground: island-hopping and snorkelling around Hon Mun's marine reserve, mud baths at the Thap Ba hot springs, the Po Nagar Cham towers, and the cable car across to Hon Tre island's amusement park. Da Lat's cool highlands, pine forests and French villas are a scenic three-hour drive inland and a natural add-on.
Nha Trang runs on its own calendar — drier than the rest of the country for most of the year, with the best beach weather from February to September and a short, sharp wet season in October and November.

See this week's live dealsCam Ranh International Airport receives direct flights from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Seoul, and hourly domestic flights from Ho Chi Minh City (Jetstar's direct Australian gateway) and Hanoi. The Cam Ranh resorts are 10–15 minutes from the airport; Nha Trang city is about 40 minutes. Our deals will typically include the transfer.
February to September is the long dry season, with the calmest seas from May to August. The wet season is short — mainly October and November — but intense, with the occasional storm. Nha Trang is one of the sunniest places in Vietnam, and a good choice when the central coast is in its rainy months.
Nha Trang for beach-city energy — restaurants, bars, boat trips from the harbour and a promenade to stroll. Cam Ranh for large luxury resorts on a quiet beach with pool villas and spas, closer to the airport. Many travellers do a few nights in each, or base at Cam Ranh and taxi in for evenings.
Yes. The Cam Ranh resorts are especially family-friendly with big pools, kids' clubs and a private beach, while Nha Trang offers the VinWonders amusement park on Hon Tre, mud baths, boat trips and the aquarium. The beach is generally calm in the dry season.
Island-hopping and snorkelling around Hon Mun and the bay's islands, the Thap Ba mud baths, the Po Nagar Cham towers, and Ba Ho waterfalls. Da Lat, the cool mountain town of pine forests and French villas, is about three hours inland and worth an overnight if you have the time.
