With a design concept inspired by the local history and culture of Mui Dinh, the resort has been designed to be ecologically sustainable and will be one of the largest hospitality and leisure developments in Asia. The local Cham heritage of the area was a heavy influence on the design, especially its tribal culture and architecture. The architects were also inspired by the lost kingdom of Champa, a maritime empire glimpsed by Marco Polo in the 13th century. The ruins of sculptures, temples, and art remain on the coast of Vietnam as the only indications of the lost civilization.

This history of the area and the site’s rich natural ecosystem have acted as inspiration for the design of the Mui Dinh Ecopark. It aims to be a landmark sustainable destination in a picturesque area of rocky hills, lush vegetation and white sand beaches.
