HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Just a few years ago, the dream of owning a world-class resort property seemed close to impossible but is now within reach for many Vietnamese.

Few know that Doan Quoc Huy, a young businessman, is among those has helped make this dream a reality for Vietnamese people.

Deputy chairman of BIM Group, a family-run diversified group with operations in property development, trade and service, and agriculture business, Huy is busy with a series of high-profile projects, many of which are currently ongoing. 

Yet new ideas continue to bloom, like the Phu Quoc Marina on Phu Quoc Island off the coast of Kien Giang Province.

The project is inspired by Huy's dream of bringing quality projects to Vietnamese investors, which he has nurtured since he studied property finance in the United States, the world's largest economy.

Huy is aware that the moments spent in classy and luxury resorts are precious and owning such branded resorts is a wonderful opportunity.

"Phu Quoc Marina will not only be the first ever model of a resort and recreation complex on the island, but also a profitable investment solution in the long term," Huy said.

The idea of developing Phu Quoc Marina is welcomed by investors.

Doan Thanh Tam, an investor in Ha Noi, said that until now, information about the Phu Quoc Marina project has been kept secret. "Some of my friends who recently travelled to Phu Quoc Island saw that InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Residences, a component of Phu Quoc Marina, was nearing completion, but I still see no sales activities from the developer."

"This makes Pho Quoc Marina unique," Tâm said.

Any regular investor of BIM Group is aware of the group's style of doing business, Tam said, adding that the BIM Group develops each of their projects with passion. "Phu Quoc Marina is one of the flagship projects of the BIM Group, which will partner with global names for the project's development. Phu Quoc Marina deserves our patience," Tam said.

A source from BIM Group disclosed that Phu Quoc Marina was a pioneer luxury resort and recreation complex on the island. The complex would include hotels, resorts, shophouses and beach-view luxury apartments, as well as condotels and beach-view resort villas.

A number of the world's leading resorts and hotels brands will be present at Phu Quoc Marina, including Regent, the six-star hotel and resort brand entering Viet Nam for the first time; InterContinental, which will provide unmatched management of villas and condotels in Phu Quoc; and Fusion Suites, the brand owned by Serenity Holding known for uniquely-designed resorts.

Notably, Phu Quoc Marina will have a trendy recreational complex, which is expected to enrich entertainment experiences in Phu Quoc. A US$35 million water park covering 30ha will be developed here with thrilling rides and the longest water slide in Southest Asia. The Sailing Club, which is famous in tourism spot Nha Trang City, will also have a presence in Phu Quoc Marina.

A 1km beach square, night markets, beach bars and waterfront shophouses will attract tourists.
