Resorts in Saigon

True beach resorts require a trip to Vung Tau (2 hours) or Phu Quoc (flight), but Saigon has resort-style properties that deliver pool time and tropical greenery without leaving the city. Thao Dien's low-rise compounds along Xa Lo Ha Noi feature lush gardens, swimming pools, and an atmosphere far removed from central Saigon's intensity.

District 7's Phu My Hung neighbourhood has several mid-rise properties with resort amenities — pools, spas, fitness centres — surrounded by landscaped parks and waterways. These suit families and longer-stay visitors who want daily routines beyond tourism. For a genuine resort experience, consider pairing a few city nights with a Mekong Delta riverside lodge or a Vung Tau beachfront property.
