The best areas to stay in Quy Nhon, including the city beach, Phuong Mai Peninsula, and beaches to the south of the city centre.
Quy Nhon is a city in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. The city has similarities to Da Nang and Nha Trang in that it has a municipal beach in the city centre. Unlike Da Nang and Nha Trang, it has yet to be discovered by international mass tourism.
There are some occasional international news articles that proclaim that Quy Nhon is Vietnam’s next big beach destination, but you still have time to get here before it goes mainstream.
Quy Nhon is an unusual city in that it has covers a large area with distinct geographical features.

If you’re visiting Quy Nhon for the first time and just want to find the main area to stay, then stay near the beach in the city area of Quy Nhon.

Note about addresses: In July 2025, Vietnam merged provinces and cities across the country. Quy Nhon was the capital of Binh Dinh province, but Binh Dinh has now been incorporated into Gia Lai province. Quy Nhon is now the capital of the enlarged Gia Lai province, but many maps and online addresses still show Binh Dinh province.
Quy Nhon City
The city of Quy Nhon has a beach that faces Quy Nhon Bay. The total seafront is about 6 km in length, with about 4.5 km of sandy beach (the beach disappears at the northern end). While the beach sand isn’t quite as soft as the beaches of Da Nang and Nha Trang, the beachfront park and promenade makes for a scenic seaside city.
One of the great aspects of coastal cities of Vietnam are the beach parks, and the beach park of Quy Nhon is one of the best in the country.
[Quy Nhon Beach Park.]
The centre of Quy Nhon is on the beachfront at Quy Nhon Square. There is a giant statue of young Ho Chi Minh (then known as Nguyen Tat Thanh) with his father (Nguyen Sinh Sac). The beachfront area is very walkable, so picking somewhere near the beach is fine. If you want to be nearest to the centre, then use Quy Nhon Square as the central point.

Guesthouses and budget hotels
Quy Nhon is still mostly a domestic tourist destination, so there are cheap hotels everywhere. I usually look for budget hotels close to the city beach, and see what the deals the hotel booking sites are offering.
The Green Park Hotel (2-star) is typical of what to expect with a budget hotel in Vietnam. It’s no frills but it’s clean and everything works.
The Green Park Hotel is named after the park it is in front of. The park along Nguyen Tat Thanh Road is a linear park that runs alongside the road, and it makes Quy Nhon feel green and civilised.
[Nguyen Tat Thanh Park.]
I visited Song Suoi Homestay to rent a scooter. This guesthouse feels like a travellers hostel where guests mingle in the lounge area. The homestay also has travel information for the surrounding area, which I have not seen in any other budget hotel in Quy Nhon.
[Song Suoi Homestay.]
Mid Range
HAKU Boutique Hotel (2-star) is near the beach and around the corner from the best cafe in Quy Nhon (Adiuvat Coffee Roasters).
Mento Hotel (3-star) is centrally located near Quy Nhon Square.
[Mento Hotel.]
Fleur De Lys Hotel Quy Nhon is a 4-star hotel at the northern end of the beach (before the sand disappears). The hotel is opposite East West Brewing and Surf Bar 1, which are cool bars that are on the beach.
[Fleur De Lys Hotel Quy Nhon.]
Odin Hotel Quy Nhon (4-star) is 4 minutes walk inland from the beach.
Sala QuyNhon Beach Hotel (4-star) opened in 2025, and its contemporary architectural design stands out among the boxy tube hotels that are common in provincial Vietnam.
[Sala QuyNhon Beach Hotel.]
A’dor Hotel & Spa (4-star) is opposite Nguyen Tat Thanh Park.
[A’dor Hotel & Spa.]
The southern end of the beach features several large blocks that have been redeveloped. It has a different feel to the old city core, but it’s a pleasant walk along the beachfront to get to the old city area.
This area is notable as there are some older hotels that are on the beachfront (between the beach and the main beach road). Other beach cities like Nha Trang and Da Nang have been actively removing hotels on the city beachfront. Most of the Quy Nhon beachfront is now a city park, so these hotels are an exception to the rule. These hotels look like they are from a bygone era, and their main selling point is that they are on the beach.
Ocean View Hotel (3-star) and Binh Duong Hotel (Khach San Binh Duong) (3-star) are two hotels on this beachfront area.
[Binh Duong Hotel.]
The Seagull Hotel (4-star) looks like one of the original seaside hotels of Quy Nhon, and it only has the Vietnamese name on the building (Khach San Hai Au).
Anya Hotel Quy Nhon (4-star) is one of the new hotels among the cluster of new towers on this section of the beach.
Luxury Hotels
Grand Hyams Hotel – Quy Nhon Beach is in the tallest building in Quy Nhon (168.8 metres) and it’s one of the landmark buildings of the city. The hotel is one street away from the beachfront, and there are no other tall buildings nearby to obstruct its view.
[Grand Hyams Hotel – Quy Nhon Beach.]
In the same building as the Grand Hyams Hotel are the TMS Residences. There are numerous apartments for rent, and the apartments are listed separately on booking sites.
Note that this building was originally going to be the Pullman Quy Nhon, but the Pullman pulled out some time during the pandemic years. Some old news sites and booking agents still show the Pullman name, in case you were wondering why you can’t find the Pullman on current booking sites.
FLC City Hotel Beach Quy Nhon is the landmark hotel at the south end of the beach. FLC Group are a Vietnamese conglomerate with interests in real estate, aviation, and tourism. The group owns Bamboo Airways, and they plan to turn Quy Nhon into an international tourism hub. Part of that plan is to develop luxury hotels in Quy Nhon.
Behind the FLC City Hotel Beach is the FLC Sea Tower, which is part of the FLC Group’s redevelopment of this area.
FLC Sea Tower is an apartment tower that has individual apartments for rent. If you search for FLC Sea Tower you will be presented with numerous options, such as FLC Sea Tower – The Beach Quy Nhon.
[FLC Sea Tower.]
Anya Premier Hotel Quy Nhon is also on the main beach road in this redeveloped area of the city.

