Arque Degi Superyacht Marine City

The floating villas are a seamless fusion of architecture and the superyacht:

Unlike any other project, the villas are designed as a direct extension of the yacht. Their architecture reflects Palmer Johnson’s design philosophy – a refined combination of aerodynamic lines, expansive glass spaces and the finest craftsmanship.

The world’s first zero-emission superyacht leisure and resort ecosystem: this is our core commitment. The entire lagoon community will operate on zero-emission principles, using advanced renewable energy, modern water management systems and state-of-the-art propulsion technology for all yachts in the area. This is fully in line with Vietnam’s commitment to a sustainable future and positions Vietnam as a pioneer in green luxury. Ultra-luxury floating hotels of the highest standard, outstanding wellness clubs, top-tier leisure and impeccable services will create an on-water entertainment community of unprecedented appeal, delivering an exceptional quality of life for residents and visitors.

The floating villas are designed as a new benchmark of luxury. Living spaces draw on the qualities and sensations of water to create unprecedented experiences. The project’s level of luxury, privacy and personalised service – among the finest in the region and the world – is curated directly by ARQUE Lifestyle – from exclusive amenities and on-demand concierge services to absolute privacy and security reserved for the global elite.

A 36-hole, PGA-standard golf course set between the lagoon and the sea, with mountains and headlands to the south, striking natural scenery, pristine white-sand coastal terrain and stunning views over the Pacific Ocean. Winding, challenging holes make every round an unforgettable experience.

Varied terrain and a tropical climate are what give the course its appeal and keep every round fresh for golfers. Even on the same course, a golfer will never face the same scenario twice, thanks to the daily changes in weather and vegetation.

Crowning the highest point of the project, the 500-room panorama ultra-luxury hotel commands sweeping panoramic views – guests can watch both sunrise over the sea and sunset in a single day. The signature style of Herzog & de Meuron comes to life in its distinctive “horizontal skyscraper” design, an architectural landmark in its own right. The hotel offers rooms adorned with gold leaf, helicopter transfers and Rolls-Royce chauffeur service. Here, guests experience the meeting of sky and earth – a place where every wish comes true.

A port of call and a safe haven for the world’s most luxurious superyachts – symbols of vibrancy and wealth – designed as a must-visit destination for discovering a tropical paradise. It is the starting point for every journey to admire Vietnam’s captivating beauty, in an exceptionally clean and stable resort environment.

The Arque Degi Superyacht Marina offers 36 dedicated superyacht berths and a yacht area with hundreds more, complemented by multi-layered security, fine-dining restaurants, a helipad, a luxury shopping centre and surrounding resorts and high-end residences.

It is also a lively destination with striking scenery, offering visitors distinctive experiences – a dream destination where the elite affirm their status. At the same time, it opens up countless commercial opportunities and serves as a hub for networking, meeting partners and hosting major international maritime events, such as an annual superyacht show and other key regional and international gatherings.

A place for surreal stays that blend distinctive architecture with nature – the hills and the open sea. Guests can wake up in the heart of the ocean, with countless fish, turtles and coral reefs just beyond the glass; reach the sea through a unique sea tunnel; immerse themselves in nature with panoramic ocean views from the most private spaces, such as the bedroom or bathtub; and enjoy dining and services at the water’s edge – relaxing in infinity pools beside the sand while savouring barbecues or desserts by the waves.

Distinguished by striking multi-level infinity pools overlooking lush tropical forest, it is a paradise of overwater bungalows above crystal-clear, jade-green waters. Guests can enjoy long stays amid nature that has remained untouched for millions of years; the water here is so blue and clear you can see the seabed, which, together with the rocky shore, creates a magnificent view from the hotel.

The resort also features bars, restaurants, music venues, a spa and saltwater pools, so guests can enjoy both the tranquillity and the excitement of the vast ocean. Beyond rest and relaxation, submarine tours of the underwater world and coral reef diving cater to adventure seekers.

Stretching along the western shore of De Gi Lagoon, where the mangroves and waterways remain untouched, the two eco villages combine secluded natural surroundings, ultra-low building density and exclusive 5–7-star amenities. They preserve the pristine landscape and offer the ultra-wealthy a serene, completely private place to live and unwind.

More than 100 secluded villas across more than 150 hectares, each with its own architecture within a unified master plan, meticulously crafted inside and out. Guests can admire the stunning surroundings and immerse themselves in nature and the pure, fresh air. Premium services, exceptional butler service and owners who include film stars, politicians and billionaires define the prestige of this villa resort.

