Providing a different perspective of Vietnam, Phan Thiet and Mui Ne are well worth exploring and here are some insights that will help.
Getting There
The port city of Phan Thiet and the coastal fishing village of Mui Ne can be found in Southeast Vietnam. Those planning to visit these destinations can fly to Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat International Airport) and proceed from there by either car (around a four-hour drive), bus or train (to Phan Thiet).
Accommodation
For accommodation in Mui Ne, resort options by pristine golden shores make the ideal choice. Such properties include Anantara Mui Ne Resort that caters to couples and families alike; apart from luxurious rooms, suites or villas, you will have access to a kids’ club, spa pampering, diverse dining and exciting excursions too.
Best Things to Do
Apart from lazing on the beach, you can also try kitesurfing here. Amongst the best things to do in Mui Ne would be to visit its famed White Dunes and Red Dunes to enjoy stunning sunsets and hot air balloon rides. You can also head to the 8th century Po Shanu Cham Towers, explore Phan Thiet by cyclo and hike to Ta Cu Mountain’s summit.
Weather & Getting Around
The dry season is from December to March and features the best weather; that said, the wet season (May to October) and transitional months (November and April) also have much to offer and rates are less too. You can get around by foot or bicycle, while alternatives include renting motorbikes and hiring taxis including a “xe om” or motorcycle taxi!
