Hòn Tầm

Hòn Tầm is an island located off the coast of Nha Trang, primarily used as a resort destination. Visitors go here to access white-sand beaches and specialized mud-bath facilities. It serves as a location for combining seaside relaxation with hot spring treatments.

Getting There

The island is accessible from the Nha Trang city center via boat. The journey typically involves a short trip to a pier followed by a boat ride to the island. Depending on the boat type and departure point, the transit usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes.

Duration of Visit

A half-day trip is sufficient for those visiting only for the beach. However, travelers using the mud-bath facilities and hot springs should allow a full day to accommodate the treatment process and relaxation time.

When to Visit

The island is most accessible during the dry season when sea conditions are calmer. It can become crowded during Vietnamese national holidays and peak summer months. Arriving in the morning is recommended to avoid the midday heat.

Nearby Attractions

Because the island is reached by boat, it can be combined with other nearby coastal spots. Options include:

  • Hòn Miễu (1.4km)
  • Hòn Tre (5.6km)
  • Hòn Khu Ong (5.9km)
  • Đầm Bay (6.2km)
