Top Local Attractions

Three must-visit spots are all within a 15-minute drive of Vuta Hotel:

• Vũng Tàu Back Beach (Bãi Sau): Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this 8-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand is the city’s most popular swimming spot, lined with casual seafood shacks and beach chairs for rent. Catch a vibrant pink sunset over the South China Sea here after a day of exploring.
• Jesus Christ Statue (Tượng Chúa Giêsu): Perched atop Mount Nhỏ, just 3 kilometers from the hotel, this 32-meter tall statue is Vũng Tàu’s most iconic landmark. Climb the 1000+ steps to the viewing platform inside the statue’s outstretched arms for panoramic views of the entire coast and city.
• Vũng Tàu Lighthouse: Dating back to the French colonial era, this historic lighthouse sits on the top of Cape Vũng Tàu, 5 kilometers from the hotel. The winding drive up offers stunning coastal views, and the lighthouse grounds are a perfect spot for picnics away from the beach crowds.

Travel Tips

If you’re visiting from Ho Chi Minh City, book a private car or limousine for the 2-hour drive, and let the hotel know in advance to reserve your free parking spot. Vũng Tàu is hottest and most humid between June and August; visit between November and February for cool, dry beach weather. Always carry cash, as small local restaurants and beach vendors rarely accept cards. The hotel’s central location means you can walk to most local restaurants and the beach, but hire a local motorbike taxi (xe om) for just a few dollars to visit the mountain attractions for a more convenient trip.
