Long Hai is well known in Vietnam as the choice of beach residence for Bao Dai, the last Emperor of Vietnam who chose this tranquil area, now just 90 minutes from Saigon, as the location for his beachside retreat.

The climate here is considerably drier than much of the south of Vietnam due to its particular microclimate, and the proximity to Saigon makes it a very convenient option for a beach resort near Saigon.

Weekdays are ideal for a visit to Long Hai, with a tranquil ambience, whilst at weekends, expect the atmosphere to step up a notch with local visitors visiting the beaches and resorts.

Vung Tau is a big resort city just a few minutes drive away, with plenty of attractions for those looking for more places to go out.

Anoasis Long Hai is a charming boutique hotel in Long Hai and highly recommended for a few days of r’n’r after a hectic tour of Vietnam.
