Mũi Né
A second visit that became a routine
A coastal base where we could see ourselves staying longer. Our four core costs for two (rent, groceries, a scooter and health insurance) came to about US$1,240 a month.

City guide
Living in Mũi Né
We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on 11 August 2026 and went straight to Mũi Né for our second visit, staying 69 nights across two rentals. Our days start with laptops open by eight, friends or an activity around two, dinner at six or seven and bed by ten.
What a month cost us
Elephant House at US$20 a day for two (US$600 for 30 nights), groceries about US$400, one scooter rental US$40, and health insurance US$100 each. That US$1,240 excludes eating out, mobile plans, petrol and activities, so treat it as a starting point rather than a full budget.
The honest downside
Construction on the main road has been our main frustration, and local business owners feel it too. Before a long stay, ask for a current video of the street and the approach to the property.
Who it suits
Couples, slow travellers and mobile professionals who want a coastal base and are comfortable organising their own day. It is a weaker fit if you need a construction-free street or want every day planned for you.
