As part of the broader development, the project will also introduce The Indochine Residences at Melia Ho Tram – an exclusive collection of two- and three-bedroom residences, duplexes and penthouses. The residences will offer investors the opportunity to participate in the resort’s growth through fully serviced, hotel-managed properties that combine private ownership with access to Meliá’s hospitality standards and rental program.
Mr. André P. Gerondeau, Chief Operating Officer (COO, Meliá Hotels International commented: “Vietnam continues to represent one of the most strategic growth markets for Meliá Hotels International in Asia Pacific, and Ho Tram is rapidly emerging as a premier leisure and lifestyle destination within the region.
“This expansion reflects our long-term confidence in both the destination and our partnership with Tanzanite International. Together, we are evolving Meliá Ho Tram beyond a traditional beachfront resort into a more holistic destination experience. The expansion will strengthen the resort’s positioning across premium leisure, wellness, gastronomy and exceptional hospitality.”
Mr. Nguyen Nam Son, Chairman, Tanzanite International added: “We are proud to continue our partnership with Meliá Hotels International as we invest in the long-term future of Ho Tram. This next chapter of development reflects our shared vision to create a world-class coastal destination that contributes meaningfully to the local economy and strengthens Ho Tram’s appeal among both domestic and international travelers.
“This project is expected to generate more than 1,000 jobs during the construction phase and approximately 500 new operational roles for the local community once fully operational, supporting the continued growth of tourism and hospitality within the region.”
The timing of this expansion aligns with Ho Tram’s accelerating emergence on the international stage. With the development of the upcoming Long Thanh International Airport (66km) and ongoing improvements in regional infrastructure, the destination is poised to evolve into one of Vietnam’s key tourism hubs, attracting both domestic and international travelers seeking high-end coastal experiences within convenient reach of Ho Chi Minh City.
