Located on a beachfront, overlooking Long Beach on Vietnam’s scenic Cam Ranh peninsula, the venue is touted to be the largest multi-purpose centre in the region, the Axi Plaza celebrated its grand opening on April 25.
The design of the centre’s building is inspired by the country’s ubiquitous basket boat, with the exterior crisscrossed with wooden lats, expected to last for at least 100 years. By night, the Axi Plaza changes colours in an elaborate lighting display
Among the host of facilities offered by the multi-purpose centre is; a state-of-the-art conference hall, a 360-degree rooftop venue, an outdoor beachfront event space, and about 10,000 square metres dedicated to shopping and dining outlets.
The 1,197 square metre conference hall and ballroom area on Axi Plaza’s third floor can accommodate up to 1,000 people, and the hall features a cutting edge 75 square metre LED screen, with a panoramic view of the ocean.
On the fifth floor is the 360-degree rooftop area totaling 1,077 square metres, designed for receptions and company events, with views of Long Beach’s white sands and turquoise waters.
The outdoor event space situated between the basket boat-shaped building and the beach, is underpinned by the capacious lawn that fronts three picture-perfect swimming pools; one saltwater, one chlorine and a kids’ pool supervised by lifeguards.
Positioned behind Axi Plaza’s vast second floor entrance and reception area, is the 200 square metre Axi Plaza Lounge overlooking the swimming pools, and serving Vietnamese fare.
Axi Plaza has also dedicated the first floor of the multi-purpose centre to 46 shops, ranging in size from 14 square metres to 239 square metres.
While adjacent to the Axi Plaza is the 12-hectare Anam Cam Ranh, set on a private stretch of beach with 213 rooms, suites and villas. The Anam is a five-star property, that combines a colonial era charm with Vietnamese accents, and sits alongside a contemporary beach resort, with a full-service Aman Spa.
To reach the resort it takes a 15-minute ride from the airport, which makes the resort a suitable place to stay for MICE delegates of Axi Plaza.
