Local Attractions

Three can’t-miss nearby attractions make this location unbeatable. First, just 2 kilometers from the resort, Jesus Christ’s Statue sits atop Mount Nhô, offering sweeping panoramic views of Vũng Tàu’s coast and cityscape. The climb to the top is gentle, and the view from the statue’s outstretched arms is unforgettable at sunset. Second, Front Beach (Bãi Trước) is a 10-minute drive away, a bustling stretch of sand lined with seafood shacks, street food stalls, and local craft vendors—ideal for an evening stroll to sample fresh grilled squid. Third, Vũng Tàu Lighthouse on Big Mountain is 5 kilometers from the resort, the oldest operating lighthouse in Vietnam, dating back to 1862. The winding road up leads to unobstructed views of the South China Sea, and the small on-site museum offers fascinating insight into the region’s maritime history.

Travel Tips

Book your stay at least two weeks in advance during peak season (June to August) to secure a private pool villa with an ocean view. If you plan to explore local sights, ask the front desk to arrange a local motorbike rental for around $5 USD per day—it’s the easiest way to navigate Vũng Tàu’s coastal roads. Don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for rocky sections of the nearby shore. Finally, take advantage of the resort’s grocery delivery service to stock up on local fruit and fresh seafood from the nearby Vũng Tàu Market for a private barbecue by your pool—there’s no better way to experience Vietnamese coastal hospitality.
