Located about 110 km from Ho Chi Minh City and 70 km from Long Thanh International Airport, Vung Tau will be conveniently connected via the CT28 expressway, scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. Under the new administrative model effective from July 1, 2025, Vung Tau will become a ward directly under Ho Chi Minh City, opening a new chapter in the dynamic and modern development of this coastal region.

Since the early 16th century, during the height of global maritime exploration, the area now known as Vung Tau served as a stopover for European explorers, providing fresh water, firewood, and provisions for long sea voyages. From 1775 onward, Portuguese and French ships frequently visited Vung Tau for trade, giving rise to the French name Cap Saint-Jacques. By the 1930s, the term O Cap – a Vietnamese adaptation of Au Cap – also came into use and is still commonly used by locals in southern Vietnam today.

With its picturesque coastline, long beaches such as Bai Truoc, Bai Sau, Bai Dau, and Bai Dua, along with cultural and historical sites, luxury hotels, and fresh seafood, Vung Tau is not only an ideal destination for leisure tourism but also an attractive location for team building and MICE activities, where experiences, nature, and team spirit come together. Furthermore, the warm, pleasant, and relatively dry climate – with an average of over 300 sunny days per year and fresh mornings even during the rainy season from May to October – creates perfect conditions for outdoor activities, making team-building experiences on the beach or amid lush natural landscapes even more fulfilling.

Beach Team Building in Vung Tau

Bai Sau Beach in Vung Tau stretches approximately 10 km from Nghinh Phong Cape to Cua Lap Mouth, continuing for several more kilometers toward Ho Tram. The beach features soft sand, gentle waves, and refreshing sea breezes throughout the day. The Bai Sau redevelopment project was completed and officially opened on April 30, 2025, introducing a refreshed landscape with green parks, plazas, dining spaces, and public amenities, replacing older facilities along Thuy Van Street.

When the tide recedes, the beach expands, and the rows of casuarina trees cast peaceful shadows, creating an ideal setting for outdoor activities. The stunning coastal scenery not only offers a sense of relaxation but also fosters team bonding. Fresh coconut water and light snacks provide the perfect balance of energy and leisure.

Designed by Exotic Vietnam, this team-building program combines fun, challenges, and teamwork. Activities range from relay races and inflatable obstacle challenges to strategic games that encourage collaboration and problem-solving. It is the perfect choice for businesses seeking to inspire team spirit and create unforgettable memories in a beautiful seaside setting.

The Long Son Grand House, or Ong Tran Temple, built between 1910 and 1929 on a 2-hectare site, is a complex of traditional wooden architecture with intricate carvings.

Long Son Island is famous for its oyster, shrimp, and fish farming houses – serving both as aquaculture facilities and places for visitors to enjoy fresh seafood straight from the sea. Nicknamed the “Oyster Island”, it offers high-quality oysters along with other local specialties such as snails, squid, fish, and octopus.
