The Crowning Glory Of Vietnam
relax
Halong Bay, Vietnam
In 2008, the most beautiful woman in the Universe was crowned in Nha Trang, Vietnam. It was no surprise that the Miss Universe Pageant was held in this idyllic resort. Nha Trang, with its gorgeous Mediterranean weather, alluring beaches, and seductive crystal waters created
the perfect stage for an event that celebrates all things beautiful.
Do’s:
• Beware of the monsoons that occur between October and December.
• Book early if you intend to visit during Summer.
• Adequate sun protection is
important.
• Dine on the fresh local seafood.
Don’ts:
• Never leave belongings unattended.
• Be wary of uncooked shell fish.
• Cuts from corals can get infected. Best not to touch them.
Step away from its shores, and you’ll be surprised by what Nha Trang has to offer. The Thap Ba hot springs is definitely one of them. Up the coast spectacular seafood restaurants line the waters edge. The Cham temples, remnants of an ancient Indian civilization that colonized much
of South Vietnam and Cambodia around 500AD, certainly deserve a visit. Or cable car across to the island for a day at an off the wall
theme park.
With so much to offer it’s little wonder that Nha Trang is hugely popular with both local Vietnamese visitors, and foreign tourists alike. Summer months can prove daunting as you would expect for a beachside town that’s often compared to Cancun, Mexico, and Oahu, Hawaii. Fortunately, this resort town is also the choice of some of the world’s most famous, and exclusive resorts and spas.
None more so than the Evason Ana Mandara Resort & Six Senses Spa. The resort has earned its reputation as one of the finest in the region. Its setting can’t be more perfect with the only beachfront access. Needless to say, its hospitality, like its food is legendary. Be prepared for a lifetime of disappointment once you leave this resort.
As more, and more travellers explore Vietnam, other bays, and beaches will be discovered. But Nha Trang will always remain the jewel in the crown.

Nha Trang Bay is widely considered as one of the world’s most beautiful bays. Not surprisingly, life here revolves around the beaches,
and fabulous waters. Diving and snorkelling promise thrilling rendezvous with exquisite marine and coral life. While sun worshippers can concentrate on sipping cocktails, and the important task of achieving an immaculate tan.
