We had the best little adventure in Mui Ne just after lockdown from the Corona Virus was lifted. It is a coastal town that is just under a 4-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City. A perfect travel destination with kids.
Victoria Phan Thiet Beach Resort & Spa
We absolutely fell in love with this place. We got a beachfront bungalow and it was just perfect for the four of us. Large double bed and fold away bed for the kids. A big bath and outdoor shower.
The resort has 2 pools, a great restaurant, private beach and pony rides for the kids!! Also kids club, outdoor playground, day spa, and various sports courts.

Fairy Stream Mui Ne
During our stay in Mui Ne, we set off on a magical little adventure to Fairy Stream. This is a must-do with kids. They loved splashing about in the water and sand and all the while searching for real fairies.
As you walk through the stream you see natural red and white sand dunes on one side and lush greenery on the other. It takes about 30-40 minutes and then you reach a cute little waterfall at the end.
It is mostly feet deep and is only knee-deep in a couple of small places. Very easy for the whole family to do.
Getting There:
49B Huỳnh Thúc Kháng, Phường Hàm Tiến, Thành phố Phan Thiết, Bình Thuận 800000 – Really close to the main part of town!
Open daily – 6AM – 6PM
Cost: 15.000 dong for the entry for adults

Enjoy the local restaurants and fresh seafood!!!!
It goes without say that it is a must to try the beautiful fresh seafood on offer.
Some to check out
Mui Ne Deli Restaurant – delicious and reasonably priced. Offers a great variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and seafood.
Sindbad for some Middle Eastern fare. First Dõner Kebab in Mui Ne since 2011. Now thats something to be proud about!
Strawy Restaurant – Beachfront views and a variety of international, Vietnamese, and local cuisines for you to enjoy. It is a bit difficult to find if you come in from the street. Go in through Bamboo Village and head all the way to the beach!
