Mui Ne is a coastal strip in Vietnam's Binh Thuan province famed for its towering red and white sand dunes and near-constant winds that have made it one of Asia's top kitesurfing and windsurfing destinations. Once a quiet fishing village, it now blends beach resorts and dune tours with a still-visible working fishing harbour.

Getting thereMui Ne has no airport or train station of its own; most travellers fly into Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City and continue by bus (~4-5 hours) or by train to nearby Phan Thiet Railway Station followed by a short taxi transfer. Open-tour buses from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat, or Nha Trang are the most common and reliable way in.
How long to stayPlan on ~2-3 days to cover the main sights - the red and white sand dunes, Fairy Stream, and a kitesurfing or beach session - with extra time if you want to properly learn to kite or windsurf.
