10 Beach Clubs in Vietnam: Pools, Sunsets, Music and Water Sports

A beach club in Vietnam might be a pool with a bar, a waterfront restaurant, a late-night party venue or a kitesurfing base. The name alone does not guarantee an all-day sunbed, free admission or calm swimming conditions. Choosing becomes easier when you first decide what you want: a day by the pool, a sunset, a dance floor or time on the water with an instructor.

The ten clubs below span several coastal destinations. Each has its own character, while clubs inside resorts also have their own access rules. This is a selection by type of experience, rather than a ranking in which a large pool automatically beats a small beach restaurant.

Choose a club that fits your day

Phu Quoc: sunset pools and beach installations

1. Sailing Club Phu Quoc — pool, sunset and evening entertainment

Sailing Club sits on Bãi Trường within the Phu Quoc Marina complex. It brings together an infinity pool with a bar, a beach, a restaurant and open-air lounging areas. That makes it a place to allow several hours for: spend time by the water, then stay for dinner and the evening programme.

Sunset is the natural focus of that visit. After dark, the club turns its attention to music and fire performances, so daytime and evening offer noticeably different experiences. Come earlier for a quiet conversation; if the show is your priority, ask what is scheduled for your particular date.

The official address is Lot B7, Bai Truong Complex. The website lists daily hours of 06:30–22:00. When booking, check pool access, sunbed arrangements and any minimum spend separately: reserving a restaurant table and spending a full day at the pool may be different services.

2. Sunset Sanato Beach Club — a beach setting for sunset photographs

Sunset Sanato on Bãi Trường is the beach area of a resort complex, with art installations including Gate Keeper, Bird Nest and Stairway to Heaven. Walking by the water and taking photographs are central to its appeal. Comparing it with Sailing Club solely on the drinks menu misses that difference.

Choose it for a combination of the sea and unusual backdrops, rather than necessarily an entire day on one lounger. Before visiting, ask which installations and areas are open to non-resident visitors. A ticket to the beach area should not be treated as access to every facility in the resort.

The club is in the Đường Bào area of Bãi Trường. Ask Sunset Sanato for current admission prices, children’s rules and included services: the resort’s main page does not provide one tariff that can confidently be applied to every Beach Club visit.

Da Nang and Hoi An: a beach day alongside the old town

3. NOX Beach Club — pool and restaurants at Hoiana

NOX is part of Hoiana Resort & Golf south of Hoi An. It follows the larger resort-club model, with a central pool, Beach Club Bar and several restaurants, including Osteria and Grill. It suits a day spent in one location, moving between time by the water and a proper lunch or dinner.

Beach Club Bar focuses on poolside cocktails, Osteria on Italian food, and Grill on steaks and seafood. A family or group can choose its restaurant separately from its lounging area. However, a restaurant table does not automatically include a paid sunbed, cabana or pool access; confirm those arrangements when booking.

Navigate to Hoiana Resort & Golf, then NOX Beach Club within the complex. Beach Club Bar’s page lists opening from 11:00 until late, while the restaurants have their own schedules. Request the current day pass or daytime-access conditions and the events programme.

4. Blush Beach Club — a pool day with a clear spending arrangement

Blush is on the coastal Lạc Long Quân road between Da Nang and Hoi An. Facilities include an infinity pool, beach access, cabanas, loungers, a restaurant and a lawn. It is an option for a dedicated day by the sea with facilities, rather than a quick bar stop on the way elsewhere.

The website publishes a minimum spend of 399,000 VND per adult and 299,000 VND per child aged 6–10. The amount is fully credited towards food and drinks, so it is a spending requirement rather than simply an admission ticket. Groups should ask how it applies to a particular cabana or set of loungers, and what additional charges may apply.

Listed hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00–21:00. Confirm the current minimum spend, conditions for children of other ages and availability in your preferred area. From either Da Nang or Hoi An, search specifically for Blush Beach Club on Lạc Long Quân.

5. Shore Club An Bang — cabanas and beach time near Hoi An

Shore Club is directly on An Bàng Beach. Its core offerings are beach beds, VIP cabanas, a restaurant and seaside drinks; beach partners arrange water activities. It works for combining a walk around Hoi An with a few hours by the water, without turning the visit into a separate resort holiday.

The menu mixes local and international food, including pizza and sushi. Music and community events also take place, so the date matters more than a blanket promise of a quiet beach venue. For a regular daytime visit, ask about available beach seating; for the evening, check the music and events schedule.

The website lists daily hours of 07:00–22:00, with the kitchen closing at 21:30. The club is at the far left end of An Bàng Beach, with The DeckHouse mentioned nearby. Reserve a cabana, beach bed or restaurant table as a specific seating option, rather than simply requesting entry to the club.

