Dry season starts — but Tết changes everything mid-month
February (Tết + Dry Season Start) Weather at a Glance
February delivers Hoi An's best weather: 26/20°C, 6 hours of daily sunshine, only 4 rainy days, low humidity. UV reaches 7 (similar to Korean May). The challenge is timing around Tết (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) — Feb 17-24 in 2026. During Tết, many family-run tailors + cao lầu shops + cafes close 3-5 days, hotels charge 1.5-2x normal, and Vietnamese domestic travel surges.
February (Tết + Dry Season Start) Travel Advice
Best windows: Feb 1-15 (pre-Tết) or Feb 25-28 (post-Tết). Tết week is chaotic but culturally fascinating if you want to see Vietnamese New Year traditions. Book Tết-week hotels 6+ months ahead. The monthly Lantern Festival around Feb 2 + the post-Tết Tet Nguyen Tieu (full moon after Tet) festival around Mar 3 are both spectacular.
Flying In from Overseas
Korean + Japanese + Chinese travelers all peak in February due to Lunar New Year. Direct DAD flights from Seoul $400-800 (1.5x normal). Western travelers benefit from same dry weather without LNY surge — book pre or post Tet.
February (Tết + Dry Season Start) Pricing Trends
Anantara Hoi An $400-800/night during Tết ($250-400 outside Tết). Four Seasons The Nam Hai $1,200-2,000/night Tết-week. Boutique $150-300/night. Hostels $15-40/night.
