Hoiana Resort & Golf, one of Vietnam’s largest integrated resort complexes, will add 1,000 new five-star hotel rooms in its second development phase according to publication The Investor.
Hoiana completed its first $1.4 billion phase in 2020, opening with 1,200 hotel rooms and Vietnam’s largest casino – featuring 140 gaming tables and 270 electronic machines, as well as an 18-hole golf course that has hosted international tournaments.
The second phase will also add 1,000 more 5-star rooms after a $1 billion investment, plus 198 beachfront villas, a multi-purpose convention center capable of hosting 2,500 guests, a family-oriented retail and entertainment zone, and a second golf course linked to a professional training academy offering international certifications. That is according to Nguyen Vinh Tran, General Director of Hoi An South Development Co., Ltd., who detailed the expansion during a dialogue between Danang city authorities and businesses.
Hoiana is additionally planning Vietnam’s first outlet mall combined with a duty-free shopping center, introducing a new retail and entertainment model to the market.
The overall expansion plan is expected to generate over 2,000 new jobs and contribute more than VND2 trillion ($76.15 million) annually in tax revenue.
Currently, the resort employs nearly 2,700 staff, 98 percent of whom are Vietnamese, with average monthly incomes of around VND15 million ($570).
Hoiana’s General Director was also quoted as saying that the development supports Danang’s ambition to become a regional hub for events, sports, shopping, and luxury tourism, enhancing competitiveness with international destinations.
Covering nearly 985 hectares, Hoiana has a total planned investment of around $4 billion, scheduled to be developed in seven phases with completion targeted for 2029.
Danang’s tourism sector has rebounded strongly since the pandemic, welcoming 17 million visitors in 2025, including 7.6 million international arrivals, a 25 percent increase from 2024.
