Travel Guide: Private Villa at Oceanami Resort, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province

Tucked away along the quiet, sun-drenched coast of Chợ Phước Hải in Vietnam’s Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, the Private Villa at Oceanami Resort offers a secluded coastal escape far from the crowds of Ho Chi Minh City, just a two-hour drive north. Perfect for family getaways, romantic retreats, or slow group holidays, this standalone villa prioritizes privacy and relaxation for travelers looking to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with the sea.

Hotel Overview

Set in a completely independent building with a private entrance, the villa spans multiple living areas to accommodate groups and families, with spacious non-smoking rooms fitted with air conditioning, comfortable seating, and flat-screen satellite TVs. A full kitchen comes equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, and all the cookware and cleaning supplies you need for self-catered stays, while the bathroom includes a separate shower, bathtub option, plush bathrobes, slippers, and free complimentary toiletries.

Outdoors, the villa features its own private pool, plus exclusive access to Oceanami’s private beach area, an infinity-edge outdoor swimming pool open year-round, a poolside bar, and barbecue facilities for evening cookouts. On-site amenities include a full restaurant and bar serving special dietary menus on request, daily housekeeping, and free private parking with electric vehicle charging stations. Note that the property does not offer internet, making it ideal for a true digital detox. English and Vietnamese are spoken by staff, and accessibility is limited to upper floors accessible only by stairs.

Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this location even more appealing:

• Ho Coc Beach: Just 15 minutes’ drive from the villa, this unspoiled stretch of soft golden sand is framed by limestone cliffs and dense tropical jungle, with almost no development. It’s perfect for quiet picnics, swimming in calm clear waters, and watching local fishermen haul in their daily catch at sunrise.
• Vung Tau Lighthouse: A 45-minute drive along the coast, this iconic 19th-century lighthouse sits atop Nui Lon Mountain, offering sweeping panoramic views of the South China Sea and the Vung Tau coastline. The surrounding gardens are filled with frangipani trees, making it a popular spot for sunset photos.
• Jesus Christ Statue of Vung Tau: Also on Nui Lon Mountain, this 32-meter-tall standing statue of Christ is one of Vietnam’s most recognizable religious landmarks. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase inside the statue to the observation deck in its outstretched arms for unrivaled coastal views.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance during peak dry season (November to April), when coastal weather is ideal and private villas fill up quickly. If you plan to cook at the villa, stop at the local Chợ Phước Hải morning market on your way in to pick up fresh seafood, tropical fruit, and local spices for a fraction of restaurant prices. Since there is no on-site internet, download offline maps and any entertainment you want before arriving, and bring cash for local market purchases and small local restaurants, as many do not accept cards. Finally, pack reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent for days spent exploring the beach and nearby jungle trails.
