Nha Trang in March 2026 – is it worth going on vacation? Weather and reviews, water temperature, whether there are waves, prices for tours, air tickets, hotels. What you can do and see in Nha Trang in March, where to go in Vietnam – says Eurotraveler.
The East is, as we know, a delicate matter. Not only in terms of cultural characteristics, but also climate.
Therefore, those who are going to relax (on the beach) in countries such as India and Sri Lanka, Thailand or Vietnam, when planning a trip, first of all have to take into account the weather nuances. And it’s good to imagine what can you count on at one time or another of the year.
Without going too deeply into details, we can say that in the designated region it will be possible have a nice time in winter. And most of the spring – in Southeast Asia for sure – is quite good, if not exceptionally good, for a tourist trip with an emphasis on swimming and sunbathing.
In particular, a Vietnamese resort like Nha Trang is almost at the peak of the high season in March. Enjoys hot, but not excessively, sunny weather almost every day.
Yes, quite windy at times. But at the same time, creating just not ideal conditions for a balanced holiday
You just need to take into account some important nuances. And then the vacation will be a feast for the eyes!
Weather in Nha Trang in March
It will please, that is, it will first directly amaze tourists arriving from northern countries. Of course, they will arrive from the kingdom of cold into real summer. Moreover, summer is soft, full of light, warmth and bright colors!
Air temperature in Nha Trang during March not susceptible sharp fluctuations. At the beginning of the month, during the day you will see about +25-28 degrees Celsius on street thermometers every day. In the middle and end of the month there is every reason to expect an increase to +30-32 °C.
It rarely gets higher in the first month of spring. But the drop in air temperatures to below +25 degrees in theory may happen.
However, the duration of such a period almost never exceeds 2-3 days. And for some reason in the reviews you mention such cold weather you won’t meet.
On the contrary, there is a lot of excitement about “how warm the weather is in Nha Trang in early March.” If we talk about the middle of the month, then the tone changes slightly, and they write mainly about “heat”. And also about the incredible activity of the local sun…
Nights at the main resort of Vietnam in March colder. But not so much that you want to put on jackets and boots, in which you went to “overseas lands”.
Not at all – after sunset, the local air temperatures prefer the interval +21-23 °C. Although, as an exception, they can drop to +18 degrees Celsius.
Rains “come on stage” extremely rarely – during the entire 7-10 days of your Asian vacation the sky can don’t shed a tear of rain. Although in theory precipitation does happen. And their average monthly norm (30-40 mm) clearly hints at this.
As for the winds, in most cases they nice air blowing sun-heated skin. Only on certain days and on certain beaches (the central beach of Nha Trang is one of them) can they create known problems not only when trying to swim, but also simply entering the water.
Water temperature
Remains on levels that no one will call you low. Throughout March, the sea in Nha Trang is warmed up to at least +25-27 °C. That is, it allows all ages of holidaymakers to swim.
You just need to take into account a number of important aspects.
First of all, there are little children here must not be left unattended. Because waves in Nha Trang are present in almost any month of the year and can easily overwhelm a small person digging in the sand on the surf line.
Secondly, be sure to take with you on vacation to Vietnam a sufficient amount of sunscreen with a high SPF (from 50 and above). And start using it before you even leave the airport terminal.
Otherwise you’re almost guaranteed skin burn — the sun in Nha Trang at the beginning of spring is already scorching mercilessly. Further – closer to the calendar summer – it will, of course, become more and more “tasteable”.
What to take with you
In addition to sun cream or gel, you should definitely take beachwear on vacation to the tropical sea from natural fabrics with maximum coverage area (skin areas). Plus a variety of hats, panamas, caps. And, of course, sunglasses.
Light jacket or windbreaker might come in handy only in exceptional cases. For example, during a trip to Dalat, where in March:
- A. a little cooler
- B. noticeably damper
Be sure to put it in your vacation luggage voluminous traveling first aid kit. Where should be present not only those medications that you take on an ongoing basis (if you take them), but also first aid supplies in case of poisoning, indigestion, overheating or allergic reactions.
We recommend packing a first aid kit and taking it with you in any case. Regardless of whether you decide to take out travel health insurance (in the case of Vietnam, this is reasonable precaution) or not.
Prices
Can’t be called particularly tall. Although, of course, they will be much higher than the prices for tours to Egypt in March, for example.
The starting level if you are going on a trip to Nha Trang from Moscow is 180-190 thousand rubles for two. The hotel and room for this money will be almost luxury, but the only food available is breakfast. For a small additional fee you can also get half board.
Independent travelers have not much chance to save. Since only round trip air tickets (from Moscow) will cost ~80 thousand rubles per person (with luggage).
Moreover, the flights will not be direct, but transit, with a corresponding waiting time (in Chinese airports, most likely).
And here are the hotels in Nha Trang very inexpensive. Even in such a “high” month as March!
For just 25-30 € per night, a couple of travelers can stay at the very decent Seaside Boutique Hotel Nha Trang Beach. WITH spacious rooms and excellent location – just 7-8 minutes walk from the beach.
Buffet breakfasts are not included in the price, but are also reasonably priced.
You will have to find where to have lunch and dinner on your own. But this is even good – you will get to know each other closely traditional Vietnamese dishes.
The cost of excursions in Nha Trang and nearby depends on the degree of their intensity and the intended program.
Participation in a cruise along the coast, combined with snorkeling in some picturesque bay, for example, will cost 25-30 € per person. A one-day tour with a guide to Dalat as part of a group costs about 50-60 €.

Things to do
There is not much to see in Nha Trang itself. However, this does not count as a tourist attraction this resort town itself: big and bright. Very lively, full of national flavor.
Which seems not a single tourist can pass by – it doesn’t matter whether he’s out of childhood or not
People go to Khon-Che for the sake of impressions via cable car. Stretching over the sea, impressive views of the surrounding area and, in principle, its length.
Near Nha Trang you can visit the Yang Bay Waterfalls. Near which, if the weather is not too hot, it is necessary “bathe” in thermal springs.
Tourists who are able to move away from the beach for at least a day, refusing to swim, are advised to trip to Dalat. A very interesting Vietnamese attraction far from the coast, rightfully called the “City of a Thousand Flowers”.
You can get to Dalat completely independently: by regular bus (note that this is a test) or by car. Although at the same time you should remember both the distance that you will have to cover (about 130 km from Nha Trang) and the time during which you will have to strain (from 4 hours).
And in this case, “stress” is not a figure of speech. Since traveling by public transport in Vietnam, especially intercity transport, is real test.
Another option to get to Dalat is a tour. You will have to splurge a little to purchase it. But then you just have to look around and absorb impressions.
