As the year wound down and the weather turned crisp, my family and I decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and retreat to the serene shores of Mui Ne. Little did we know, our getaway to the Centara Mirage Mui Ne would transport us to a winter wonderland right in the heart of Vietnam.
Emphasizing the Mediterranean theme and warm welcome
As soon as I arrived, I felt like I had stumbled upon a miniature Mediterranean oasis in the heart of Mui Ne. Vibrant bougainvillea greeted guests, standing out against the backdrop of charming red-tiled houses peeking through lush coconut trees. The architecture, with its curved arches, warm terracotta walls, and seamless blend with nature, created a magnificent yet intimate setting.
Upon entering the lobby, I was immediately welcomed with friendly smiles and attentive service. A refreshing detox drink and cool mint towel helped to soothe my journey. These small gestures truly showcased the thoughtful and professional service at Centara Mirage Mui Ne.
Adventure Seeker’s Paradise
Inspired by oceanic adventures, the resort boasts 984 rooms and pool villas cascading down a hillside overlooking the sea. Designed as an “Explorer’s Playground,” it offers a wide range of recreational activities: a convention center accommodating over 1,000 guests, an outdoor theater, a variety of specialty restaurants, the Faro observation tower with panoramic views of the East Sea, and Cenvaree and Candy Spas – creating the perfect getaway for families and friends.
A Lush Green Oasis
This resort is a collection of charming villas, each a private oasis with spacious gardens. Every corner of the garden is meticulously cared for with a variety of Mediterranean plants. Tall palm trees with wide, spreading leaves provide a cool, green shade from the summer sun. Interspersed are lush rosemary bushes, exuding a fragrant aroma that brings a sense of peace and comfort.
The vibrant colors of various flowers add a fresh and lively touch to the space. Paper flowers cascade gracefully down white walls, while tigon vines climb around window frames, and bright yellow bellflowers line the pathways… All blend together to create a stunningly beautiful natural painting.
Beyond the lush greenery and vibrant flowers, Centara Mirage Mui Ne skillfully incorporates charming water features, creating a soothing, babbling sound. Waking up in the serene green space of Centara Mirage Mui Ne is an incredible experience. Taking a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air filled with the sweet scent of plants and flowers, all senses are awakened.
Brewing a hot cup of tea, choosing a favorite book, and finding a quiet corner in the garden to lose myself in the pages is truly blissful. At that moment, all the stress and fatigue of everyday life seem to melt away. My mind is completely at ease, immersed in the peace and tranquility of nature. Time seems to stand still, leaving only a sense of calm and happiness.
The Legendary Lighthouse
A standout feature is the majestic lighthouse standing tall in the heart of the resort. From here, I can take in the panoramic view, admiring the harmonious blend of unique architecture, lush greenery, and pristine sandy beaches. In the evenings, the resort comes alive with the soothing sounds of live music, the cheerful chatter of guests, and the laughter of children as they receive gifts from playful clowns.

The highlight of this meal was the premium Australian Black Angus steak, cooked to perfection, tender and sweet, melting in the mouth.
Our final dinner at Centara Mirage Mui Ne was a symphony of Italian flavors.

The 3-level outdoor infinity pool and water park at Centara Mirage Mui Ne is truly a paradise for the whole family. The pool faces the East Sea, creating a feeling of endless water and is the perfect spot for those “million-like” check-in photos.
