Dreamy beaches and sand dunes

The deserted Vietnam beaches of Mui Ne are only four hours away from chaotic Ho Chi Minh City. This is a fantastic place to escape from the urban bustle, with vast spaces, Vietnam beach bungalows, and little noise. Mui Ne has long been regarded as the Hawaii of Vietnam with its coconut palms, long stretches of golden beaches, and impressively big waves. It really is a great spot to chill out for a few days.

Mui Ne also has the lowest levels of rainfall in the whole of Vietnam. This means that there's far more than a fleeting chance of dazzling sunshine - perfect for a mini break on one of Vietnam's best beaches. If you wish to extend your stay or upgrade your Vietnam beach bungalow accommodation, it's no problem at all. Just let us know and we'll put the necessary arrangements in place.

Day 1: Ho Chi Minh - Mui Ne Beach

You'll leave Ho Chi Minh City by train for Phan Thiet. It's a short 4hr journey and the train is very comfortable. When you arrive into Phan Thiet, you'll need to organise a taxi to take you to your accommodation in Mui Ne, where you'll spend the next couple of days doing, quite frankly, very little. You'll stay in colonial-style Vietnam beach bungalows with bags of atmosphere, right on the beach. You can practically roll out of bed onto the sands. Settle in, slip into your swimmers, and find yourself a lounger under a thatched parasol.

You really can't top the winning combination of sun, sea and sand. You can keep yourself busy doing nothing in Mue Ne - taking siestas in your Vietnam beach bungalow, long lunches, afternoon cocktails, and refreshing dips in the sea or the swimming pool. Food lovers will be in heaven in Mui Ne - fresh fish, Vietnamese specialities and European-style dishes are on the menu in the restaurant with romantic seaviews. What more could you possibly ask for?

Days 2-3: Free time

Only a few kilometres north, you could be forgiven for thinking you're in the Sahara. The vast white sand dunes, known to the Vietnamese as Bao Trang (white lake), are the heart of this mini-desert, and one of the best-kept secrets of Vietnam. It doesn’t take long to get to the sands on a rented scooter or pushbike. You can also slide down the dunes on a self-made sledge. Close to the dunes you will find the Vinh Hao Hot Springs, which are famed for their therapeutic qualities - perfect for soothing those sand-sledging injuries.

Phan Thiet lies right in the south of the Champa kingdom, and there are several temples built in the unique Cham architectural style just outside of Phan Thiet.

You could however simply relax on Mui Ne Beach, swing in a hammock outside your Vietnam beach bungalow, or ride the waves with the kiteboarders and surfers.

You'll end this trip by taking the train back to Ho Chi Minh City. It's possible to extend your stay at Mui Ne beach, and it is also possible to travel onwards to Nha Trang instead of HCMC, just ask our Vietnam specialists for details.
