Highlights

Hon Rom:

This place has a strange attraction because there are many strange-shaped rocks facing the sea. Especially in the rainy season, the whole mountain is covered with the deep green of nature. In the dry season, it is covered with yellow grass. Looking from afar, Hon Rom is like a giant mound of wheat straw. That’s why it is named Hon Rom (lands of straws).

Red Sand Dunes:

The brilliant color of the sand is a magnet for many visitors. A rough calculation shows that there are up to 18 different colors in Mui Ne Red Sand Dunes. 

Bau Trang - Bau Sen:

Bau Trang - Bau Sen is 18km from Hon Rom. These are two natural freshwater lakes located between immense white sandhills. In Bau Trang, you can admire the lotus bloom in the middle of the white sandhill in the summer. On the other hand, Bau Sen is a vast lake with deep blue water surrounded by pure beautiful crystal sand dunes.

Suoi Tien (Fairy Spring):

Fairy Spring is a small stream located next to Hon Rom. Next to the stream are naturally red and white stalactites. The erosion of time and weather has created strange and exotic shapes, adding soul to the rocks.

Fishing Village in Mui Ne:

The fishing village of Mui Ne is located about 3 km to the north of the city center. At the entrance to the village, you can see hundreds of colorful fishing boats anchored on the beachfront. Not far from the port is a small colorful market with the peaceful beauty of the Southwest countryside, typified by the coconut palms