Phuong Mai Peninsula
The Phuong Mai Peninsula is separated from the city centre by the Thi Nai Lagoon. The peninsula is reached via the Thi Nai Bridge (2.477 km), and the peninsula area is a mix of sand dunes and rock formations. It is technically in the boundary of Quy Nhon City, but it couldn’t be more different to the city.
Quy Nhon is developing the peninsula into an industrial estate, and the coastal areas with beaches have various tourism projects. There are some lovely fishing villages here, as well as some examples of tourism development gone wrong.
I’ve never stayed on the peninsula as I only visit by motorbike when I stay in the city. It’s not easy to get around by public transport, so I would only consider staying in this area if you are touring by motorbike or if you are ok with just getting a taxi from the airport to sit on a resort beach.
Nhon Hai
Nhon Hai is a fishing village at southeast corner of the Phuong Mai peninsula. Nhon Hai is set in a beautiful location that is worth a visit even if you aren’t staying.
The village has two beachfronts that form an L shape. The first beach is the working fishing area. Depending on the time of day you are here, you will see fish being hauled onto land and nets being mended. It’s not a leisure beach, but the boats look great on the dazzling blue water on a sunny day.
[Nhon Hai Fishing Beach.]
Around the corner is a longer beach that is more conducive for leisure. There is a play area for kids, and this beach is where day trippers come to get boats the nearby Hon Kho Beach on Coral Island.
[View of Coral Island.]
This beach also has a rubbish problem, which a problem with fishing villages in general.
At the south end of the beach is the Nhon Hai Beach Restaurant, which is literally on the beach. Here you can put your feet in the sand while enjoying a beer or ca phe sua da.
[Nhon Hai Beach Restaurant.]
Opposite the Nhon Hai Beach Restaurant is the Nhon Hai Beach Hostel. The hostel was open when I last visited, but it’s showing as closed on some sites and I can’t find any website or social media presence.
[Nhon Hai Beach Hostel.]
Some of the homestays and guesthouses in Nhon Hai are bookable online, or just look for houses with “nha nghi” signs (guest house) if you are riding around by motorbike.
[Guest houses in Nhon Hai.]
There are few amenities in Nhon Hai, and most of the restaurants are seafood places that cater to groups of day trippers.
Sometimes people say they want to stay in an authentic fishing village without thinking of what that would really be like. Do you really want to stay in a village where there are no convenience stores or cool cafes? On the other hand, a stay in a rustic fishing village is the antidote for the big city beaches that Vietnam is known for.
[Nhon Hai fishing town.]
I will be interested to see what happens to Nhon Hai in the future. It’s one of those places that could break out, and maybe it will be filled with boutique hotels and hipster cafes in the future, and we will all be moaning about how it became too touristy.
Merryland Quy Nhon
Merryland Quy Nhon is a new leisure area at the southern end of the Phuong Mai peninsula. The project is still under construction, but I place it here in case you see advertisements for it in Quy Nhon. There are billboards all over Quy Nhon promoting the project, and advertisements have been prominent at airports across Vietnam.
[Billboard promoting Merryland on the road to Merryland Quy Nhon.]
Nhon Ly
Nhon Ly coastal commune is about 20km northeast of the Quy Nhon city centre. this area has a long stretch of rugged coastline with hidden beaches, fishing villages, and luxury resorts.
This area is still being developed, and there are lots of new roads with hardly any traffic. There are big sand dunes and wind farms on the surrounding hills.
FLC Luxury Resort Quy Nhon (5-star) is the main resort in the Nhon Ly coastal area. Like many coastal resorts in Vietnam (such as in Da Nang and Cam Ranh), FLC Luxury Resort is isolated from the city centre, so this is the sort of place you go if you just want a relaxing time at a beach resort.
[FLC Luxury Resort Quy Nhon.]
FLC were planning to turn parts of the Phuong Mai Peninsula into a major tourism and resort area, but some corruption scandals in the company have derailed the plan. As a result, there are lots of half-finished buildings in the new urban area near the FLC resort. There are a few shops that are open in this area, but overall it’s a depressing site to see abandoned concrete shells.
FLC did manage to complete the FLC Quy Nhon Golf Links which is connected to the resort, and there is also the FLC Zoo Safari Park Quy Nhon. I’ve been to enough zoos in Southeast Asia to know that I don’t need to go to this.
The FLC Resort is near the Nhon Ly fishing village. There is another nice beach here that is used by fishing boats, and there are some homestays and guesthouses in the town.

