This new phase, named District Vui – Quận Vui, is designed to create an engaging environment for guests of all ages.
The Grand Ho Tram is situated on the picturesque coastline of Ho Tram, just a two-hour drive from central Ho Chi Minh City. It opened its doors in 2013 and has since become a sought-after venue for diverse events such as beauty pageants, combat sports, company retreats, and exclusive product launches.
