Nearby Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are just a short drive from Villa BAY:

• Vung Tau Front Beach (Bãi Sau): A 10-minute walk from the villa, this golden sweep of sand is perfect for morning swims, sunset strolls, and sampling fresh grilled squid from street vendors along the promenade. Unlike busier Southeast Asian beaches, it retains a relaxed, local feel even on weekends.
• Jesus Christ Statue (Núi Nhỏ): Perched atop Small Mountain, 15 minutes from the villa, this iconic 32-meter statue offers panoramic views of the South China Sea and Vung Tau’s skyline. Visitors can climb the internal staircase to the statue’s shoulders for an unbeatable photo opportunity.
• Vung Tau Lighthouse: Located on Big Mountain, just 20 minutes away, this 19th-century French colonial lighthouse is one of the oldest in Vietnam. The winding drive up the mountain passes tropical forest and hidden lookouts, and the top of the lighthouse offers sweeping views of the coastline.

Travel Tips

If you’re driving from Ho Chi Minh City, the free on-site parking makes Villa BAY a hassle-free stop. Pack light if you’re bringing your pet: the villa allows pets with no extra fees, so you don’t have to leave your furry companion behind. Book a room with a jacuzzi for a romantic treat, and stop by the nearby Cho Vung Tau morning market to pick up fresh seafood to cook in your villa’s kitchenette. Visit between May and October for warm, sunny beach days, and book at least two weeks in advance for weekend and holiday stays to secure your preferred room.
