Local Attractions

Three nearby attractions make this resort an ideal base for exploration. First, La Gi Fishing Harbor is just 10 minutes away by car. Watch colorful wooden fishing boats unload their daily catch at dawn, browse the bustling fresh seafood market, and grab a cheap, steaming bowl of fish noodle soup from a street vendor right on the waterfront. Second, Ta Cu Mountain is a 40-minute drive from the resort. Hike or take the cable car up to the summit to visit the iconic 49-meter-long reclining Buddha statue, explore century-old pagodas, and enjoy panoramic views of the South China Sea stretching out below. Third, Ho Coc Beach is a 25-minute drive north, a wild, undeveloped stretch of sand lined with limestone cliffs and coastal rainforest, perfect for quiet beachcombing, birdwatching, and swimming in calm, clear waters.

Travel Tips

If you’re driving from Ho Chi Minh City, the resort is around a 2.5-hour trip, and free on-site parking makes self-driving effortless. Book your stay in advance during the dry season (December to April), when sunset views are clearest and beach weather is ideal. Don’t forget to book a barbecue through the resort if you’re traveling with a group – the staff can source fresh local seafood for a memorable beachside cookout. Finally, pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to kayak or fish offshore, and bring cash for small extra charges like alcoholic drinks, fishing trips, and room service.
