Attractions

Three standout local attractions are within easy reach of the resort:

• Ho Tram Beach: Just steps from the resort, this 15-kilometer stretch of undeveloped coastline is far less crowded than Vung Tau’s popular city beaches. Walk the shore at dawn to spot local fishing boats heading out, or lounge on the soft sand for a day of swimming and sunbathing.
• Binh Chau Hot Springs: A 25-minute drive from the resort, this natural geothermal park features mineral-rich hot pools ranging from 30°C to 60°C, hiking trails through lush pine forest, and natural mud baths. It’s the perfect day trip for anyone looking to add extra relaxation to their itinerary.
• Xuyen Moc National Park: A 40-minute drive inland, this protected coastal park is home to diverse wildlife, including rare black-shanked douc langurs, wild boar, and over 200 species of birds. Guided jungle hikes and night wildlife spotting tours let visitors explore its diverse ecosystems, from mangrove forests to sand dunes.

Travel Tips

Book your spa treatment in advance, as popular massage slots fill up quickly during peak holiday seasons (December to February, when Vietnam’s cool dry weather makes for ideal beach conditions). If you’re traveling from Ho Chi Minh City, arrange a private transfer through the resort for a stress-free journey, or rent a car to explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Bring cash for local market visits and off-site activities, as small vendors in nearby Ho Tram village rarely accept card payments. Finally, pack sunscreen and insect repellent for day trips to the national park and hot springs, as shaded areas can be limited on hiking trails.
