In recent years, Phan Rang – Ninh Thuan has emerged as a new, pristine and less crowded destination than Nha Trang or Mui Ne, yet it boasts blue seas, sand dunes, Cham culture and a very distinctive cuisine. If you want a different kind of trip, this is a land worth putting on your calendar.
Why is Ninh Thuan a new destination worth visiting?
- Still-pristine beaches and bays: Vinh Hy, Binh Tien, Hang Rai, Ninh Chu.
- Sunny climate almost year-round with little rain — ideal for the beach and photography.
- Distinctive Cham culture: Po Klong Garai towers, Bau Truc pottery village, My Nghiep weaving village.
- Unique specialties: grapes, grape wine, apples, lamb, mountain goat.
- Close to Cam Ranh Airport, easy to combine with Nha Trang.
Vinh Hy – one of the most beautiful bays in Vietnam
Vinh Hy Bay lies within Nui Chua National Park, famous for its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, glass-bottom boats and a stunning coastal mountain pass road. Nearby is Hang Rai, with its ancient coral rock beds and a very distinctive wave-crashing scenery.
Cham culture & craft villages
Po Klong Garai is a fairly well-preserved cluster of Cham towers and a symbol of Phan Rang. Also visit Bau Truc pottery village — one of the oldest pottery villages in Southeast Asia — and My Nghiep brocade weaving village to better understand the local culture.
Sand dunes, grape wine & cuisine
The Nam Cuong and Mui Dinh sand dunes offer desert-like shots. Ninh Thuan is also Vietnam's grape capital — you can tour vineyards, taste grape wine, and enjoy the signature lamb and mountain goat.
