Ten minutes’ drive from the hotel, Jesus Christ’s Statue (Núi Nhỏ) sits atop Small Mountain, offering panoramic views of the South China Sea and Vung Tau’s city skyline; the climb up is gentle, with shaded rest stops along the way.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (June to August) and Vietnamese public holidays, as this popular property fills up quickly. If you’re arriving from Ho Chi Minh City, the hotel’s paid airport shuttle can pick you up from Tan Son Nhat International Airport roughly two hours away, for a seamless transfer. Don’t miss the daily breakfast—most guests rave about the variety of both Vietnamese and Western options. Pack sunscreen for days by the rooftop pool, and leave room in your bag for fresh dried fruits and local seafood to take home from the night market just 10 minutes’ walk from the hotel.
