Top 5 Activities You Must Try In The Coastal Gem of Mui Ne

By Centara Hotels & Resorts

Mui Ne is a stunning coastal gem tucked away in the southern part of Vietnam and is renowned for its serene beaches, laid-back atmosphere, and thrilling water sports. Once a quiet fishing village, this paradise has grown into one of Vietnam’s most popular holiday destinations, attracting visitors from all around the world. Unwind by the beach, experience the thrill of kitesurfing, or explore breathtaking natural landscapes; Mui Ne has something for everyone.

In this guide, we'll take a look at the top things to do in Mui Ne that make it a must-visit destination for your next Vietnamese getaway.

1. Relax on Mui Ne’s Best Beaches

Mui Ne’s pristine coastline is undoubtedly one of its main attractions. If you're looking for the perfect place to relax, you're in for a treat. The region boasts an array of beautiful beaches with golden sands and crystal-clear waters. Whether you want to soak up the sun, swim in the calm waters, or simply take in the stunning views, Mui Ne’s best beaches offer an ideal setting for relaxation.

One of the top choices is Hon Rom Beach, known for its peaceful and family-friendly atmosphere, where you can unwind and enjoy a quiet day by the sea. If you’re seeking a more fun beach scene, head to Bai Rang Beach, a local favourite dotted with fishing boats and palm trees, for a more traditional Vietnamese beach experience. For a more cultural experience, Fishing Village Beach is a unique glimpse into the daily lives of local fishermen, and it's a great spot to relax while watching the colourful boats come and go.

2. Experience the Thrill of Kitesurfing

Mui Ne has earned its reputation as one of the top kitesurfing destinations in the world, thanks to its consistent winds and excellent beach conditions. If you're a fan of water sports or just looking for an adrenaline-pumping activity, kitesurfing is an absolute must.

Beginners can take lessons at the many kitesurfing schools scattered along the coast, where experienced instructors will guide you through the basics. For more advanced kitesurfing riders, Mui Ne is a thrilling playground where you can catch waves and ride the wind. With perfect conditions throughout much of the year, this adventure sport draws enthusiasts from far and wide.

3. Explore the Red and White Sand Dunes

Mui Ne’s sand dunes

The sand dunes are one of the top things to do in Mui Ne and a unique attraction that sets the region apart from other coastal destinations in Vietnam. There are two main types: the Red Sand Dunes and the White Sand Dunes, both of which offer striking landscapes and unforgettable experiences.

The Red Sand Dunes, located closer to town, are perfect for a casual visit where you can try sandboarding or simply marvel at the dramatic scenery. The White Sand Dunes, often referred to as "Vietnam’s Sahara Desert," are further away but well worth the trip. Here, you can rent an ATV to zip across the dunes or hop on a jeep tour to explore the vast stretches of golden sand.

Visits to the dunes at sunrise or sunset are particularly magical. Enjoy captivating views of the desert-like terrain as the light shifts and changes the colour of the sands.

4. Visit the Fairy Stream (Suoi Tien)

If you want a tranquil and off-the-beaten-path experience, a visit to the Fairy Stream (Suoi Tien) is a must. This gentle stream winds through a canyon of soft red and white sand, creating a surreal landscape that feels almost otherworldly.

Wade through the shallow, warm waters as you marvel at the surrounding rock formations, sculpted by wind and water over time. The Fairy Stream is a peaceful escape from the busy tourist areas and is a great spot for photography, with its unique blend of natural colours and textures.

5. Discover Local Culture at Mui Ne Fishing Village

To get a taste of the local culture, head to the Mui Ne Fishing Village, where you can witness the daily lives of the fishermen who have lived in this region for generations. The village is best visited early in the morning when the fishermen return with their catch of the day.

As you walk along the shore, you'll see colourful fishing boats lined up in the bay and fresh seafood being prepared for sale. It’s a great opportunity to sample some of the freshest seafood Vietnam has to offer and take in the sights and sounds of this traditional village.
