Why Stay in Nghe An?

A Blend of Coastal Charm and Cultural Heritage

Nghe An, Vietnam’s largest province at 16,470 km², lies 290 km south of Hanoi in the North-Central region, offering a diverse range of accommodations from budget homestays to mid-range hotels. Its vibrant hubs, Vinh Ward and Cua Lo Ward, attract over 70,000 visitors annually, drawn to cultural sites like Kim Lien Village, natural wonders like Pu Mat National Park, and the pristine 10 km Cua Lo Beach. With nightly stays costing $15–$50 (375,000–1,250,000 VND), Nghe An caters to eco-conscious travelers, families, and culture enthusiasts.

The province’s tropical climate (dry season: November–April, 22–32°C or 71.6–89.6°F; rainy season: May–October, 24–36°C or 75.2–96.8°F) supports year-round visits, with sustainable accommodations like eco-friendly homestays and hotels using solar power and biodegradable amenities. Legend Travel Group’s tours integrate these stays with immersive experiences, ensuring a responsible visit. Book via links in this guide or contact us at WhatsApp: +84825862222 or email: sales@legendtravelgroup.com for a seamless stay.

Administrative Update

As of July 1, 2025, Vietnam’s administrative reform reorganized Nghe An’s districts into wards and communes. Vinh City is now Vinh Ward, and Cua Lo Town is Cua Lo Ward. Use “Vinh Ward, Nghe An” or “Cua Lo Ward, Nghe An” for precise navigation to accommodations.
