December is very-high for Mui Ne.
December is full dry-season + kitesurfing peak + the year's second peak tourist crush. Christmas-New Year week (Dec 22-Jan 2) brings elevated hotel pricing (+40-60% above shoulder) and significant Russian + Saigon internal-tourism surges. Weather conditions return to near-peak January quality: 2 rainy days, 15mm rainfall, sunshine 9 hours, 18-20+ knot winds, White Sand Dunes sunrise + Red Sand Dunes sunset at peak photogenic quality. Kitesurfing schools at full capacity — book 1 week ahead during peak. The trade-off is real but modest: moderate pricing premium + Russian + Saigon weekend crowds in exchange for ideal weather + peak kitesurfing. December 1-19 is the smart-money window — peak weather + peak kitesurfing at pre-Christmas pricing. The Anantara private beach NYE setup ($150-400) + Cham Villas Christmas pool villa packages are the canonical luxury celebrations.
