Dubai-based Sunset Hospitality Group, a corporation renowned for lifestyle hospitality experiences, is making its first foray into Vietnam with the Azure Beach and Attiko brands.

Entering the tropical market of Vietnam is part of the United Arab Emirates firm’s expansion of its global footprint in Southeast Asia, the hospitality company announced Tuesday.

Both brands, Azure Beach and Attiko, will appear in a complex in the central province of Khanh Hoa’s Nha Trang town, home to Nha Trang Bay - one of the world’s most beautiful bays.

Situated at the iconic Bai Tien beach in the Vega City project, a new development in Nha Trang, the complex will be an integrated high-class resort. Constructed by Vietnamese investment group KDI Holdings, a further collection of 168 ocean-view shophouses, luxury villas and 5-star hotels will complete the complex, according to the UAE company.

“The Vega City project is set to become one of the most iconic holiday destinations in Vietnam, we feel honored to be launching our product here,” said Sunset Hospitality Group CEO Antonio Gonzalez.

Scheduled to open in the third quarter of this year, the property in Nha Trang will be the firm’s fourth Azure Beach location and third Attiko venue.

“Launching Azure Beach and Attiko, two high-energy lounge and supper clubs in Vega City Nha Trang, will provide a unique and classy experience for those visiting,” said Do Tuan Anh, CEO of KDI Holdings.

Both venues will mirror their Dubai-based presence, replicating the already tried and tested model. Azure Beach will be nestled among the heavenly white sands and shimmering blue waters of Nha Trang Bay, serving up exotic beverages and mouth-watering Asian fusion cuisine, according to Sunset Hospitality Group.

Meanwhile, the roof terrace at Attiko promises a sleek high-energy lounge and supper club space with Pan Asian flavors and views across the idyllic Vietnamese coastline - the ideal spot for sundowners or a late-night get together.

On Vietnam’s central coast, Nha Trang is one of the most popular beach towns in the country for tourists, both foreign and domestic. It is about 450 kilometers north of Ho Chi Minh City, the nation’s economic powerhouse, and a 45 minute drive to Cam Ranh International Airport.