The Nhon Ly fishing village doesn’t show correctly on Google Maps.
[Google Map of Nhon Ly fishing village.]
here is the same map using Google Map satellite view.
[Google Map satellite view of Nhon Ly fishing village.]
This area is also referred to as the Eo Gio Tourist Area, and the branding between Nhon My and Eo Gio is confusing. One of the main sites here is the cliff walk along the coast.
South of Nhon Ly village is the KyCo Peninsula Quy Nhon Resort (3-stars). This hotel is famous for its location on a secluded beach. It’s the only hotel on the beach and there are no other facilities nearby, so you come here to get away from it.
There are lots of interesting things to see on the peninsula, but you will need a motorbike to get around. Alternatively, a day trip from the city would cover the main sites.
Bai Dai (Long Beach)
Bai Dai is a beach to the south of the city centre. It includes the Bai Xep Beach (a fishing village popular with budget travellers), and the southern end of Bai Dai Beach is home to exclusive resorts.
Bai Xep
[Bai Xep Beach.]
Bai Xep is a fishing village on a peninsula 12 km south of Quy Nhon city centre. Bai Xep is technically part of Quy Nhon, though it doesn’t feel like it.
[View of Quy Nhon skyline from Bai Xep fishing village.]
The village of Bai Xep clings onto the rocky coastline, and it’s a steep walk from the main road down to the beach. There is a village well at the main intersection of the small streets, and there is an assortment of accommodation options among the seafood restaurants.
Mira Bai Xep (2-star) is at the entrance to the beachfront next to Haven Vietnam (2-star).
Casa Marina Resort (4-star) is the most luxurious option on Bai Xep Beach.
I stayed at Life’s a Beach Bai Xep, but the hotel has since moved 3.4 km down the coast in Dak Lak province (former Phu Yen province). This is technically not in Quy Nhon but I place it here because some sites still list Life’s a Beach as being in Quy Nhon. Here is the new listing for Life’s A Beach.
Bai Xep can be reached by Bus T11 from Quy Nhon.
Bai Dai Resorts
Next to Bai Xep Beach is Bai Dai Beach. Some sites list Bai Xep as Bai Dai, and to add to the confusion, there are also Bai Dai beaches in Nha Trang and Phu Quoc. Bai Dai Beach is a private beach for resorts, so I am listing Bai Xep and Bai Dai separately to distinguish between the public and private beaches.
Avani Quy Nhon Resort (5-star) is a luxury resort located on Bai Dai Beach.
Next to Avani is the Anantara Quy Nhon Villas (5-star), both of which are brands of Minor Hotels.
The Avani and Anantara can be booked as part of a package with The Vietage by Anantara luxury train between Da Nang and Quy Nhon. The train service are luxury carriages attached to the back of a regular train, and the train goes to Dieu Tri Station (near Quy Nhon).
