MUI NE
A popular getaway from Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne offers a true laid back beach resort experience. Just a four hour drive from the city will see you arrive at long stretches of powdered sand, calmed with cooling winds and a choice of intimate beach resorts.
Nearby stunning sand dunes are a popular visit along with the fishing town of Phan Thiet, however, the majority of the activity takes place along the beach with an array of water sports on offer. Kayaks, jet-skis, wind-surfing and kite-surfing are great options with the steady wind conditions. It’ s almost impossible to get lost in Mui Ne, as everything is spread out along a 10km stretch – the resorts are flanked beachside whilst the restaurants and shops are along the non-seaward side. However you choose to spend your time in Mui Ne, it will no doubt be a relaxed one.
