Flamingo Cat Ba Resort
Flamingo Cat Ba Resort is a beach paradise, ideally located in Cat Ba Town with views of the sea, mountains, and Lan Ha Bay. Guests will enjoy the beaches of Cat Co on the resort’s property and the well-designed living spaces within the resort.
The resort features a distinctive design with the exterior covered in more than 10,000 trees. From a distance, the building resembles a tropical jungle and connects the resort to its surrounding environment.
The hotel was also designed to utilize resource-efficient design features and technologies to reduce its environmental impact. Solar hot water collectors, LED lighting, and a water-cooled chiller will contribute to the building’s energy savings, while low-flow plumbing fixtures and auto shut-off faucets will contribute to the building’s water savings.
Flamingo Cat Ba Resort is aligned with developer Flamingo Holding’s commitment to the sustainable development of its projects. By covering the resort with trees, Flamingo Holding helped preserve the beauty of Cat Co beaches, while bringing economic benefits to the community. Flamingo Holding has also EDGE certified its Forest in the Sky project in Hanoi.
Flamingo Cat Ba Resort has received a preliminary EDGE certificate from SGS Vietnam.
