Bursting with lush flora, beautiful beaches and idyllic fishing villages, your holiday in Phan Thiet is the chance to experience the natural beauty of Vietnam. Together with the nearby village of Mui Ne, peaceful Phan Thiet provides a welcome break from the chaos of the city while still offering plenty of intrepid travel.
As the capital of Bình Thuận Province, Phan Thiet occupies a picturesque spot on the southeast coast of Vietnam and is home to a number of pretty fishing villages and beach resorts, including the neighbouring and popular beach resort of Mui Ne. It’s easy for you to be drawn to the town by the stunning red sand dunes of Mui Ne. Climb to the top of the dunes at sunset for an idyllic view of the ocean, which is intensified by the deep red hue of the sweeping dunes. If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush then why not hire a dune buggy or sand-sled for a fun way to get back down?
Phan Thiet holidays offer laidback coastal charm with vibrant twist
You can continue to discover the dramatic landscape of Phan Thiet with the Fairy Stream. This is a natural rock formation and running stream known for its vibrant red, white, orange and pink hues. Marvel at the intricate patterns and be sure to take some pictures of this stunning natural wonder, which is flanked by sand dunes on one side and flowers and trees on the other. If you intend to visit Fairy Stream during your Phan Thiet holidays, take a change of shoes, as you’ll be wading through the crystal clear waters during your visit.
At Mui Ne’s fishing village, you can immerse yourself in the region’s proud fishing heritage and witness the colourful boats in the harbour. A trip at dawn gives you the chance to see local fishermen sorting their catch of the day. The harbour also has a number of seafood restaurants and gift shops, making it a pleasant place to spend a morning, rounded off with a seafood lunch.
Phan Thiet is famous for its fish sauce, which flavours nearly every Vietnamese dish and is often served as a dipping sauce.
As part of a wider tour of Vietnam, Phan Thiet is the perfect place to relax, unwind and see some of the country’s awesome natural beauty while taking a break from hectic city life.
