SOH WORLD is the repositioning of a 22-hectare coastal estate into Vietnam's most considered resort residence — a place where slow architecture, salt air and starlight conspire toward a quieter sort of luxury.
Once known as Thanh Long Bay, the estate has been re-imagined under a single editorial vision. Every pavilion, every grove, every line of sight has been re-tuned to invite a guest who measures luxury in silence and sand.

The estate sits on a south-facing curve of the South China Sea, sheltered by Kê Gà lighthouse and granite headlands — a microclimate of long, dry afternoons and warm dusk winds.
Each guest day at SOH WORLD is composed like a sequence of small ceremonies — an unhurried choreography of water, salt, fire and shade.

A coastal kitchen, fired by tamarind wood, plates the morning's catch on hand-pinched ceramic.
Walk the dragon-fruit grove at noon; pick what the chef will cook at dusk.
A bath house carved from local basalt; treatments built around forest honey and sea salt.
A 22-seat chef's counter facing the lighthouse — one menu, one tide, one night.
A sail-rigged junk for sunset crossings to the granite islets beyond the bay.
Pavilions are kept low and long, their roofs pitched in the language of the fishing villages further down the coast. Lime-washed walls, hand-quarried stone, and aged teak are chosen so that the buildings will only become more themselves over time.
Limited residences are released by appointment. Leave us a note and a member of the Nam Group atelier will write back within twenty-four hours.
