Travel Tips

Book airport transfers in advance to avoid waiting for taxis upon arrival in Tuy Hoa, and notify staff if you plan to bring your pet, as a small extra fee may apply. For the best experience, stock up on fresh produce and seafood from Tuy Hoa’s central morning market 5 minutes from the guesthouse to cook in the shared kitchen. The best time to visit Phu Yen is between February and August, when seas are calm and rainfall is minimal – pack sturdy hiking shoes for Mui Dien trails and reef-safe sunscreen for beach days. Finally, don’t forget to end your day with a barbecue on the guesthouse’s terrace while watching the sun set over the coast.
