Nestled along the golden shores of Back Beach (Bãi Sau) in Vũng Tàu, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Minh Phước Villa 12 Kim Ngân is the perfect escape for travelers craving a quiet, private beach retreat just two hours from bustling Ho Chi Minh City. This standalone villa blends home-like comfort with resort-style amenities, making it ideal for family getaways, group trips, or romantic coastal holidays.

Hotel Overview

Located at 12 Khu biệt thự Kim Ngân, this property sits steps from the soft sand of Back Beach, with its own exclusive private beach area and two free outdoor pools. The first pool features a shallow wading section perfect for young children, complete with water toys and sun loungers, while the second is a scenic hill-view pool with a shaded rain shelter and safety barriers for peace of mind.

The fully self-contained villa offers multiple bedrooms with spacious wardrobes and changing areas, a full kitchen fitted with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, washing machine, and all necessary cooking utensils, and a comfortable living room with a flat-screen TV and dedicated dining space. All areas benefit from free property-wide WiFi and complimentary private on-site parking, with no advance reservation required. Additional perks include airport shuttle service (for an extra fee), bicycle rental to explore the coastline, daily housekeeping, and multilingual staff that speak both Vietnamese and English. All rooms are non-smoking, hypoallergenic, and soundproofed for a peaceful night’s sleep, with private balconies and outdoor dining terraces overlooking the ocean, pools, or lush tropical gardens.

Local Attractions

Just 10 minutes’ drive from the villa, Vũng Tàu’s iconic Christ the King Statue perches atop Mount Nhỏ, offering sweeping panoramic views of the South China Sea and the city’s coastline. The gentle hike to the statue is shaded by banyan trees, making it a pleasant morning activity. For a taste of local history and culture, the Vũng Tàu Lighthouse, 15 minutes from the villa, is one of Vietnam’s oldest operating lighthouses, built in 1862, with a small on-site museum and unmatched sunset views. Food lovers should not miss the Vũng Tàu Night Market, a 10-minute drive away, where you can sample fresh grilled squid, papaya salad, and crispy banh khot rice cakes at local street stalls.

Travel Tips

Book the airport transfer service in advance for a stress-free arrival from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, around a 1.5-hour drive away. If you plan to cook at the villa, stop at the nearby Co.opmart supermarket on your way into town to stock up on fresh seafood and local produce. Note that extra towels and linens incur a small additional fee, so pack beach towels if you prefer to avoid this charge. Visit between November and April for calm, warm waters perfect for swimming and sunbathing, before the rainy season arrives in May. For day trips, rent a bicycle directly from the villa to cycle the scenic Back Beach coastal path, which runs right past the property’s entrance.
