The location of Laguna Lang Co is off
the tourist map, so why do you think
it is suitable for a mammoth inte-
grated resort like Laguna?
Lang Co Bay has been recognised
as one of the world’s most beautiful
bays by the World’s Most Beautiful Bays
Club. With its pristine sand beaches, the
area is expected to become a popular
destination like Phuket in Thailand, or
Bali in Indonesia. Laguna Lăng Cô is
situated on a unique crescent bay offer-
ing privacy and unparalleled exclusivity.
Framed by a three kilometre beach and
lush country side, this area is renowned
for its pristine coastline, tropical jun-
gles, and rugged mountain peaks.
In line with the Laguna group’s
global expansion plans, the Laguna
Lăng Cô project enables us to gain a
foothold in the growing Indochina tour-
ism industry and introduce our signa-
ture brand of Asian hospitality to Vi-
etnam. It is one of the group’s largest
developments and we believe Laguna
Lăng Cô will be the leading, world-class
holiday and premium second home
destination in the region. Laguna Lăng
Cô will attract domestic tourists who
are keen to explore the inaugural Ban-
yan Tree & Angsana resorts in Vietnam
and will also attract loyal customers of
the Banyan Tree and Angsana brands to
visit this new destination in Vietnam.
Laguna Phuket has developed over the
past 25 years. How do you see Laguna
Lang Co achieving the same status?
This part of central Vietnam offers
a great combination of beautiful coast-
line, tropical jungle, mountains and
proximity to the country’s most storied
UNESCO World Heritage sites, including
the ancient capital of Hue, the historic
town of Hoi An and the relics of My Son.
The pro-business and pro-investment
administrations in the region have also
helped tremendously in spurring eco-
nomic and tourism development. Fur-
thermore, with its international airport
serving Danang, we believe the Chan
May – Lang Co region has years of
growth ahead of it. These factors have
inspired us to establish our presence in
Vietnam and to develop Laguna Lăng
Cô to replicate the success of our flag-
ship integrated resort - Laguna Phuket.
What will make properties at La-
guna Lang Co attractive to tourists
and buyers?
Laguna Lăng Cô is perfectly situ-
ated for access to the three UNESCO
World Heritage Sites I already men-
tioned. Our 280-hectares includes Ban-
yan Tree and Angsana branded hotels
and spas, an 18-hole championship golf
course designed by Sir Nick Faldo, pri-
vate villas and residences available for
sale, convention facilities and a pleth-
ora of recreational activities for guests
of all ages. Laguna Lăng Cô is poised to
