Thanh Long Bay is a resort/new urban development in Binh Thuan province on the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. The project covers an area of 90.3 ha with a beach front of 1.7km. It includes resort villas, apartments, hotels, and shophouses. It will be a place to live alongside a tourism destination.
This is a greenfield development not associated with any township, so it will be a completely new urban area. The project site is in Ke Ga, near the Ke Ga lighthouse (the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam). The closest major city is the provincial capital of Phan Thiet, 36 km to the north.
The development is split into three distinct sections, with resort villas by the beach, apartment towers in the middle, and rows of shophouses facing the main road. In total there are 6,000 apartments, 1,000 shophouses and 150 villas.
There are four apartment towers that are made up of stacked blocks reaching a height of 27 floors. The main towers bear a striking resemblance to The Interlace in Singapore, though this project is not affiliated with the same architects.
AccorHotels and Wyndham Hotel Group are two hotel groups that will be part of the project.
Thanh Long is Vietnamese for dragon fruit, which is grown everywhere in Binh Thuan province.

Site Visit (12 September, 2020)
I rode to the site on a scooter on the 12 of September, 2020 via Phan Thiet city.
There is not even a village here, so everything is new. On the other side of the road is the Uni King Bay villa project, and on the western side is the Perolas resort development. If the Thanh Long project is a success then expect to see similar projects built around it, creating a new township.

Despite the size of this project, there hasn’t been a lot of reportage in the English language news sites in Vietnam. I have news alerts set up and I will bookmark future developments here.
