Mui Ne Bay

The beautiful town of Mui Ne is only 140 miles from Ho Chi Minh City yet it was close to a five hour drive thanks to the poor road conditions and heavy motorbike traffic. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the picturesque grounds of Anantara Resort.

We spent the next few days swimming in the ocean, lounging by the pool, and getting pampered at the spa. We also took advantage of the amazing fresh seafood which could be found all throughout Mui Ne. One of our favorite meals came from the decidedly modest (and cheap!) Lâm Tòng restaurant. Here you can eat with sand between your toes while listening to the sound of water lapping the shore just steps away from your table.

Mui Ne is a beautiful, sleepy town where you can immerse yourself in the daily lives of a Vietnamese fishing village while also relaxing and recharging.
