Phan Tiet

Phan Tiet is a fishing town located 200 km north‐east of Ho Chi Minh City, Phan Tiet is a perfect stop for beach holidays.

In a nice setting with white sand beaches and coconut trees, the resort is also endowed with amazing spots such as the sand dunes, natural lakes and astonishing “red canyons”.

The best attractions in PhanThiet and the beach of Mui Ne comprise geographical wonders, traditional fishing villages, pristine beaches and mountains, and ancient structures that date back as far as the 9th century.

Phan Thiet and Mui Ne are among the busiest coastal towns in Vietnam, but they remains relatively untouched by urban development, making it an ideal retreat from the bustling cities of Saigon and Hanoi. The most famous attractions here are the Red and White Sand Dunes, where travellers can enjoy a fun-filled day of riding ATVs or sliding down the slopes on rickety sleds.

Northeast of the city center of Phan Thiet, the coastal road climbs over the slope of a hill in Phu Hai ward and descends onto the long, sandy crescent of Mui Ne Bay in Ham Tien ward. The formerly little-inhabited beach west of the fishing town and cape of Mui Ne proper has seen some serious development in the last 20 years. Now it is a 10 km long strip of resorts that line up like pearls on Nguyen Dinh Chieu and Huynh Thuc Khang streets, shaded by coconut palms.

Kitesurfing: is offered by many outfitters and hotels. Peak season is from November through March, with strong winds often occurring on a daily basis from 10-11am until the late evening. Gusty winds are seldom. With strong winds, the waves can be as high as four metres or more. The water is free of rocks, which makes it relatively safe to kite. However, it can get a bit crowded in the peak season as there are up to 300 kitesurfers in the water at the same time.
