Owning a luxury apartment in Ho Chi Minh City, but every month, 1-2 times, Mr. Khac Thien's family still tries to take time to temporarily leave home and the hustle and bustle of the city.
On average, Mr. Thien said he had to spend about 10-15 million VND per month for these trips. Although expensive, he said it was necessary, because after nearly 20 years of living and working in Ho Chi Minh City, he realized that the quality of life here was good, the job was good, but for relaxation and energy regeneration, it was not the first choice.
Renewable energy is an abstract concept that depends on each individual’s standards. In his story, Mr. Thien said that he chose to fill that gap in Ho Chi Minh City with a second home in the coastal city.
Second home beach, how far is enough?
Second homes by the sea are becoming increasingly popular, not only because of their economic benefits and high liquidity, but also because of their superior quality of life. According to Dr. Natasha Bijlani, a consultant psychologist, in an interview with Metro (UK), sea air is good for sleep because it is often cleaner and fresher.
Many studies around the world have also proven that living near the sea has a positive impact on both physical and mental health. For the purpose of enjoyment, a second home by the sea is a suggestion, Mr. Thien just needs to find the answer to the question, where is the right stop.
Many of his friends choose Da Nang , Nha Trang or Phu Quoc to own a second home. However, Mr. Thien has a different perspective.
Every time he goes away, Mr. Thien said that if it is not during a long vacation, he is always careful not to go too long or too far to avoid risks such as flight delays, bad weather, or during the pandemic, when it is inconvenient (or impossible) to use public transportation, he can still drive himself back to his second home. This is also the mindset that forms the trend of "drive-cation" (self-driving travel by car).
Considering the criteria of nature, distance, time, and potential, Vung Tau, a bustling "paradise" of marine economy, about 75 minutes from Saigon, is a suitable choice.
75 minutes is far enough to listen to an audiobook, enough to feel "unplugged", changing the space from hustle and bustle to peace. Also close enough to be able to return at any time, even on days when overtime ends at 10pm or weekends when waking up early suddenly not knowing what to do in the middle of a city that is too rushed.
When it comes to second homes by the sea, Vung Tau Centre Point has emerged as a new phenomenon recently. The project is located in the heart of the coastal city, facing a busy street known as "the development backbone of Vung Tau". But more importantly, this is one of the pioneering projects that set the living standards for the new trend of "living at a resort - resorting at the place of living".
From Vung Tau Centre Point, within a radius of about 300m, many amenities from cuisine, entertainment, swimming... are easily accessible by cycling or walking. And from the apartment, you can take in the whole view of the city favored by nature, where there are mountains, forests and surrounded by the sea.
Far away outside the window is the horizon with the silhouettes of the sea and mountains intertwined. Closer is the beauty of clouds and water blending in the moment the sun rises or sets, or the bustling city scene, glowing with festival lights all year round.
In addition, the project also elevates the resort experience to a new level with a system of more than 20 high-class utilities, serving more than 500 apartments with unique amenities: Sky Infinity Pool - Infinity pool with sea view, Coffee - Bar on high, tropical relaxation garden, Pergola walking bridge, gym, spa, international standard conference center and 5 floors of commercial services...
All promise to create a multi-dimensional journey of emotions with professionalism, freshness, excitement and positivity.
For Mr. Thien and many modern young people looking for a place to live a second life, this promises to be a worthy choice, converging many factors: second home in the center of the coastal city, short travel time between major cities, high-class amenities.
In particular, the cost to pay for an apartment here is only about 30 million VND/month, almost equal to the amount Mr. Thien spends on vacation. The difference is that Mr. Thien will enjoy special privileges in his own house and can exploit it for rent when not in use.
