When's the best time to visit Vietnamese beaches from Hanoi?

For the best beach weather, plan your trip based on your preferred destination. Phu Quoc is nicest from November through March, with comfortable temperatures of 77-86°F (25-30°C) and very little rain. If you're heading to Halong Bay, go between March and May when it's a pleasant 73-82°F (23-28°C). Nha Trang has great beach weather from January to August, staying between 75-85°F (24-29°C) with hardly any rain.

How many days do I need for a beach trip from Hanoi?

You'll want at least 5-7 days, but 9-11 days is perfect if you can swing it. A good mix is spending 2-3 days exploring Hanoi, 2 days in Halong Bay, then 3-4 days relaxing at the beach in either Phu Quoc or Nha Trang. This timing works well - we see it in popular trips like the Vietnam Paradise Honeymoon tour.

What kind of hotels can I expect at the beaches?

You'll find everything from nice 3-star hotels to fancy 5-star resorts. In Phu Quoc, you can stay at upscale places like La Veranda Resort or Sea Stars Resort. If you're visiting Halong Bay, you'll sleep on well-appointed cruise ships like Le Journey Cruise or Doris Cruise. Pretty much everywhere you'll get beach access, pools, and rooms with ocean views.

Which beach spots are easiest to reach from Hanoi?

Most travelers head to either Mui Ne or Phu Quoc Island. Mui Ne has a beautiful 19-mile (30 km) stretch of beach lined with nice resorts like The Cliff Resort and Anantara. Phu Quoc is known for its white sand and luxury stays at places like Salinda Resort and La Veranda. As one TourRadar traveler put it: "Phu Quoc was truly the most beautiful and untouched beach in Vietnam. Activities there were awesome."

How much beach time do tours usually include?

You usually get 3-5 full days to enjoy the beach, typically at the end of your trip. For instance, tours to Phu Quoc Island often give you 4 whole days to relax at resorts like La Veranda or Salinda. One TourRadar reviewer mentioned: "Having 4 free days at the beach after the sightseeing was perfect for unwinding."

What cultural stuff can I see before hitting the beach?

In Hanoi, you can walk through the busy Old Quarter, check out the Ho Chi Minh Complex, and catch a traditional water puppet show. Most trips include time on a Halong Bay cruise boat like Paradise Sails before heading to the beach. One TourRadar traveler shared: "exploring Hanoi's temples and taking a cooking class at Red Bridge Cooking School in Hoi An were highlights before our beach time." Make sure to visit the Temple of Literature and see a show at Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre while you're in Hanoi.
