Villa Royal Lotus Hạ Long

Villa Royal Lotus Hạ Long is an apartment in Hung Thang, 4.8 km from the centre of Ha Long, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms and views over the pool and garden. It suits families and larger groups who want a whole apartment rather than separate hotel rooms, with a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen and a balcony to sit on in the evening.

The grounds have a private beach area, beachfront access, a sun terrace, a pool with a view and an outdoor dining area with a barbecue. Free private parking is on site, WiFi is free in all areas, and pets are allowed with no extra charges. Private check-in and check-out, concierge service and a minimarket add to the stay.

Check-in opens at 14:00 and check-out is at 12:00, and the property asks you to tell it your arrival time in advance. Marina Bay Beach is 200 m away, so the sea is a few minutes' walk from the apartment. The apartment suits a group that wants to cook, eat outdoors and spend time together in one place.

Villa Royal Lotus Hạ Long stands in Hung Thang, a district of hotels and apartment towers on the west side of Bai Chay, around Halong Marina. Hung Thang is newer than the older centre of Ha Long on the east bank, so the buildings around the property are modern. The apartment is 200 m from Marina Bay Beach, and the nearest places to eat and drink are close by: Cafe Sunshine at 100 m, Eleven Coffee at 150 m and the Quán Linh Quang restaurant at 850 m.

Cat Bi International Airport is 31.1 km away, and Bai Chay Bus Terminal is 2.3 km from the property. The Hạ Long train station and the Vinpearl Ferry Terminal are both 2.3 km away, and the Tuần Châu Ferry Terminal, 4.5 km away, serves the harbour on Tuan Chau island, where most day and overnight cruises leave. Getting around the Bai Chay area on foot or by taxi is straightforward, since the main roads and bus connections run through the central part of the district.

For shopping and everyday food, Cái Dăm Market is 2 km away and Chợ Hà Khẩu market is 2.9 km. The Ga Đại Dương cable car station is 4.8 km away, close to the Sunworld theme park at 4.9 km, and Tuan Chau Park is 3.6 km. Thien Cung Cave is 4.9 km away, the Chùa Minh Tâm pagoda is 3.6 km, and Bãi Cháy beach is 3.9 km away, so the sea, the caves and the temples are all within a short drive.