Nha Trang and Cam Ranh: city beach or resort terrace

6. Sailing Club Nha Trang — the sea without leaving the city

Sailing Club Nha Trang is on the beach side of Trần Phú at number 72–74. Unlike clubs inside distant resorts, it is accessible from central Nha Trang. By day it is a beach restaurant and bar with sunbeds and beanbags on the sand; evenings focus on music and nightlife.

Vietnamese, Indian and Western dishes also make it an option for an ordinary seaside lunch. For an evening visit, checking that day’s programme is more useful than expecting the same entertainment throughout the week. If reading or conversation is the aim, the daytime format is closer to that plan than a late party.

The official website lists daily opening from 07:00 to 02:00. Ask about the price of your preferred beach seating and admission rules for specific events: a normal restaurant visit and a party may operate under different conditions.

7. Beach Club at The Anam Cam Ranh — terrace dining by the sea

The Beach Club at The Anam Cam Ranh is primarily a restaurant and bar on Bãi Dài. An open wooden terrace, palm trees and ocean views define the setting. Choose it for an unhurried resort lunch or dinner, rather than expecting an all-night DJ dance floor.

The menu offers international food and a broad wine selection, while the official page also advertises live music several times a week. Plan around a table and a meal instead of assuming access to all of The Anam’s pools for the day. If you are staying elsewhere, arrange your restaurant visit and entry to the grounds in advance.

The Beach Club’s listed daily hours are 11:00–22:00. When reserving, ask about music on your chosen evening, dress requirements and use of beach facilities; those conditions are separate from the restaurant bill.

Mui Ne and Phan Rang: water sports by day, music by night

8. Jibe’s Beach Club — water sports and beach dining in Mui Ne

Jibe’s at 90 Nguyễn Đình Chiểu combines a beach restaurant, bar, equipment shop and water-sports centre. It offers windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing, SUP, kayaking and beach-catamaran sailing. This is somewhere the main activity of the day can be a session on the water instead of time in a pool.

Beginners should start by talking to an instructor: different activities require different conditions, and a good day for one sport may not suit another. Visiting simply for breakfast or lunch by the beach is also an option. Treat lessons, equipment hire and restaurant spending as separate costs.

The site says it opens at 07:00 and the bar continues until late, without one precise closing time. Arrange your preferred sport, ability level and lesson or equipment price in advance, and ask exactly what is included.

9. Mantra Mui Ne Beach Club — a late-evening destination

Mantra at 138 Nguyễn Đình Chiểu emphasises music, including Afro House, house, melodic techno and other dance styles. It is an evening-club experience with a bar and special events, rather than a leading choice for quiet daytime reading. Its photographs and programme put the stage and lighting ahead of a catalogue of beach facilities.

Choose Mantra for a particular DJ or event. Themed-party names do not mean the same programme runs every evening, so check the schedule and entry conditions before setting off. Plan a taxi or another driver for the late return, especially if you intend to drink alcohol.

The official website lists 17:00–02:00 Sunday to Thursday and 17:00–04:00 Friday and Saturday. Ask about tickets or minimum spend, table availability and the age restrictions for your chosen event.

10. Sorrento Beach Club — kitesurfing at Mỹ Hòa Lagoon

Photograph source: Sorrento Beach Club.

Sorrento is beside Mỹ Hòa Lagoon in the Phan Rang area. This boutique club combines accommodation, two infinity pools, a restaurant, a bar and kitesurfing facilities. Treat it as a separate sports stop on your itinerary, rather than a neighbourhood beach bar within walking distance of central Nha Trang.

The format suits combining water sessions with relaxation in one location. However, an attractive lagoon photograph does not establish suitable swimming or riding conditions at a particular time; discuss sessions with the team on site. Restaurant visits, pool use, kite services and accommodation may each have different rules.

The landmarks are Mỹ Hòa Lagoon and the DT702 road. Before travelling, confirm daytime access for non-residents, pool use and lesson or equipment-hire arrangements. Do not assume these are included in the restaurant bill without the club’s confirmation.

What to check before booking

Admission, deposits and minimum spend are different charges

One club charges for food and drinks, another for a particular beach seat, while a third requires separate daytime pool access. A minimum spend usually describes how much you must spend, but does not explain every condition. Before paying, ask four questions:

• Which part of the payment is credited towards food and drinks, and which is a separate admission or seating charge?
• Is the price per person, table, cabana or group, and does it include tax and the service charge?
• Are the pool, towels and a sunbed included, for how long is access valid, and can you leave and return?
• What rules apply to children and your chosen event, and what happens to the reservation in bad weather?

The beach, the weather and the journey back

A pool and a seaside restaurant are different reasons to visit, and separating them helps when choosing a date. If swimming in the sea is the priority, check the local forecast and beach warnings; a club does not make every wave safe. For a family day, ask about children’s access, pool depth and a suitable quiet area.

Evening entertainment changes the plan too: a venue that works well for lunch can become loud after dark. Book around your intended experience and decide in advance how to get back to your hotel. Our guides to Vietnam’s beaches and seasons can help with choosing the destination itself.
