The tranquil place is also the perfect place to spend some quality time with family and friends. And for food in Mui Ne, restaurants are ample, and you can check the Anantara Mui Ne Resort for a good dining experience as it is located only 17 minutes away from the sand dunes.
In Mui Ne, you can find some interesting details about the Hindu culture. These fine details are showcased proudly at the Po Shanu Cham Towers of Mui Ne.
