One of the perks of Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR) is how close it sits to the sand. The Bai Dai (Long Beach) resort strip on the Cam Ranh peninsula is only a 10 to 20 minute drive from the terminals, far quicker than the 45 minutes up to Nha Trang.
Getting to the resorts
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Resort shuttle | Many properties include or arrange an airport pick-up, so check when you book |
| Private transfer | Fixed price with a driver waiting at arrivals; easiest with luggage. See private transfers |
| Taxi or Grab | Quick and on demand from the rank, with a shorter, lower fare given the distance |
Bai Dai and the resort strip
Bai Dai is a long, sandy beach lined with resorts, which makes it a popular base for a fly-and-flop holiday close to the airport. The short distance keeps every transfer quicker and cheaper than the trip into the city, a real plus for dawn flights or families with young children.
Resorts versus Nha Trang
A stay on the Bai Dai strip keeps you on the beach and minutes from your gate, while Nha Trang (about 45 minutes north) brings nightlife, markets and the city beach. Our hotels guide compares the two. Confirm transfer prices and resort pick-ups close to your travel date.
