Sightseeing
Rang Garden Resorts Mui Ne
Need a few days away. Then head to Mui Ne, just 174km from Vung Tau. Mui Ne is a coastal fishing town in the Bình Thuận Province of Vietnam with a population approx. 25,000 people. Mui Ne is definitely moving upmarket, as more exclusive shops and hotels open their doors, complemented by the more traditional types, best of both worlds, there is still a( kite) surfer vibe to the town. It’ s almost impossible to get lost in Mui Ne, as everything is spread out along a 10km stretch of highway. Mostly accommodation lines the beach side, while restaurants and shops flank the other. The place I love to stay at when visiting Mui Ne is the Rang Garden Resort. It is a family run business and early last year they opened up their second resort on the beach side. I prefer the hill side bungalows where the atmosphere is so warm and friendly and protected when the winds are blowing. A room will set you back $ 25usd- $ 45usd a night on the Hillside. On the Beach side prices start at $ 40usd up to $ 115usd a night. Both have restaurants where the local food is served and if you are lucky Mẹ( Mamma) will be in the kitchen preparing your meal. There are many tours to go on while you’ re there, so do a little bit of homework before you leave for Mui Ne just to make sure you don’ t miss out on anything. Make sure you leave enough time to relax around the pool and recharge your batteries. If you’ re into kite boarding and wind surfing look no further as this town is well known for the sport. There are over a dozen outlets ready to teach the new comers and rent out equipment. High season is from November to May. Getting there is easy, you can go by private car, which will take around 4 to 4 / 15 hours from Vung Tau and cost around 2,000,000vnd $ 100usd one way for a 7 seater or you can take a local bus, traveling time is 7 hours costing approx 400,000vnd $ 20usd. Check their web page for bus details.
