Every New Year’s Eve, Nha Trang’s beachfront turns into one long open-air party, and the fireworks go up from April 2 Square, the wide plaza on Tran Phu Street next to the Incense Tower. The promenade fills with people hours before midnight, so a Nha Trang fireworks hotel with a sea-facing room or rooftop is the difference between enjoying the show and fighting the crowd on the sidewalk.
Tran Phu Street is lined with beachfront high-rises, so many hotels have a real shot at the view. Here are ten, from first-line towers to central stays one street back.

Practical Tips for a Nha Trang Fireworks Hotel Night
Best Public Viewing Spot
If you have not booked a view room, the Tran Phu promenade in front of April 2 Square and the Incense Tower is the centre of the crowd. Arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes early to find a clear sightline to the water.
Road Closures and Safety
Expect Tran Phu Street to close to traffic in the hours around the countdown, so walk in rather than taking a taxi to your hotel door. Keep valuables close and agree on a meeting point with your group in case you get separated.
Getting to Nha Trang and Making a Night of It
Most arrivals land at Cam Ranh International Airport, about 35 to 40 km south of the city centre, so allow transfer time on a late December 31 arrival. See our Cam Ranh transfer guide for options. For a countdown dinner, our seafood restaurants guide covers places within walking distance, and if you are still choosing a destination, compare the three big beach options before you book.
