Pioneer of the Blue Zone Concept in Vietnam
The Blue Zone concept was pioneered by Dan Buettner, an American explorer, journalist, and author of several renowned articles in the New York Times. These are regions where people generally live longer than anywhere else in the world, often reaching 100 years old while remaining active in their 80s and 90s, and typically avoiding chronic diseases prevalent in most industrialized nations.
Currently, there are five Blue Zones worldwide: Loma Linda (California, USA); Ikaria (Greece); Okinawa (Japan); Sardinia (Italy); and the Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica). These destinations attract visitors from around the globe seeking to learn the secrets of longevity and healthy living.
Ecovillage Saigon River is located 18km from Notre Dame Cathedral
Pioneering the development of a Blue Zone in Vietnam, the founder of Ecopark has created Ecovillage Saigon River, a 55-hectare resort situated in the eastern part of Ho Chi Minh City, 18km from Notre Dame Cathedral.
The All Blue square, a focal point of Ecovillage Saigon River, provides residents with amenities that promote longevity and well-being. Spread over 6.5 hectares, it comprises 67 “diamond villas” facing the eponymous square. This prime location within the Ecovillage Saigon River flower island offers direct access to the marina. Notably, the central boulevard, the project’s main thoroughfare, passes through the square, enabling residents to conveniently connect with key destinations and enjoy hundreds of amenities throughout the flower island, including the Onsen Clubhouse and Sport Clubhouse.

Regarding the Onsen Clubhouse, to enable residents to experience authentic Japanese wellness practices, the founder of Ecopark has partnered with hot spring legend Raymond to introduce natural hot springs to Ecovillage Saigon River, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the benefits of hot springs without traveling 150-350km to Binh Chau (Ba Ria – Vung Tau) or Vinh Hy (Ninh Thuan).
The location also provides easy access to the riverside park, where the developer has harnessed nature’s perfect setting to encourage residents to relax, exercise, and enhance their overall well-being through activities such as walking, running, boating, yoga, gym workouts, camping, and more.
All Blue Square lies at the heart of Ecovillage Saigon River
According to real estate experts, “location is everything” in real estate, significantly impacting a property’s value. Buyers typically evaluate the location carefully, considering the surrounding area’s development status, local economic conditions, and proximity to amenities such as schools, hospitals, public transportation, and primary access points.
The All Blue square’s prime location enhances its residential, investment, and business value. Combined with the “All Blue” product concept – the “soul” and central hub connecting various values – experts believe it is a product with a vision for both the developer and investors, as it is a finite, timeless product that will only increase in value over time.
Globally, many squares have become the heart and soul of the regions they represent. Notable examples include Zocalo Square in Mexico City’s historic center, Armas Square in the heart of Cuzco (Peru), and Piccadilly Circus in London. These squares attract tens of thousands of pilgrims each weekend, and during festivals, they are filled with people day and night.
