Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions are within easy reach of the homestay: First, Back Beach (Bãi Sau), Vũng Tàu’s most popular stretch of sand, is just 4 kilometers from the homestay. This 8-kilometer crescent of golden sand is lined with coconut palms, and it’s ideal for swimming, sunrise walks, or renting a lounge chair for a lazy day of sun-watching. Come evening, the beachfront transforms into a lively night market serving fresh grilled seafood and cold local beer. Second, the Christ of Vũng Tàu statue perched on Mount Nhỏ is a 15-minute drive from the homestay. This 32-meter tall white marble statue offers sweeping panoramic views of the South China Sea and the entire Vũng Tàu coastline; the short climb up to the statue is shaded and gentle enough for most fitness levels. Third, Vũng Tàu Seafood Market in central Vũng Tàu is less than 3 kilometers from the homestay. Here you can browse the day’s catch of fresh lobster, squid, prawns, and clams, and many nearby stalls will cook your selection for a small fee, for a unbeatable fresh seafood meal.

Travel Tips

Book your parking spot when you confirm your homestay reservation, as spots fill up quickly during peak holiday weekends (especially Vietnamese New Year and summer vacation). Renting a motorbike is the easiest way to get around Vũng Tàu, and most rental agencies can deliver a bike directly to the homestay for a low daily fee. Bring cash, as the homestay does not accept card payments, and most local street food stalls and small seafood restaurants also prefer cash. Visit between November and March for cool, dry weather ideal for beach days, and avoid the rainy monsoon season from May to October when afternoon showers can interrupt outdoor plans.
