About Marina Gold Hōtēra Whakatā
Ko Marina Gold he hōtēra whakatā kei te tahatai o Mui Ne ki te tonga-rāwhiti o Whitināmu. Ka piki hauroki te whare mai i te papa tuawhitu ki te papa rua tekau, e whakamahara ana ki te āhua o te kaipuke tere e rere atu ana. He puna kaukau papa-karaihe e toro whakawaho ana ki te moana i te papa o runga rawa, i te taha o tētahi rūma pāparakāuta me tētahi wharekai e whānui ana ngā tirohanga. Kei te taha o waho ngā papa kua whakaotia ki te koura e whakaata ana i te mārama o te tōnga o te rā. He raima whakakaha te hanganga me ngā wāhanga rino e tautoko ana i ngā wāhanga toro whakawaho. Kua whakaotia ngā rūma o roto ki te rākau me te māpere.

- Production Technology
- The building exterior features special gold-finished panels that reflect the sunset. The structure is primarily reinforced concrete with steel components enabling the cantilevered sections. The interior incorporates premium wood and marble finishes, enhancing the ambiance of a luxury cruise ship.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was balancing futuristic aesthetics with structural feasibility. The cantilevered glass-bottom pool required advanced engineering to ensure safety while maintaining visual lightness. Strict coastal regulations and material limitations influenced design choices. Extensive environmental analysis was conducted to optimize light reflection and aerodynamics. Overcoming these obstacles led to a harmonious blend of innovation, sustainability, and guest experience.
- Research
- This research integrates futuristic aesthetics with sustainable resort design. The goal was to create a structure that harmonizes with its coastal surroundings while evoking a luxury cruise ship. Simulations and material studies examined light reflection and aerodynamics. Guest experience studies informed spatial planning, enhancing both visual and functional engagement. The findings contribute to resort architecture, influencing sustainable tourism and coastal hospitality.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by Mui Ne Beach’s breathtaking sunset, the design theme is a "Floating Luxury Cruise Ship." The building’s golden exterior reflects the setting sun, creating the appearance of a ship glowing in warm golden hues. A glass-bottom pool and a panoramic restaurant on the rooftop provide an unparalleled resort experience, enhancing the connection between architecture and nature.
- Project Duration
- The project is scheduled to open in 2030 on Mui Ne Beach, Vietnam.
- Operation Flow
- Surrounded by Mui Ne Beach’s ocean and forest, the hotel provides a harmonious resort experience. The rooftop pool, bar, and expansive shared terrace on the 6th floor create a unique and memorable space for guests.
