From the steady winds of Mui Ne to the flat-water lagoons of Phan Rang, Vietnam has become a kitesurfer’s dream. Along the coast, we found some amazing places to stay — from beachfront kite hotels and surf camps to cozy bungalows just steps from the launch. Whether you’re here for freestyle sessions, wave riding, or just soaking in the tropical vibe, these stays are perfectly placed for easy access to the best kitesurfing spots. Below, you’ll find our favorite kite-friendly accommodations — each with its own charm, community, and unbeatable location by the water. Book early if you can — the best ones fill up fast when the wind’s on!
The main kitesurfing season in Vietnam runs from October through April, with the peak months from November to March — this is when the wind (the northeast monsoon / winter wind) is most consistent and reliable.
Kite sizes will depend on the spot and wind conditions — for many spots (e.g., Mui Ne, My Hoa Lagoon / Phan Rang, Ninh Chu, Vung Tau) riders commonly use 7 m to 12 m kites depending on weight, wind and style of riding. If you’re around 75 kg and want a versatile quiver, a 9 m + 11 m setup might cover many typical conditions — though riding schools often provide gear if you don’t want to bring your own.
Many of the recommended stays (beachfront resorts, kite-centric guesthouses and lagoon-side lodges) offer direct beach or lagoon access, often within a few minutes walk of the water or launch area.
Not necessarily — if you stay at one of the beachfront / kite-friendly accommodations, you may be close enough to launch without transport. That said, having a scooter or motorbike can be helpful, especially if you want to explore different spots or access more remote beaches. Many riders recommend a scooter for convenience in areas like Mui Ne.
Yes — most major Vietnam kite spots (especially Mui Ne, My Hoa Lagoon / Phan Rang, and other popular beaches) have professional kite schools and rental centers. For example, in Mui Ne there are multiple kite-schools operating along the beach.
