Nestled along the coast of tranquil Central Vietnam, 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
community resides near Lang Co Bay in the Chan May region overlooking the East
Sea, an area renowned for its pristine coastline, tropical jungles, rugged
mountain peaks and proximity to the country’s most storied UNESCO World
Heritage Sites, including the cities of Hue and
Hoi An along with the relics of
My Son.
The development is nestled in a crescent bay, 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.
Phase 1 of the project represents a US$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 Mr. Ho KwonPing, 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.”
Banyan Tree Lang Co features 32 one-bedroom lagoon villas (131 sqm) and
17 one-bedroom beach villas (124 sqm) set on the shores of Canh Duong beach. A
spa highlights Banyan Tree’s treatments and services, while a 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 suites (from 52 sqm to 179 sqm), 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
Tucked away in traditional Cu Du Village in the Phu Loc District of Thua
Thien Hue Province, the rustic hinterland of Laguna Lang Co is historically 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 Da Nang and Hue.
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.

The resort residences present an array of ownership opportunities with
villas and condominium units offering ocean views. Taking inspiration from
Vietnamese traditions and culture, each one, two or three-bedroom villa (from
158 sqm – 236 sqm) of Banyan Tree Residences Lang Co features a private plunge
pool.
Limited villas are available for sale, and ownership confers
membership in Banyan Tree’s worldwideprivate residential community.

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 sea views.
Owners of Banyan Tree and Angsana Residences Lang Co will also enjoy
exclusive privileges on global exchange programmes, golf memberships and other

Championship Golf Course
The Laguna Lang Co Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-71 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 with changing landscape 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, and are noted for their oceanfront footage.