The Soul-Body Garden of Eden was created by Nguyen Quan, the internationally renowned art critic. It comprises five architectural structures symbolising the Five Elements, set across nearly 50 hectares. The five spaces consist of a square painting pavilion and four sculptural towers of the Four Sacred Creatures. The idea of the Four Sacred Creatures begins with a question: what does our soul want for our body, and conversely, what qualities does our body want from our soul and our inner life? Here, the Four Sacred Creatures are aesthetic symbols of our aspirations for the noble qualities of body and soul – for each individual, each community and society as a whole. They are four monumental modern outdoor sculptures, on a scale large enough to create a place – a space for relaxation, contemplation, quiet reflection and even prayer, while remaining entirely non-religious. The Four Sacred Creatures here bear no relation to artistic form, architectural function, religious function or royal ceremonial decoration. The tower sculptures relate only to the essence of loosely defined concepts, legends and imagery that have become universal and deeply rooted in the spiritual life of the Vietnamese people since ancient times. The four sculptural towers reference and deeply reflect the Champa towers and classical Champa sculpture, for which Binh Dinh and Gia Lai in particular, and the coastal South Central region in general, are the cradle and sacred ground of Vietnamese art. It is this cultural and artistic connection that makes us long to see the Four Sacred Creatures placed somewhere within the geography of South Central Vietnam.

Layout of the Soul-Body Garden

At the centre stands a transparent glass cube measuring 8 × 8 m and 6 m high, with a transparent ceiling. Running around all four walls is a 3 × 32 m band of frosted glass that serves as the backdrop for the paintings. The transparent glass ceiling represents Heaven; the grey tiled floor with a large circle of ivory-white or pale-yellow stone represents Earth; and the paintings and viewers in between represent Humanity. Together, the whole forms a living model of the Three Powers – Heaven, Earth and Humanity. Humanity is a child of nature, its centre and its soul. Happiness is harmony between people and nature. Inside, it is light grey for hanging paintings; outside, it is lotus pink, representing the dusty earthly world. This pink band, suspended amid nature, emphasises the surreal, romantic and mystical character of the work, turning it into an organic part of this particular natural setting.

The Dragon Tower stands to the east, symbolising the qualities associated with the dragon: energy, power and dynamic growth. It measures 3.5 m high, 4.0 m wide and 11.5 m long. Its colours are golden brown and pink, with a deep royal purple inside. The landscape evokes spring, with lush green grassy hills dotted with blossoms. The reference unit for the actual size of these sculptures is the inner height of the gateway, about 2.2 m to allow people to pass through – the standard gateway height in traditional Vietnamese architecture, such as communal houses, temples, pagodas, towers and royal palaces.

The Phoenix Tower stands to the south, symbolising beauty, love and rebirth. It measures 5.0 m high, 4.5 m wide and 9.5 m long, in pink, reddish brown and green. The landscape evokes summer, with lush wooded hills, water and more.

The Qilin Tower stands to the west, symbolising wisdom, benevolence and steadfastness. It measures 5.5 m high, 5.0 m wide and 8.0 m long, in green, dark tones and gold. The landscape evokes autumn, with earthen hills, tall trees, grasses, red and yellow foliage and scattered autumn flowers.

The Tortoise Tower stands to the north, symbolising longevity, peace and stability. It measures 6.0 m high, 5.0 m wide and 6.0 m long, in black, brown and gold. The landscape evokes winter, with barren ground and ancient evergreen pines and cypresses.

A limited number of villas are built across 175 hectares of private land on hillsides overlooking the sea across the lagoon, offering a truly one-of-a-kind view. There is no better place to return to nature, where the only things that matter are health and joy. Guests enjoy 5–7-star butler service and the finest amenities.

Located in the open sea 7 km from the shore and accessible only by yacht or helicopter, it is a true paradise where the ultra-wealthy can listen to themselves and connect with the divine. It is the world’s first secluded resort with an underwater structure at a depth of 20 m. Beneath a transparent dome, guests feel as if they are living on the seabed. They can observe marine life and the surrounding coral gardens, even interact with sea creatures through special equipment, or go diving.

Set between the resorts and the shore, where the sea air is fresh and the bay is a brilliant blue, the marine sports complex offers guests the chance to try water sports such as scuba diving and boat cruises. The resort redefines tropical marine leisure, with a water sports centre featuring the latest motorised equipment – from Hydroflight jetpacks and eFoil electric surfboards to speedboat-towed parasailing – and winding slides that send guests plunging into turquoise water. Guests can join coral research dives with oceanographers or charter high-speed yachts for wakeboarding at sea.

This is home to the most lavish service complexes – a world-famous capital of high-end nightlife and entertainment, with restaurants helmed by Michelin-starred chefs, beach clubs and world-class performance stages. Concert venues for contemporary artists feature private ocean-view pools, elegant bars, salt saunas, private massage rooms and direct access to the vibrant entertainment area.

Comprising hundreds of luxury villas amid peaceful nature and the diversity of sea, hills, mountains, lagoon and greenery, it is a model of the growing trend of combining resort living with care for accomplished seniors, who are a priceless treasure of wisdom and experience. With temperatures that never drop below 20°C all year round, the villas for the ultra-wealthy are set amid lush natural surroundings, offering an ideal living space with all the features of a resort to ensure a comfortable, happy life for seniors. Here, they can shop, exercise, visit entertainment venues, watch films and relax in whirlpool baths…

Visitors can immerse themselves in authentic coastal village life through time-honoured local crafts and everyday traditions – salt making, fishing, conical hat weaving, fish sauce production and organic farming – alongside climate-adaptive tourism experiences.
