Hotel Marina Gold, designed by Nobuaki Miyashita of MR STUDIO Co., Ltd., is set to redefine luxury in Mui Ne Beach, Vietnam. With a striking design that harmonises elements of nature and futuristic architecture, the resort hotel captures the grandeur of a floating luxury cruise ship, producing the feeling of a vessel anchored between the sea and sky. Situated between the sweeping Mui Ne coastline and lush forested hills, the architectural approach reflects both the serenity and vibrancy of its surroundings, creating a dynamic connection between land, sea, and sky.
The design concept centres around the theme of a “Floating Luxury Cruise Ship.” The building rises obliquely from the 7th to the 20th floor, creating an illusion of movement as if the hotel is preparing to set sail. This upward trajectory gives the structure a sense of grandeur and elevates the experience for guests, offering breathtaking views from ocean and mountain-facing rooms. The hotel’s 500 rooms, including 50 suites, are strategically divided to provide guests with an expansive view of the ocean or the calming embrace of the mountains.
The architectural elements of Hotel Marina Gold are equally impressive in form and function. A cantilevered glass-bottom pool on the rooftop extends toward the ocean, offering a one-of-a-kind experience where guests can swim while feeling suspended above the waves. The rooftop also features a bar lounge and viewing restaurant, making it an ideal spot for experiencing the famous Mui Ne sunsets. On the 6th floor, a sprawling terrace offers communal spaces for guests to enjoy the sunset and a direct access to a neighboring golf course is made available with a bridge that provides a perfect integration of luxury and leisure.
The interplay of light and reflection is a core feature of the hotel's design. As the sun sets, the structure glows in a rich golden hue, paying homage to its namesake, "Marina Gold." This visual spectacle transforms the hotel into a shimmering beacon along the coastline, an iconic symbol of Mui Ne Beach.
The hotel's sleek form and cutting-edge amenities make it a landmark, set to become a timeless symbol of luxury on the southeastern coast of Vietnam. Hotel Marina Gold is more than a resort; it is a futuristic architectural masterpiece that redefines luxury through innovative design and thoughtful integration with its natural surroundings.
