Day 1 - Ho Chi Minh - Mui Ne
You'll leave Ho Chi Minh City by train for Phan Thiet. It's a short 4hr journey and the train is very comfortable. When you arrive into Phan Thiet, you'll need to organise a taxi to take you to your accommodation in Mui Ne, where you'll spend the next couple of days doing, quite frankly, very little. You'll stay in colonial-style bungalows with bags of atmosphere, right on the beach. You can practically roll out of bed onto the sands. Settle in, slip into your swimmers, and find yourself a lounger under a thatched parasol.
You really can't top the winning combination of sun, sea and sand. You can keep yourself busy doing nothing - taking siestas, long lunches, afternoon cocktails, and refreshing dips in the sea or the swimming pool. Food lovers will be in heaven here- fresh fish, Vietnamese specialities and European-style dishes are on the menu in the restaurant with romantic sea views. What more could you possibly ask for? | Day 2 - Mui Ne - Go as you please
If you want to stretch your legs after all the sunbathing, there's plenty to occupy your time around Mui Ne. Only a few kilometres north of Mui Ne Beach you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the Sahara. The vast white sand dunes, known to the Vietnamese as Bao Trang (white lake), are the heart of this mini-desert, and one of the best-kept secrets of Vietnam. It doesn’t take long to get to the sands on a rented scooter or pushbike. You can also slide down the dunes on a self-made sledge. Close to the dunes you will find the Vinh Hao Hot Springs, which are famed for their therapeutic qualities - perfect for soothing sand-sledging injuries.
Phan Thiet lies right in the south of the Champa kingdom, and also offers some fascinating sights. The Cham people belong to the best-known minority in this region and there are several temples built in the unique Cham architectural style just outside of Phan Thiet. The towers were built in the early 14th Century as Hindu temples and they are beautifully preserved.
You could however simply relax on Mui Ne Beach, or ride the waves with the kiteboarders and surfers. | Day 3 - Mui Ne - Ho Ci Minh City
You'll end this module by taking the train back to Ho Chi Minh City. It is possible to extend your stay at Mui Ne, and it is also possible to travel onwards to Nha Trang instead of HCMC, just ask us. |
