Vung Tau Hotels: City Beach or Quiet Resort? How to Choose Where to Stay (A Weekend Trip from Ho Chi Minh City)

ブンタウのホテル選びは、「街の海を楽しむ旅」と「リゾートから出ずに休む旅」を分けるところから始まります。バックビーチなら海水浴、食事、街の観光を組み合わせやすく、ホーチャムなら大型リゾートで静かに過ごしやすい一方、ブンタウ中心部との往復には時間がかかります。

注意したいのは、ホーチャムをブンタウ市街の隣のビーチのように考えないことです。現地観光情報では市街から約40〜50km、車で1時間以上を見込む案内もあり、同じ日に市街観光とリゾート滞在を詰め込むと慌ただしくなります。この記事では、バックビーチ周辺とホーチャムの宿を分け、Googleマップの営業状況と評価を確認した宿だけを掲載しています（評価は2026年7月確認）。

※Googleマップの評価や件数、道路の所要時間は変動します。予約前には公式サイトで営業状況、改装、プールやビーチ設備、子どもの条件、送迎、朝食、キャンセル条件を確認してください。本記事は予約リンクを置かず、位置確認用のGoogleマップだけを掲載しています。

先に結論：1泊なら街、2泊以上ならリゾートも候補

• 初めてのブンタウ・1泊：バックビーチ。食事と観光の選択肢が多く、短い滞在を組みやすいです。
• ホテル内で静かに過ごす：ホーチャム。移動日は余白を取り、街へ戻る前提を減らすと満足しやすくなります。
• 週末に行く：道路混雑を前提に、到着時刻でなくチェックイン可能時間と夕食予約から逆算します。
• 子ども連れ：ビーチの目の前か、キッズ施設のあるリゾートかを優先し、添い寝・朝食料金まで確認します。

How to spend your time in Vung Tau — weekend beaches and light sightseeing

Vung Tau is a town beloved as an easygoing weekend beach getaway from Ho Chi Minh City. The usual plan centers on swimming and fresh seafood, mixed with a bit of light sightseeing: the giant hilltop statue of Christ (you can climb it for the view), the Hai Dang lighthouse, and a temple with a reclining Buddha. It makes a fine day trip, but staying overnight lets you relax on the beach.

If you want to enjoy the sea, strolling around town, and grazing on seafood, staying along the town beach is convenient. If you'd rather get well away from the city bustle and spend your time in peace and quiet, it's also worth going a little farther to hole up at one of the large resorts in Ho Tram.

Before you settle on a hotel ── tips for a trip to Vung Tau

Keep these three points in mind, including a few that are unique to Vung Tau as an easy getaway from Ho Chi Minh City.

• Weekends get busy, so book early: Vung Tau is the weekend beach for Ho Chi Minh City locals. On weekends and holidays, both the hotels and the roads get crowded. If your trip overlaps with those times, booking your room early is the safe bet.
• Read the star rating together with the number of reviews: Even a 4.9-star rating doesn't mean much if it's based on only a few dozen reviews. Hotels with a high star rating AND a large number of reviews are far less likely to disappoint.
• Choose by whether you want to be out in town or tucked away: Choose by what you want — the city beach if you'd like to combine sightseeing and swimming, or Ho Tram if you'd rather tuck yourself away somewhere quiet. Ho Tram is a way out from the center, so check your transport options in advance.

Summary — in Vung Tau, it comes down to the town beach or quiet Ho Tram

ブンタウで街歩き、海鮮、軽い観光を詰め込みたいならバックビーチ、ホテル内で静かに休みたいならホーチャムが向いています。ホーチャムは市街から40〜50kmほど離れる案内もあるため、「少し足をのばす」以上の移動として考えるのが安全です。

宿を決める前に、滞在日数、移動手段、ホテル外へ出る回数を決めてください。評価点だけでなく、最新の営業状況、改装、設備、子ども料金、送迎、キャンセル条件を公式情報で確認すると、旅の目的に合う宿を選びやすくなります。
