About FRONT AND BACK BEACH
A Coastal Setting Unlike Any Other
The Front and Back Beach venue at ibis Styles Vung Tau places events against one of Vietnam's most recognisable seaside backdrops. Vung Tau is a peninsula city, and its twin shorelines — Front Beach (Bãi Trước) and Back Beach (Bãi Sau) — define the character of this destination entirely. Events held at or in connection with this hotel-linked beach venue carry a distinctly relaxed, sun-drenched energy that is difficult to replicate in an urban ballroom, making it a compelling choice for planners seeking something genuinely different from a standard conference or banquet setup.
ibis Styles is an internationally recognised hotel brand under Accor, known for its bold design aesthetic and approachable hospitality. The Vung Tau property sits within the Thắng Tam ward, positioning guests within easy reach of both the calmer waters of Front Beach and the longer, livelier stretch of Back Beach — each offering a different atmosphere for different event formats. Whether an occasion calls for a composed sunrise breakfast briefing or a festive evening celebration with sea air and open sky, the coastal geography here provides a natural stage that few hotel venues in the region can match.
Events & Occasions
This venue suits a broad spectrum of gatherings. Corporate groups travelling from Ho Chi Minh City — approximately two hours by road — frequently choose Vung Tau for team-building retreats, incentive trips, and off-site strategy sessions, where the change of scenery from the city encourages engagement and creativity. The beach-adjacent setting also lends itself naturally to social events: birthday celebrations, anniversary dinners, farewell parties, and informal networking evenings all benefit from the relaxed coastal atmosphere.
For couples, the combination of an internationally branded hotel and a genuine beachfront location makes this an attractive option for pre-wedding events, engagement parties, or intimate destination celebrations. The ibis Styles brand's signature design-forward interiors complement rather than compete with the natural surroundings, giving event planners a backdrop that works indoors and out.
Accor's meetings and events infrastructure — accessible through the meetings.accor.com platform — means that enquiries, proposals, and coordination can be managed through a streamlined, professionally supported process, which is particularly valuable for corporate planners managing events across multiple Accor properties.
Location & Accessibility
Vung Tau sits on a peninsula in Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu Province, roughly 125 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh City by road. The city is accessible by coach, private transfer, or high-speed ferry from Ho Chi Minh City, with the ferry route being a popular choice for groups looking to add a scenic arrival experience to their itinerary. Thắng Tam ward, where ibis Styles Vung Tau is located, keeps guests close to the main beach promenades, local seafood restaurants, and the landmark Christ of Vung Tau statue visible on the hillside — a recognisable orientation point for first-time visitors.
For event groups arriving from Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau's compact, walkable beach district means attendees can move easily between the hotel, the beach, and local attractions without the need for extensive transport logistics.
