The resort will be home to 136 units, including 30 water villas, 18 beach villas, 20 tree top houses, 48 Latitude rooms, 18 residential villas and two rock villas. It is set to open to business by 2012.
In the other property, the company has invested some VND560 billion in the Six Senses Latitude Saigon River in Phuoc Dai Commune in Nhon Trach District in Dong Nai, a 20-minute boat ride from the heart of HCMC.
The five-star resort, which is designed with a landscape impressed from a southern village image of Vietnam, offers 215 guest accommodations including 63 residential villas for sales, according to the project developer.
The developer says the first model villa will be on display by March this year and the resort is scheduled to be launched by the end of the second quarter next year.
Dung said the newly signed agreement, valid for 30 years, between Ninh Van Bay and Six Senses would pave the way for both parties to enhance and accelerate their strategic partnership.
Six Senses will provide technical assistance for the local partner to further develop high-class resorts in Vietnam. In return, Ninh Van Bay will choose Six Senses as the top priority partner to manage its resort projects in the country.
Dung said the company would start work on a second phase for Six Senses Hideaway Ninh Van Bay in the central coast city of Nha Trang, with some US$12 million for 24 luxury villas along the beach.
He said the demand for tourism properties had prompted the company to build villas for sale, but he declined to reveal prices of the properties in advance. He added the company planned to move forward to the northern region for resort development after establishing a solid base in the southern region.
In another project, Six Senses Con Dao Resort, which is being developed by Indochina Land, is set to open late this year, offering to the local hotelier 35 villas for hotel services and 15 luxury residential villas for sale.
Established in 1995, the Thailand-based company has managed 26 resorts and 41 spas in six countries – Maldives, Thailand, Oman, Jordan, Spain and Vietnam.
