Quy Nhon

Quy Nhon is one of Vietnam's most beautiful and least visited coastal cities, a stunning bay destination on the south-central coast combining extraordinary crescent beaches, ancient Cham empire archaeological heritage at Thap Doi twin towers and Banh It hill temples, excellent local seafood, a genuine Vietnamese city character and a remarkable emerging luxury resort scene that has made it one of the country's most exciting new destinations.

Elect's take

"Quy Nhon is Vietnam before the crowds arrived — or at least that is how it feels. The beaches are genuinely extraordinary, the Cham heritage is fascinating and the combination of beauty and authenticity creates one of the most rewarding coastal experiences available in Vietnam."

Ky Co Beach, approximately 25 kilometres from Quy Nhon city, is consistently rated one of Vietnam's most beautiful beaches, a dramatic crescent of white sand enclosed by headlands with extraordinary clear water accessible by boat from nearby Eo Gio. Bai Xep, a small fishing cove, is beautiful and increasingly known among discerning travellers. The Cham archaeological sites surrounding Quy Nhon are outstanding — Banh It hill temples provide an extraordinary setting above the landscape. The local seafood, particularly the fresh sea urchin, crab and Quy Nhon-style seafood rice paper rolls, is exceptional. The luxury resort Anantara has transformed the destination's profile.
