Anantara's First Vietnamese Retreat Reveals Far More Than Shoreline Luxury

Discover a place where the sea meets the sand dunes in a paradise of relaxation.  Anantara Mui Ne Resort & Spa is located 198 kilometres northeast of Ho Chi Minh City and only 11 kilometres from Phan Thiet train station. Unwind to a symphony of swaying coconut palms, famously long golden beaches and stunning mountains, all blessed by Vietnam’s most ideal beach climate. 
 
Balance beautiful beach life with intriguing exploration.  Set out on an exhilarating jeep tour or race down towering sand dunes on mats.  Experience the rhythm of coastal life at Mui Ne village, watching boats set off for their daily fishing voyage and return to unload their haul. Hire a boat and glide across the famous fresh water White Lake “Bau Trang”, spanning 70 hectares and home to numerous fish, including 30 kilogramme carp - or simply take in the forest and mountain scenery with a picnic on the banks.
 
Take a short speedboat ride to a small island and climb the 184 steps of Ke Ga Light House.  Built in 1899, this historic relic of original Binh Thuan architecture is now a major tourist attraction and offers wonderful views.  A more ambitious ascent can be found at Ta Cu Mountain, whose peak reaches 649 metres above sea level.  25,000 hectares of national primeval forest and an average temperature of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius create an inviting environment for scenic hikes.  Small paths wind upward for 2.4 kilometres and pass historic pagodas en route to the top, accompanied by a cable car for the less energetic, with the ultimate reward of a lofty panorama.
