Top things to do in Nha Trang

Go beach-hunting

During the day, Nha Trang Beach is awash with sunbathers. A few kilometres south of the city, Long Beach is home to a clutch of local seafood joints and surfing spots. If you feel like exploring farther, hire a motorbike to Dốc Lết or Đại Lãnh beaches.

Try a mud bath

Nha Trang's boasts a unique pair of wellness attractions: mud baths and hot springs. Hidden in the hills just north of the city are a handful of spa-like facilities, where you can sit in a healing pool of warm mud before relaxing in hot mineral water.

Get on the water

Daylong island excursions will show you around Nha Trang Bay, and a series of small islands nearby such as Monkey Island, Hòn Mun Island, and Yến Island where you’ll be greeted by beautiful, untouched shores. 

Visit pagodas and palaces

Long Sơn Pagoda and its towering, 78-foot-tall Buddha statue are a sight to see, as are the centuries-old Po Nagar Cham Towers. Less-visited spots such as the Bảo Đại Villa south of Nha Trang also shed light on the region's history.
