Introduction
Imagine Mui Ne, once a secluded stretch of beach where pioneer travelers camped on the sand. Today, this village has evolved into a string of elegant seaside resorts, nestled in charming seaside gardens. The original fishing village is still present, but tourists now outnumber the inhabitants.
Mui Ne has a high-end image, with its trendy restaurants and trendy boutiques, while maintaining a relaxed (kite) surfer atmosphere.
