Introduction

In case you are looking for a peaceful coastal getaway - a place that is very remote from the busy life of cities, enveloped by pristine nature and the slow-paced daily routines of local fishermen - then Ninh Van Fishing Village of Nha Trang is an excellent choice. Come along with Asia King Travel in discovering Ninh Van Fishing Village - a tranquil beach resort in the middle of Khanh Hoa.

About Ninh Van Fishing Village

Ninh Van Fishing Village is located in Ninh Van Commune, Ninh Hoa Town, Khanh Hoa Province, on the peninsula of Hon Heo. The village is surrounded by three major mountains - Tien Du (776m), Hon Heo (819m), and Phu Mai Nha (714m) - creating a secluded coastal valley with an exceptionally peaceful setting.

Thanks to its remote location, Ninh Van fishing village keeps its original beauty, which consists of soft white sand, limpid waters, and rows of palm trees along the beach. In contrast to the crowded Nha Trang city center, Ninh Van delights the visitors with its simple coastal views: painted tire boats parked on the beach, fishnets hanging in front of houses, and quiet waters blending with the village's unhurried lifestyle.
