Mũi Né in May
Good time to visit
May brings serious heat that challenges even heat-lovers. The upside? Rock-bottom prices and empty beaches reward those who can handle the sweltering temperatures.
Weather
Full hot season arrives with punishing 34°C highs and warm 27°C nights. Humidity soars above 80% and brief afternoon downpours become common. The heat feels oppressive by midday.

All Months
November through April is prime time. The weather stays dry, temperatures hover around 26-30°C, and the wind conditions are perfect for kitesurfing. December and January are peak months — expect higher prices and more crowds, especially around Christmas and Tet. But here's what most guides don't tell you: the shoulder months (November and April) actually offer the best value. Hotels drop their rates, the beaches aren't packed, and you still get great weather. May through October brings rain and humidity, plus the wind dies down, making it useless for water sports. The red sand dunes turn muddy, and half the tour operators shut down. If you're coming just for the beaches and don't care about activities, the rainy season means rock-bottom accommodation prices — just pack an umbrella.
