Phan Thiet

Phan Thiet is an old Cham outpost with a population of 75,000 people. Its renown for its large fishing fleet and is famous for "nuoc mam", or fish sauce, the traditional and most popular dipping sauce in Vietnam. The particular smell of fish and fish sauce permeates the downtown area as Phan Thiet river cuts right through the centre of the town. It is also packed with boats. The fishing village at Mui Ne is very picturesque with its hundreds of multicolored boats.

There is also a beach a few km to the east of the town. But the bigger draw is Mui Ne Beach, 22km again to the east of the town. The road to Mui Ne is stunning with sand dunes on the one side and a relatively unspoiled beach on the other. Beautiful, majestic coconut trees are in abundance on both sides of the road.

Mui Ne

Mui Ne Beach, the sunniest place in Vietnam! Here you can enjoy fine dining and fresh local seafood; spend an exciting day windsurfing or a reclusive morning at the White Sand Dunes; shop at the Mui Ne Village Markets for cheap clothing, local produce, and traditional crafts; explore ancient ruins of the Champa Kingdom; or have a night on the town in Phan Thiet City.

Mui Ne Beach and the surrounding Binh Thuan province have everything to offer. We have beautiful tropical beaches lined with groves of swaying palm trees; immense saharan dunes meandering through kilometers of red, yellow and white sands. We have winding rivers teeming with fresh fish and crabs; tall mountains with bamboo rainforests and pristine waterfalls. There are deep, red canyons parted by twisting streams and echoed by the sounds of tropical birds... we have everything you could ever want.

Mui Ne has becoming known as the kiteboarding and windsurfing capitol of Vietnam. Likewise, neighboring Phan Thiet has one of the finest 18-hole golf courses in the country, at the Ocean Dunes Golf Club. The new Sea Links Golf Course opened in 2008, offering an addition 9 holes.

Much of the resort areas of Mui Ne are less than 10 years old. Mui Ne is relatively new community and is much more relaxed than other costal areas in Vietnam. It's on of the friendliest spots in the country--and you won't be pestered by touts and scam artists here! However you spend your vacation, you will find it to be one of the most relaxing yet memorable yet.
