Part of the Reu Island cluster in Quang Ninh, Reu Island Ha Long is a charming, picturesque islet spanning 13 hectares and located just 700 meters from the mainland. Once a pristine and untouched location, Reu Island Ha Long has been exquisitely transformed by Vingroup into a luxury, world-class resort destination in Ha Long. Discover more about Reu Island Ha Long in the article below.
Introduction to Reu Island Ha Long
Before the magnificent Vingroup Ha Long Bay Resort graced its shores, this destination was simply known as Reu Island, situated approximately 500 meters from the former Bai Chay Tourist Wharf. The island boasts a rich, ancient history. According to archaeologists, through the prehistoric progression of three distinct cultures—Soi Nhu, Cai Beo, and Ha Long—the bay area demonstrates that Ha Long Bay and its surrounding regions were once a cradle of human civilization. Prior to French occupation in 1883, Reu Island was entirely uninhabited. Following liberation, in 1962, the Ministry of Health established a monkey breeding station on the island to support medical research and the production of vital vaccines. In recent years, Dat Reu Island was acquired by Vingroup and developed into the prestigious Vinpearl Ha Long resort, emerging as a premier tourist landmark in the city of Ha Long.

In 2013, Vingroup proposed to Quang Ninh Province an investment policy to construct a high-end seaside resort complex (Vinpearl Resort & Spa Ha Long) on the island. The project encompasses a total area of 4.96 hectares, comprising 4 hectares of land and 0.96 hectares of water surface, with a total investment exceeding 900 billion VND. The resort draws inspiration from the Opéra de Rennes in France, featuring a sweeping, arc-shaped design that gently embraces the sea, exuding a unique charm that harmonizes flawlessly with nature.
Two years later, as if by magic, Reu Island was transformed from an “ugly duckling” into a majestic “swan.” A luxury, world-class resort named Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort came to life directly on Reu Island. With a total construction footprint of up to 47,000m2, Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort features 384 opulent hotel rooms, all boasting stunning 360-degree ocean views. Showcasing contemporary architecture, Vinpearl Ha Long Bay Resort stands as a magnificent masterpiece reflecting upon the open sea. Alongside world-class accommodations and amenities, the resort offers an ideal venue for MICE tourism (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) with the Vinpearl Convention Hall, featuring 5 state-of-the-art conference rooms capable of accommodating thousands of guests. Thus, this premier five-star overwater resort in Northern Vietnam has redefined Ha Long travel from mere “sightseeing” to elite “relaxation,” catering to all leisure, recreational, and corporate gathering needs of discerning travelers.
