The city of Quy Nhon on Vietnam's east coast is a little-known secret with stunning beaches, as our writer discovered – with luxury accommodation starting from £125 a night
There’s a well-trodden tourist path through Vietnam, but one place that isn’t on it is the coastal city of Quy Nhon. And with some of the most beautiful beaches in all of southeast Asia, quite why this hidden treasure remains little known to visitors is hard to fathom.
Where to stay in Quy Nhon Affordable luxury is a buzzword that actually rings true in the case of The Avani Resort on Bai Dai beach. Staying next door to its sister hotel, the luxe Anantara, means guests can use all the facilities of both without busting the budget. What to do in Quy Nhon Very little, mostly. Quy Nhon has a kilometre of white sand and, with just a handful of resorts scattered around, you almost get the place to yourself. In fact, we did, as the beach was deserted. Take a traditional coracle out to sea, go snorkelling and explore the rock pools in search of crabs. The Avani will also organise fishing trips – go squid jigging after dark with the fishermen in Nhon Ly before cooking your catch on the boat.
What to eat in Quy Nhon Sea.Fire.Salt, the restaurant at the Anantara, specialises in cooking on Himalayan salt bricks. Push the boat out with fresh lobster, or go for locally caught squid or king prawns, lamb chops or wagyu beef, served with a variety of flavoured salts.
