Vinpearl Resorts has revealed details of its next luxury hotel opening in Vietnam, the Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort, which is set to open its doors on October 30, 2015. The five-star Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort, with its 384 guestrooms and suites, is located on its own private Island, Dao Reu, and will boast spectacular views of the famous limestone outcrops in Ha Long Bay which stretch across the Gulf of Tonkin.
The property will feature six room categories ranging from 40 sqm Deluxe Garden Rooms to the two 350 sqm Presidential Suites, and all rooms have private balconies. Its facilities include six bars and restaurants, high speed complimentary WiFi and an extensive range of conference and meeting rooms.
Duong Thi Mai Hoa, Chief Executive Officer of Vinpearl’s parent company Vingroup, says: “We are delighted to be able to unveil details of our next exciting resort opening, the Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort. Not only is the property our first in the major tourism centre area and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay it’s a perfect complement to our existing portfolio of five hotels based in Danang and our two integrated resort centres on Phu Quoc island and Hon Tre Island, near NhaTrang.
“With its breath-taking location amid the famous limestone karst pillars that have made Halong Bay such an instantly recognisable international tourist attraction, Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort enjoys an unsurpassed setting in an unparalleled environment which simply cries out to be explored. The resort’s setting just minutes by speedboat from the mainland also offers the best of both worlds, mixing convenience and ease of access with the exclusivity only a private island can provide. Moreover, it’s a great addition for travel agents and their clients looking to book twin or multi-centre holidays in what is arguably the hottest destination in Asia right now – Vietnam.”
Families will appreciate the Kids Club, babysitting service, the programme of local sightseeing tours and excursions, and room options such as the 80 sqm Family Suites, with baby cots provided in room upon request. Active options include the two tennis courts; a choice of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the latter measuring 1,025 sqm; and a wide range of watersports offered beachside and at the pool – all backed by the signature Vincharm Spa and a choice of three stunning beaches.
Other services available to guests include a free welcome drink and complimentary transport 24/7 between the mainland and the island by speedboat.
As Duong Thi Mai Hoa pointed out, Vinpearl’s latest announcement is the latest in a string of recent developments set to boost tourism in Vietnam. Starting from July 01, 2015, for example, citizens of the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain no longer need to acquire a Visa for stays of 15 days or less. Plus, Vietnam Airlines has launched a new non-stop service to Vietnam from London Heathrow using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners – the first airline to launch such a service between Europe and South East Asia.
Parent company Vingroup established its hospitality brand Vinpearl in Vietnam in 2001.
Vingroup currently operates five Vinpearl resort properties in Vietnam ─ the Vinpearl Resort Phu Quoc; Vinpearl Premium Da Nang; Vinpearl Resort Nha Trang; Vinpearl Luxury Nha Trang; and Vinpearl Premium Nha Trang Bay, which opened on April 30, 2015.
Vingroup also operates Vincharm Spas in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Danang, as well as on Hon Tre and Phu Quoc islands. In addition it operates Vinpearl Land amusement parks and Championship-standard Vinpearl Golf Clubs on Hon Tre Island and Phu Quoc Island.
The operator will open three more resorts by the end of 2015, bringing its portfolio to eight. In addition to the Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort these will comprise a second hotel on Phu Quoc Island, the Vinpearl Premium Phu Quoc (November), and a fourth property on Hon Tre Island, the Vinpearl Premium Golf Land NhaTrang (December). All resorts will feature its own Vincharm Spa with at least 15 treatment beds.
