Mui Ne & Phan Thiet

Mui Ne & Phan Thiet

Just a four-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City brings you to the sun-drenched shores of Phan Thiet and its laid-back neighbor, Mui Ne. Here, endless stretches of sugar-white sand meet jade-green waters, while towering red and white dunes ripple inland like a desert mirage. Under nearly year-round sunshine, these villages offer an unbeatable beach escape from the city’s heat.

Start your day with a bicycle ride along palm-lined lanes, pausing to watch fishermen haul in their catch at the dawn market. Then, cool off with a swim in your resort’s infinity pool or beneath the shade of a beachfront bungalow. Don’t miss the chance to climb the fiery dunes at sunrise or sand-board down their steep slopes as the sun turns the sand to molten gold.

Phan Thiet itself is renowned for its fish-sauce workshops drop by to see how this kitchen cornerstone is made. For a change of pace, tee off on an ocean-view golf course or linger over a seafood feast at one of the “bờ kè” grills, choosing your own lobsters and clams straight from the tanks. Whether you’re after adrenaline-fuelled dune adventures or simply want to unwind with a tropical breeze overhead, Mui Ne and Phan Thiet deliver a uniquely coastal Vietnamese experience.
