Phan Rang's Main Accommodation Areas

Most visitors to Phan Rang stay along the coastal strip in Ninh Chu or near the city centre, where hotels range from simple guesthouses to mid-range beachfront properties. The city centre around the market and train station suits travellers who want local food and easy transport, while Ninh Chu Beach draws those seeking sea views and resort-style stays. Further afield, the quiet lanes of Thap Cham and the fishing village of Vinh Hy offer a more rural base for exploring the surrounding countryside.

Where should you stay?

  • Quiet
Cons
