According to Viva, if visitors have plans to enjoy a family holiday in the summer, then they should go and discover the breathtaking beaches of both locations which are blessed with clear blue water and silky-smooth sand.

It reported that Vietnam has become one of the most favourite destinations among Indonesian tourists. In the first quarter of this year, the number of Indonesian tourists to Vietnam increased by 188% compared to the pre-pandemic level.

The Indonesian newspaper added that that direct flights between the two sides also made it more convenient for people to travel.

Located about 400km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City and over 1,200km south of Hanoi, Nha Trang boasts a beautiful beach and has established an expat community of about 4,000 people. Earlier, travel magazine Travel+Leisure also named the coastal city of Nha Trang as one of the eight best beach destinations for retirees.

Meanwhile, Phu Quoc Island is famous for its wild beauty, with its beaches famous for long stretches of soft sand coupled with calm turquoise waters. It was among the most favourite destinations in the rankings of international organizations.

Yonhap News dubbed Phu Quoc ‘Vietnam’s Maldives’, while Business Post praised the beautiful beaches on Phu Quoc, especially in the southern part of the island, from which people can see the sunset.
