Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Asia-Pacific vice president of Development Jens O. Reichert said his company was pleased its brand has been selected by the developer and was excited about this outstanding new resort.

He said the resort would be the first newly built property in Quy Nhon operated by an international brand.

Pacific Land Services managing director Reno Mueller, the lead project consultant and owner’s representative, underpinned the project’s unique proposition for the market in terms of location, product composition, innovative design and brand positioning.

“Quy Nhon and its surrounding region possess great tourism potential within the domestic market and as gateway to Cambodia, Laos and Eastern Thailand that will be further unlocked by continuing infrastructure development,” he said.

The Mövenpick Resort & Spa Quy Nhon will boost 180 hotel rooms and 52 exclusive private villas nestled amongst ocean cliffs and offer extensive spa and leisure facilities, numerous dining options and conference rooms, a cliff-top golf putting green, a diving school, and its own private marina.

The 22 hectare project will occupy a unique location on Phuong Mai peninsular in Nhon Hoi Economic Zone surrounded by pristine ocean cliffs and bordered by its own coral reef that is alive with many rare sea species. With crystal clear water and year-round sunshine the resort is set to become a top spot for relaxation and diving in central Vietnam.

One of Dviews’ top priorities for the eco-friendly and sustainable development of the resort is to preserve the cultural heritage of Quy Nhon and its unspoiled environment and distinctive marine ecosystem. The developer aims for LEED Platinum certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Green Globe accreditation, a goal that is strongly supported by Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.

Construction for the main infrastructure is already well underway and the resort is slated to open in the first half of 2015.
