At the end of a village street in Xuyên Mộc, where asphalt gives way to paddies harvested by generations of local farmers, a cluster of bungalows with tile and straw roofs looks out over green fields. This is The Ruộng Resort, its name simply meaning "rice field" in Vietnamese. Designed by the H2 architecture studio and finished around 2019, the project was built by local workers using wood, iron trusses and traditional materials, and it later appeared in international architecture publications.
The resort has a swimming pool, a restaurant and free wifi, and each room has its own space for watching the fields. Ho Tram Beach and the Binh Chau Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve are about ten minutes by car. Since the 2025 administrative reform, the area belongs to Hồ Tràm commune within Ho Chi Minh City.
