Son Tra

“The Quiet Beach Life”

Son Tra is where long-term expats settle once they've done the An Thuong circuit. Rents drop 30-40% for the same quality, apartments are bigger, views are better, and the neighborhood feels authentically Vietnamese. You'll trade nightlife and English menus for Monkey Mountain hikes, quiet beaches, and knowing your fruit vendor by name.
