Vietnam beach vacation: Vietnam’s beaches are surprisingly overlooked but, because of it, quiet and relatively untouched. The coastline sweeps in a 3,000km S-shape from China in the north to Cambodia in the south. It passes through three different micro-climates along the way, which means dry, sunny weather is always to be had on either the central or south coast, whatever time of year you travel.

Phan Thiet Beach

The sleepy fishing town of Phan Thiet is about 200 km up the coast from Ho Chi Minh City. The quiet beach resort of Phan Thiet is a perfect change of pace from modern city life. A decade ago, this small fishing town received few visitors. Today, you have a huge choice of international-standard accommodations, various water-sports, and a awardwinning seaside golf course, sand dunes, ancient seaports, and Cham Ruins.. Mui Ne’s dazzling blue water, golden sand and red dunes are a photographer’s dream and you do not forget your camera. Phan Thiet is a 4-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City and 5 hour from Nha Trang City.

Nha Trang Beach

Just 45 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City and 1:45 minutes from Hanoi by air, Nha Trang is Vietnam ‘s premier beach resort, with a sugar white beach shaded by swaying palms and lapped by the warm Ben Cat Sea . Nha Trang is a favorite destination for vacationers.

Con Dao Island Vacation

In colonial times, the islands of Con Dao (also known as Poulo Condore) were much feared, as a notorious French prison was located on Con Son, the largest island of this remote southern archipelago. Many of Vietnam’s most famous freedom fighters served time on this lonely, windswept island, which lies 185 km south east of the port city of Vung Tau. Today, the archipelago’s residents survive by fishing, diving for pearls, collecting swallows’ nests, and farming. Visitors will find starkly beautiful cliffs, long, untouched beaches, and patches of thick, old-growth forest. Sea turtles lay their eggs on the islands’ remote beaches, while dolphins live offshore. Just 60 minutes flight by Vietnam Airlines from Ho Chi Minh City, Con Dao offers the perfect escape from modern life.

My Khe Beach – Da Nang

Just a short drive from Da Nang lie four UNESCO-designated World Heritage Sites: the former imperial city of Hue (2 hours), the ancient ‘Silk Road’ trading port of Hoi An (30 minutes away), the spiritual center of the Champa civilization, My Son (90 minutes) and the mystical Phong Nha Caves in Quang Binh province (3 hours), considered by some an access to the inner earth! Danang is a perfect gate away for a beach vacation. The luxurious Furama Resort Da Nang is a true icon of Vietnam tourism.
