Mandarin Oriental has signed a management
agreement for a new resort with
branded residences in Vietnam’s Phu Yen province.
The resort is being developed by Indochina Kajima,
a joint venture between Indochina Capital in Vietnam and Kajima
Development in Singapore (a subsidiary of Kajima Corporation
in Japan).
The project is scheduled to
open in 2026 and will be the group’s third property in Vietnam.
“We look forward to working with Mandarin Oriental
on creating an unique property in a stunning pristine location
with an unrivalled offering of exceptional experiences,” said
Peter Ryder, Indochina Capital’s CEO. “It is a pleasure to partner
with one of the most prestigious brands in luxury hospitality and
we look forward to offering our guests an extraordinary leisure
destination where they can explore the beauty of Vietnam and relax
with the renowned service of Mandarin Oriental.”
The Mandarin Oriental Bai Nom is located on
an expansive 800-metre beach and will feature 72 suites and villas, including 25 Residences
at Mandarin Oriental, spread out across the 29-hectare site.
Guest accommodation will be located directly on the beach, and
dotted through the hills, and feature private terraces and pools. The branded residences will house three to five guestrooms with
private gardens, pools and terraces.
Facilities will include three restaurant and bars,
traditional and padel tennis courts, a children’s club with a
dedicated swimming pool, a cliff-top spa, indoor and outdoor heat
and wet experiences, a 30-metre lap pool and a sunset pavilion.
“We are excited to be bringing Mandarin Oriental’s
legendary service to what promises to be a world class resort and
we are delighted to be working with our partners who share the
same strong commitment to responsible tourism,” said James Riley,
Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental. “The project will
complement our two hotels under development in Saigon and Da Nang.
This will provide our fans with an opportunity to experience three
diverse and fascinating aspects of Vietnam.”
