‍

Finally, the sound of crashing waves and the salty sea breeze welcome you. The stunning view of the beach and crystal-clear ocean is revealed.

What Sets Tu Nham Beach Apart

Tu Nham's appeal lies not only in its pristine shores but also in its unassuming charm. Unlike bustling tourist hubs, this hidden gem remains undeveloped, with only a handful of accommodations and dining options. Here, the beach stays untouched by the traces of mass tourism.

‍

‍

Additionally, the beach offers both convenience and seclusion, making it easily accessible yet still secluded from overtourism found in other popular destinations, such as the island of Phu Quoc or the famous Mui Ne beach in the south.

‍

The peaceful atmosphere and lack of crowds at Tu Nham Beach make it a hidden gem for those willing to venture off the beaten path.

Where to Stay

One of the best things about Tu Nham Beach is that there are limited accommodation options right by the beach. This makes the place more secluded.

‍

During our stay, we found comfort at Lucky Spot Bungalow, a tranquil retreat that exceeded our expectations. From clean, beach-facing rooms to delectable meals served with a smile, every moment at Lucky Spot felt like a dream. Book your stay at Lucky Spot Bungalow here!

Review of Lucky Spot Bungalow

**Disclaimer: We were not paid to stay at the hotel or use any promotional offers. Our review is based on our own experience and reflects our opinions.

‍

Staying at Lucky Spot Bungalow feels like entering a peaceful oasis of comfort and convenience. You can wake up, step outside your room, and find yourself right at the beach. Or you can enjoy the sunrise without leaving your room by simply opening your blinds and admiring its beauty while lying in bed.

‍

‍

Due to its small size, the bungalow creates a cozy atmosphere that is perfect for spending quality time with friends or family. Though the rooms are small, they have everything you need: comfortable beds, a hot shower, and air conditioning.

‍

Surrounded by lush palm trees, the gazebo at the bungalow's entrance attracts guests with its welcoming atmosphere. We spent most of our time just sitting here, enjoying delicious coconut coffees.

‍

‍

The restaurant provides a diverse selection of dishes and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For some items, however, you will need to preorder one day in advance, which is understandable since it's a small restaurant, and at least you’ll know it's fresh. However, there’s a local seafood restaurant just next door as an alternative.

‍

The English-speaking staff at the reception ensured seamless communication. They were able to assist us with all of our inquiries and were very accommodating.

‍

‍

While you may hear occasional karaoke sounds from the neighboring area, they serve as a gentle reminder of the vibrant local culture. Moreover, the karaoke sounds do not continue throughout the night, allowing for uninterrupted rest and relaxation. Though it didn't greatly disturb us, it could be bothersome for others, as we've noticed in other online reviews.

‍

In essence, Tu Nham Beach and Lucky Spot Bungalow offer a glimpse of paradise, where time slows down and every moment is filled with a feeling of tranquility.
