As one of Vietnam's premier beach holiday hubs, Mui Ne welcomes visitors from around the world. Here are five reasons why the destination should be on your travel bucket list.
As the main attraction for most visitors heading to Mui Ne, the white, sandy beaches of Mui Ne are more than enough reason to schedule a getaway in the area. Home to some of the country's most pristine seaside landscapes, the tranquil and secluded beachfronts of Mui Ne are a world apart from the congested and crowded beaches of neighbouring beach Meccas the likes of Thailand. Boasting sunny weather conditions for most of the year, Mui Ne is a year round beach vacation hotspot. Hon Rom Beach in Mui Ne is ranked among the most scenic beaches in the country as it is situated at the base of a mountain.
Sand dunes are part and parcel of a Middle Eastern holiday but Vietnam's Mui Ne region is also home to its own patch of desert. The geographical anomaly is a curious departure from the tropical terrain that covers most of Mui Ne but the landscapes also makes for an intriguing tourist attraction. Those who wish to experience the sandy desert of Mui Ne should head out to the arid area during the sunrise or the sunset hours as this unique vantage point provides spectacular views of the rising and setting sun.
Laying claim to some of Vietnam's finest beach resorts, the stunning locations and the well-appointed villas of any Mui Ne Resort will impress those in search of a beach paradise of their own. Honeymooners and couples will especially appreciate the aesthetic appeal of Mui Ne accommodation providers whether it's the Anantara Mui Ne resort or any other five star Mui Ne resort as the on-site amenities and services place these establishments a cut above similar resorts in other parts of the country. This is one of the main reasons why Mui Ne is a popular destination wedding hub and a honeymoon destination.
Regarded as one of the most charming corners of Mui Ne, the local fishing village is another reason why beachgoers flock to this region of Vietnam. Offering travellers a look at the local fishing community and the quiet and pastoral setting in which they live and work, a tour of the local fishing village is a great way to reacquaint oneself with rural Vietnam and step away from touristic landscapes altogether. From the slow pace of life to the resilience of its populace, little has changed in the local fishing village which is easily identified by the colourful boats lining the docks.
Whether one is an avid fan of seafood delicacies or not, the chance to sample some of Mui Ne's finest local delicacies is a good reason to sign up for a holiday in the area. The availability of fresh seafood means that local restaurants serve up a plethora of mouth watering crab, prawn, fish and mussels dishes but that seafood is part and parcel of every meal in Mui Ne.
