Nha Trang, Vietnam

Vietnam's most famous beach city has played host to the Miss univese and Miss Earth pageants.

Executive summary by darmansjah

Indisputably picturesque, Nha Trang is widely considered one of the most beautiful seaside towns in Vietnam. Apart from the monsoon season between September and  December which brings strong winds and heavy rain, the rest of the year sees a steady stream of sun seekers heading to its pristine shores.
Nha Trang is known for being a good scuba diving and snorkeling destination with a number of dive centres providing courses catering to novices and advanced divers. A series of islands off-shore from Nha Trang make island hopping a possibility as well. For those who require a higher level of relaxation, Thap Ba Hot Spring Centre to the north of Nha Trang offers therapeutic facilities like mudbaths, heated pools, artificial thermal waterfalls, and massage treatments, all for a very reasonable fee.

From Kuala Lumpur International Airport, AirAsia (airasia.com), Malaysia Airlines, and Vietnam Airlines (vietnamairlines.com) fly to Ho Chi Minh’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Tiger Airways (tigerairways.com) and Singapore Airlines fly to Ho chi Minh from Singapore Changi Airport. From Tan Son Nhat, Vietnam Airlines offers daily connections to Cam Ranh International Airport, which is 40km from Nha Trang.

Novotel Nha Trang is conveniently located on the main street in the city and offers rooms with views overlooking the beach. Chairs on the beach are reserved for guests of the hotel and from here, you can even get food and drinks delivered to you by hotel staff (from US$105; novotel.com).
