Banyan Tree Group has announced the upcoming launch of Vietnam’s first world-class integrated resort, Laguna Lang Co, on November 1, 2012.

Set on Central Vietnam’s tranquil coast, Laguna Lang Co is Banyan Tree’s first foray in the country, and echoes the ethos of Laguna Phuket, the company’s flagship integrated resort community in southern Thailand.  

Framed by a three kilometre beach and lush countryside, the 280-hectare Laguna Lang Co sits near Lang Co Bay in the Chan May region, overlooking the East Sea in an area renowned for its pristine coastline, tropical jungles, rugged mountain peaks and proximity to the country’s most well known UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the towns of Hue and Hoi, An along with the relics of My Son.

The bay offers privacy and unparalleled exclusivity and will include Banyan Tree and Angsana branded hotels and spas, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Sir Nick Faldo, private villas and residences available for sale, convention facilities and a plethora of recreational activities for guests of all ages.  BanyanTree Lang Co is poised to become the leading world-class holiday and premium second home destination in Southeast Asia.

Phase 1 of the project represents a $200 million investment funded through the Banyan Tree Indochina Hospitality Fund, the first real estate investment fund established by the Group in 2008.
“Banyan Tree has long been interested in establishing a presence in Vietnam to replicate the success of our flagship integrated resort in Phuket,” said Ho Kwon Ping, executive chairman of Banyan Tree Holdings, Ltd.  “Central Vietnam is an ideal foothold for our inaugural development in Indochina, with its natural beauty and areas of rich historical interest, such as Hue and Hoi An.  We are confident that Laguna Lang Co will flourish as a holiday and premium properties destination for both domestic and international luxury tourism.”

Hotels

Banyan Tree Lang Co offers a luxurious retreat from which to explore culturally rich Central Vietnam. Inspired by bygone Vietnamese dynasties, the resort features 32 one-bedroom lagoon villas (131sqm) and 17 one-bedroom beach villas (124sqm) set on the shores of Canh Duong Beach.  A spa offers Banyan Tree’s award-winning treatments and services, while the Marine Centre provides opportunities to learn about and explore the vibrant waters of the East Sea.

Banyan Tree’s sister hotel, Angsana Lang Co, is a contemporary getaway featuring 229 stylish suites (from 52sqm to 179sqm), 100 of which come equipped with their own private pools.  All suites in every room category feature picturesque mountain, lagoon, or sea views, and incorporate local materials such as bamboo and mother of pearl, along with traditional arts with a contemporary twist, lanterns and elegant framed calligraphy.

Lang Co Destination

Tucked away in the traditional Cu Du Village of Thua Thien Hue province, the rustic hinterland of Laguna Lang Co was long a favoured holiday retreat for Vietnamese royalty. The destination resonates with mystique and natural beauty and is accessible within an hour’s drive from the airports of both Danang and Hue.  Today Lang Co Bay is regarded as one of the most beautiful sites of its kind by the World’s Most Beautiful Bays Club.  

 A pristine white sand beach and sparkling turquoise waters are backed by lush hills and mountains, offering a dramatic setting from which to explore one of Vietnam’s most picturesque regions.  Laguna Lang Co sits at the crossroads of several distinctive UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the ancient capital city of Hue on the shores of the Perfume River, the charming and age-old city of Hoi An and the ruins of My Son, a sanctuary featuring a wealth of temples and monuments with intricate carvings.

Resort Residences

The resort residences offer an array of ownership opportunities with luxurious villas and condominium units with spectacular ocean views.  Taking inspiration from Vietnamese traditions and culture, each elegant one, two, or three-bedroom villa (from 158 sqm – 236 sqm) features a private plunge pool and world-class facilities along with the discerning service for which the group is renowned. Limited villas are available for sale, and ownership confers membership of Banyan Tree’s worldwide luxurious private residential community.

Angsana Residences Lang Co showcases the rich history of Vietnam with a modern twist. The first three-storey beachfront condominium development of its kind in Vietnam, each one- or two-bedroom Angsana Residences home (from 88 sqm to 254 sqm) features a contemporary aesthetic complemented by a modern plunge pool and breathtaking sea views.

Owners of Banyan Tree and Angsana Residences Lang Co will also enjoy exclusive privileges on global exchange programmes, golf memberships and other services offered within Laguna Lang Co.

Championship Golf Course

The Laguna Lang Co Golf Club, an 18-hole, 71 par championship course designed by Sir Nick Faldo, delivers a golfing experience that can be enjoyed by skilled and novice players alike. The site’s natural rugged terrain has been preserved, offering a distinctive course framed by mountains on three sides and the East Sea to the west.  The course weaves between soaring trees, flowing streams, verdant rice paddies and dramatic rock features.

Tours and Activities

Laguna Lang Co offers a wealth of activities to meet the needs of groups, couples and families. The Marine Centre features aquatic activities such as jet skiing, parasailing, water skiing, wind surfing, kayaking and banana boat rides, while the Activities Centre offers archery, mountain biking, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), kids’ ATVs, two-seater mini cars and horse riding.

The Handicraft Centre immerses guests in Vietnam’s rich artistic legacy with classes in various fine arts led by local masters.
