Mui Ne at a glance
Mui Ne is a coastal village in Binh Thuan province, about 4-5 hours by road from Ho Chi Minh City, that grew from a fishing settlement into Vietnam's best-known kitesurfing and windsurfing resort strip. The pace here is slower than the cities — a low-rise run of beachfront resorts along one main road, with the fishing boats still going out from the harbour each morning.
What sets Mui Ne apart in Southeast Asia is its desert scenery: the Red Sand Dunes and the larger White Sand Dunes sit inland from the coast, an unusual sight in a country better known for rice paddies and rainforest, and both are popular for sunrise or sunset visits, including jeep and quad-bike excursions across the dunes.
Strong, consistent coastal wind from November to April has made Mui Ne one of Asia's established kite and windsurfing destinations, with schools and equipment rental available directly on the main beach strip — worth mentioning to agents selling to active or adventure-minded clients.
