Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the homestay:

• Vũng Tàu Lighthouse (Hải Đăng Vũng Tàu): Perched atop the highest hill on Vũng Tàu’s cape, this 19th-century French colonial lighthouse offers sweeping 360-degree views of the South China Sea and the city below. The winding drive up the hill passes lush tropical forest, and the small on-site museum offers a peek into the region’s maritime history.
• Back Beach (Bãi Sau): A 10-minute drive from the homestay, this wide, soft-sand stretch of coast is perfect for swimming, sunset strolls, and sampling fresh grilled seafood from beachside vendors. It’s far less crowded than Vũng Tàu’s popular Front Beach, with calm, gentle waters ideal for young kids.
• Christ the King Statue (Tượng Chúa Kitô Vua): One of Vũng Tàu’s most iconic landmarks, this 32-meter-tall statue of Jesus stands atop Nho Mountain. Visitors can climb the internal stairs to the observation deck at the top of the statue’s shoulders for postcard-perfect views of the coastline.

Travel Tips

Come prepared to disconnect, as the property does not offer internet, so download any maps or entertainment before you arrive. If you plan to cook, stop at the Vũng Tàu Central Morning Market 10 minutes away to pick up fresh lobster, squid, and tropical fruit for low prices. Wear sturdy walking shoes if you plan to hike to the Jesus Statue or Lighthouse, and bring cash for parking, since most small local lots don’t accept cards. For the quietest beach time, visit between Monday and Thursday, when the private beach outside the homestay is nearly empty, compared to busier weekends when Vietnamese day-trippers visit the coast.
