Where to stay in Mui Ne: beach, kitesurfing or budget
Updated 3 November 2026 · 3 min read
In short
In Mui Ne, everything lines the seafront road, Nguyen Dinh Chieu. Choose the central part of the bay for the beach and kitesurfing, and Ham Tien, further east, for small budgets and easy access to the Red Dunes. Pick a hotel with direct beach access: the beach is narrower in places.

Our advice
- 2 nights: a hotel in the central bay with beach access.
- Kitesurfing: come from November to April, when wind is most regular.
- Sunrise on the dunes: book the trip the day before, as it leaves very early.
