TP.HCM is about 190 km from Mũi Né (about 170 km to the center of Phan Thiết). Since the Dầu Giây – Phan Thiết expressway opened, coaches take 3 hours 30 to 4 hours 30 instead of 5–6 hours via National Highway 1 as before — short enough to leave in the morning and be at the beach by noon.
How many km from Sài Gòn to Mũi Né and how long does it take?
- Distance: about 170 km to the center of Phan Thiết, plus about 20 km along the coast to the Mũi Né resort area.
- Time: 3 hours 30 to 4 hours 30 depending on departure time and drop-off point in Mũi Né.
- Route: TP.HCM → Long Thành – Dầu Giây expressway → Dầu Giây – Phan Thiết expressway → Phan Thiết → coastal Nguyễn Đình Chiểu street → Mũi Né.
- Before the expressway: National Highway 1 via Xuân Lộc, Hàm Tân took 5–6 hours. Now almost all bus operators have switched to the expressway.

Which trip to take?
The 7:30 to 9:00 AM trip arrives in Mũi Né around 11:00–13:00, just in time for check-in with the whole afternoon left to hit the beach or visit the sand dunes. If you work all day before leaving, the trip around 22:00 arrives after midnight — only choose this if the resort has confirmed late check-in.
Tips for this route
Shared buses drop passengers off at fixed points on Nguyễn Đình Chiểu street; this road is over 10 km long, so if your resort is far from the drop-off point, factor in a short taxi ride or choose a private car for door-to-door service. On weekends and holidays, the return trip to Sài Gòn on Sunday often books up earlier than the outbound trip — book a round-trip ticket right away if your return date is confirmed.
