Hammock on Palm Island

Route: Nha Trang - Palm Island - Nha Trang

Palm Island has a spectacular beach, azure seas, corals reefs, wooden bungalows. It's as close to a beach paradise as you can get. During this Vietnam trip, you can relax in a hammock between two palm trees while you sip a cheeky afternoon cocktail. You can swim, snorkel, dive, or simply stretch out on the golden beach. In the evenings, wander along the beach and eat fresh fish at the lovely island restaurant.

Day 1: Arrival on Palm Island

Depending on your mode of arrival, you'll be collected from either the railway station or the airport in Nha Trang. The minibus will bring you to the jetty for the speedboat crossing to Palm Island where you'll begin your Vietnam beach trip. This region to the east of Van Ninh in Central Vietnam is protected as a nature reserve both above and below the water. On the island, and in the surrounding bay, you'll see incredible animal and bird life. The underwater world is superb – if you snorkel you'll see both hard and soft corals, and many unusual species of fish. Between April and July whales and whale sharks are often spotted in the vicinity of this Vietnam beach.

Whilst staying on this Vietnam beach, you'll be treated to delicious meals with a strong French influence served by the friendly staff. When you arrive, a meal will be served and you can follow this with a drink in the tropical bar, the gentle sound of lapping waves in the background. Bliss.

Day 2: Free time

There are only a handful of rustic and secluded bungalows on Palm Island, all hidden amongst swaying palm trees. The water's edge is only a few short steps from your veranda. The bungalows are tastefully furnished with a double bed (or two singles), mosquito net, and ceiling fan. All of the bungalows have their own private bathroom and are designed to be eco-friendly. Children under 8 years old can be accommodated with their parents in the same bungalow for free.

You can rent snorkels for less than £1 per day during your Vietnam beach stay. It is a great diving location and you're more than welcome to book a diving course to keep you occupied during your stay.

Day 3: End of Palm Island tour

In addition to diving and snorkelling, there are various other activities up for grabs during your visit to this Vietnam beach. Surfboards and catamarans are available for hire. You can also book boat trips to neighbouring bays and islands. The owners of the resort are heavily involved with nature preservation. They'll be more than happy to tell you where the mangroves, swamps and animals can be found in Van Phong Bay.

If you'd like to extend your stay on Palm Island during Vietnam holiday, just let our friendly Vietnam travel specialists know. At the end of your stay, you'll be brought back to Nha Trang by boat and then minibus. You'll be dropped off at your hotel or taken straight to the airport or railway station. 

WARNING: You must not fly within 24 hours of your last dive. Please keep this in mind.

Following this laid back Vietnam beach trip, you could head to Ho Chi Minh for some culture with our Saigon and Mekong Delta tour. Or, if you’re travelling north, our classic Hoi An trip is a perfect way to break up your journey.
