“Taking Flight” with World-Class Infrastructure
The construction atmosphere at the “$16 billion super airport” site is heating up daily. Thousands of engineers and workers are toiling day and night to ensure this national key project meets its deadline, as strongly directed by the Party and State leaders. The milestones of the technical flight on December 19, 2025, and commercial operations in mid-2026 are of particular interest to the public, authorities, and investors alike.
Long Thanh Airport accelerates construction, aiming for the technical flight milestone on December 19, 2025.
Amidst this infrastructure boom, Vung Tau is emerging as a vibrant international coastal tourism hub, seamlessly blending leisure and investment appeal. Just a 30-minute drive from Long Thanh Airport, Vung Tau is poised to become more than just a “nearby beach” once all international flights from Tan Son Nhat Airport are relocated to Long Thanh. It will transform into a new international tourism gateway for Southern Vietnam.
Beyond Long Thanh Airport, other infrastructure projects in Vung Tau are also gaining momentum. The Bien Hoa – Vung Tau Expressway, scheduled to open on December 19, will reduce travel time from Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau’s Bai Sau to just 45–60 minutes. Additionally, the Ministry of Construction has approved the planning for the Vung Tau International Passenger Port, featuring two 840-meter berths capable of accommodating cruise ships up to 225,000 GT—among the largest in the country. The port is expected to serve 1.39 to 1.5 million passengers annually.

A Launchpad for Tourism Excellence
Under the proposed operational plan for Vietnam’s two largest airports, Long Thanh Airport is expected to handle 80% of international flights and 10% of domestic flights, while Tan Son Nhat Airport will manage 20% of international flights and 90% of domestic flights.
From Long Thanh Airport, a mere 30-minute drive takes visitors to the pristine white sands and azure waters of Bai Sau. With the completion of the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau Expressway, Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway, and the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3, travel between Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City, and other Southern provinces will be significantly shortened. Another exciting development is the proposed Can Gio sea-crossing route, promising a dramatic new connection.
The synergy of air, road, and maritime infrastructure is set to elevate Vung Tau into a high-quality, world-class tourism center. This coastal city will not only attract weekend visitors but also international tourists from Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan, all arriving via the “Long Thanh gateway.”
The synergy of air, road, and maritime infrastructure positions Vung Tau as an international tourism hub.
Experts predict that the surge in tourists will drive demand for high-quality accommodations and upscale entertainment options, boosting MICE tourism and increasing visitor spending. This trend opens up a “goldmine of opportunities” for investors seeking flexible, multi-value tourism real estate—properties that offer both residential and rental potential while serving as long-term assets. One standout project is Blanca City, developed by Sun Property (a member of Sun Group) in the heart of Bai Sau.
Blanca City – The Investor’s Destination Amidst Infrastructure Boom
If Vung Tau is the “epicenter” of Southern Vietnam’s infrastructure revolution, Blanca City is the “shining star” of its real estate market. Located along Bai Sau and 3/2 Street—Vung Tau’s most vibrant development axis—Blanca City is envisioned as a model “all-in-one” coastal city, poised to become a magnet for savvy investors.

Beyond its prime beachfront location, Blanca City is a harmonious blend of luxury living and dynamic entertainment. The ecosystem of amenities crafted by Sun Group offers residents and visitors everything from Vietnam’s largest seaside shopping center and a private 1km beach to a 15-hectare water park, eight landscaped parks, and high-end beachfront hotels.
The project’s centerpiece is the Blanca Towers. Designed by Aedas to resemble “sails billowing toward the open sea” and featuring interiors by Ong&Ong (Singapore), these towers offer investors unparalleled assurance and value. Notably, Blanca Towers 6-7 are among the most sought-after properties, thanks to their international management and unique panoramic views.

Owners of Blanca 6-7 apartments enjoy not only a prime location but also a “dual sea view,” witnessing both the sunrise over Bai Sau and the sunset at Nghinh Phong Cape from a single window—a rare and exclusive experience. Partnering with an international management brand ensures sustainable passive income, relieves the burden of self-management, and guarantees meticulous property maintenance. This makes these apartments a coveted choice for investors aiming to capitalize on the influx of tourists expected in Vung Tau over the next decade.
The convergence of synchronized infrastructure, tourism development policies, Sun Group’s reputation, and Blanca City’s strategic location creates a “perfect destination” for investors. More than just a real estate project, Blanca City embodies a vision of enduring value—where assets not only generate short-term returns but also appreciate sustainably as Vung Tau transforms into an international tourism metropolis.
