Descending into Luxury: InterContinental Halong Bay Resort to Debut Summer 2025

InterContinental Halong Bay Resort
A New Era of Elegance on Vietnam’s Fabled Coast

Opening in summer 2025, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort is set to become the first luxury destination resort on the iconic waters of Ha Long Bay. Nestled in the exclusive Ha Long Marina Urban Area, just outside Bai Chay, this soon-to-be-launched sanctuary blends natural splendour with legendary hospitality, creating an elevated escape for travellers seeking relaxation, culture, and adventure.

Guests will be welcomed into a realm where storytelling and landscape converge. With sweeping views of limestone karsts and access to hidden caves and coastal fishing villages, the resort offers an ideal base to explore the mystique of Vietnam’s only coastal UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Design Rooted in Heritage and Nature

The architectural vision, led by WATG and interiors by P49Deesign, draws inspiration from Ha Long Bay’s mythological and geographical narratives. From bamboo basket boat motifs in the grand lobby to design elements echoing the shimmer of fish scales and pearl tones, the interiors are thoughtfully crafted to reflect the rhythm of land and sea.

The property will house 174 guestrooms and suites, 60 fully serviced residences, and 41 private villas. Each space promises comfort and immersion, with colours and textures that mirror the bay’s vivid marine palette.

Culinary Experiences from Sea to Sky

Six dining venues will invite guests on a journey of culinary discovery. Highlights include:

  • Roku & Sky Bar, a rooftop haven inspired by Japanese flavours with a Ha Long twist. From sake libraries to sushi crafted with local seafood, it will offer sweeping views of the bay beneath a dramatic hanging bamboo sculpture.

  • Yulong Mansion, a sophisticated Cantonese restaurant, will deliver refined dining experiences with live culinary theatre, including tableside Peking duck carving and elegantly designed private dining spaces.

Additional venues will serve international favourites and local delicacies, accommodating every mood from sunrise to nightcap.

A Wellness Oasis for Mind and Body

The resort’s spa will feature a collaboration with luxury wellness brands Margaret Dabbs London and Sodashi, offering rituals that combine global techniques with Vietnamese sensibility. Holistic treatments, from rejuvenating facials to nurturing body therapies, promise full-body renewal.

For the active and adventurous, amenities include three swimming pools, a fitness centre, beach volleyball, outdoor archery, and a vibrant kids’ club. The Game Room, complete with a cinema, ensures family fun long after the sun sets.

Tailored Travel for Today’s Explorer

Understanding the pace of modern life, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort will offer guest-centric services designed to enhance well-being during travel. Initiatives include dining programs based on circadian science to help reduce jet lag and access to Timeshifter, a jet lag app that helps guests recalibrate more quickly to new time zones.

Whether easing into leisure or jumping into discovery, the resort’s experiences are thoughtfully curated to flow with each guest’s day.

Meetings and Milestones by the Bay

With five indoor event spaces, breakout areas, and scenic outdoor venues, the resort is ideal for weddings, conferences, and milestone celebrations. The grand ballroom can host over 1,000 guests in a theatre setup, while lush gardens and terraces offer picture-perfect backdrops for open-air receptions.

Only two hours from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort provides seamless access to both city and sea. It also serves as a stylish choice for pre- and post-cruise stays.
