A fire dancer performs in front of the Sailing Club in Nha Trang Town

Established in 1994 by an Australian with Vietnamese partners, the Sailing Club – at 72 Tran Phu Street in Nha Trang Town – is renowned for its stunning seaside location, open-air restaurant, and trendy nightclub.

At dusk, the club takes on a romantic feel with soft candlelight, music, and the sound of waves crashing softly in the background. The sky turns a deep red and the sun begins to set behind the Dien Khanh Mountains making for a perfect time to sip a delectable cocktail or ice-cold beer from the club’s extensive drinks menu.

The Sailing Club also offers a delicious and savory mix of Asian and Western cooking at reasonable prices.

Mouthwatering appetizers, burgers and seafood are a few favorites from the diverse menu. While enjoying a meal here, diners can gaze out at the azure waters and coconut palms or simply watch the crowds of people as they stroll along the beach.

As the night goes on, the relaxed ambience of the early evening transforms into a lively hot-spot for those looking to dance the night away. Drink deals and hip tunes played by contemporary DJs keep the dance floor packed nightly. Live music every Tuesday and Thursday offers something for everyone while local fire-dancers perform on the beach.

“I had an amazing 2007 New Year in Nha Trang with my sister,” said British tourist Loren. “It was a New Year to remember forever.”

The Sailing Club also has locations in Mui Ne and Hoi An Town.
