Premier Havana, Nha Trang
That time of the day when pink and purple colors the sky is the perfect time to be at the top of the city. With a cocktail and a good companion, you are all set for the best sunset view rooftop bar in the city. The beach, the city, the island, the ocean, the sky, you name it they have it at Skylight-just come with your cutest dress and maybe a pair of high heels for a fun night out!
Transporation
Just a few steps away from Tower Incense on the long beach in Nha Trang is Premier Havana, a five-star hotel standing next to Intercontinental hotel. From Nha Trang city, it was only a 10-minute walk, 5 in the streets and 5 along the beach road. We enjoyed walking at this time of the day with such an amazing view from the beach side so I recommend walking if you are not so far away from the beach. But if you are staying somewhere further away, Grab is a cheap and convenient option. For a 5-minute ride, it would probably cost you anywhere between 25-30k VND, which is only a little over 1 USD. Just stay away from the tricycles as they are notorious for their threatening tricks after luring tourists with a deal then dropping them off at a dodgy area and asking for 5-10 times more! How crazy!
What to expect
Once you reach Premier Havana, you can easily spot the ticket box for Skylight. After purchasing your ticket or paying for your deposit, you can take the elevator that goes all the way up to the 43rd floor of the hotel then voila! The bar, the pool, the skydeck and the restaurant will be in front of you. Me being a sunset lover, I cannot stress less about this uninterrupted sunset view of the Vin Pearl Island and the ocean from our table. I highly recommend booking your table in advance for the best seat possible. We booked ours half an hour prior to our visit and secured the table closest to the edge of the bar, the only barrier between us and the ocean being a glass fence.

If you are only going for a drink, the entrance fee is 100 VND (4 USD) per head, which includes one drink and access to the 360 skydeck. If you are booking a table, you’ll have to pay a minimum of 500k VND per table and your orders will be deducted from that deposit. The drinks started at 220k VND and main menus were about 350k-750k VND or higher so you won’t have to worry about not being able to spend all 500k VND. After a few drinks and some good food our bill was 1500k VND so it wasn’t a cheap meal but definitely worth the price. Our grilled fish with sticky coconut rice and beef steak with mashed potatoes were beyond delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was incomparable to any other.
This meal was ranked as our top 3 in Nha Trang and the vibe of the restaurant/bar was impossible to top. The servers were friendly and kind with fine dining appropriate manners. I would definitely go back for the sunset and the delicious dinner if I visit Nha Trang again. Originally we were planning to check out their rooftop beach club-which is in the middle of the bar and the restaurant-but we enjoyed our meal so much that we were already so satisfied with our experience even before dancing the night away. According to the online reviews, they have a great clubbing atmosphere as well, so if you are into showing off some moves staying late could be an option to consider.
Summary
Skylight rooftop bar is the place for you if you are planning a special night during your trip. Remember to prepare 500k VND for your deposit and get ready for some of the best city & ocean view. The best time to start dining is at 6-6:30 PM as the sun sets beautifully behind you while you wait for your dinner to be served. May you make beautiful memories under the ferry lights and enjoy the tasty food…and maybe some grooving involved as well!
