Nearby Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are within easy reach of the resort, each offering a distinct taste of Vũng Tàu:

• Jesus Christ Statue (Tuong Thanh Gioc): Perched atop Mount Nho, just 15 minutes from the resort, this 32-meter iconic statue is Vũng Tàu’s most recognizable landmark. Visitors can climb 1,000 steps to the base, then climb a spiral staircase inside the statue to the outstretched arms for panoramic views of the South China Sea and the surrounding coastline.
• Vũng Tàu Back Beach (Bãi Sau): A 10-minute drive from the resort, this 8-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand is the perfect spot for swimming, sunset walks, and trying fresh grilled seafood from beachside stalls. It’s far less crowded on weekdays than central Vũng Tàu beaches, with calm waters ideal for casual swimming.
• Vũng Tàu Fish Market (Chợ Cá Vũng Tàu): Located 20 minutes from the resort, this bustling early-morning market is the best place to experience local life. Watch fishermen unload their daily catch, sample fresh tropical fruit, and pick up cheap, freshly steamed shrimp or crab to take back to your villa’s kitchen for a homemade feast.

Travel Tips

If you’re driving from Ho Chi Minh City, the resort’s private parking makes it easy to self-navigate. Book a villa with a private pool if you’re visiting on a honeymoon or romantic trip—early bookings get the best garden-view units. Grab is widely available in Vũng Tàu if you don’t have a car, and most rides to nearby attractions cost less than 50,000 VND. Pack comfortable walking shoes for the climb up to the Jesus Christ Statue, and arrive before 8 a.m. to beat the midday heat and crowds. Finally, stop by the fish market before 9 a.m.
