The bay is located in Phu Yen Province, with direct transport links to Tuy Hoa township and its airport.

A marina and a village will be constructed, and Bai Mon beach will be developed and connected by a 2.5-km pedestrian path. With its naturally deep water and sheltered bay, the marina will be the gateway to Vung Ro. It will comprise 350 berths, a waterfront hotel, and retail space for shops, bars and restaurants along the corniche.

The village will be at the centre of the development, providing the majority of the residential accommodation. A 650m retail street will support the community. Bai Mon – with its extensive and wide, flat sandy beach – will feature a beach resort offering a variety of water sports and an exclusive boutique hotel along its 400-metre shore.

According to the developers, the entire Vung Ro Bay project will emphasise sustainable development and focus on creating a thriving ecology of education, healthy lifestyle, and culture.

The enclave will comprise several hotels with over 760 rooms, 4,300 apartments, 100 luxury townhouses, a variety of retail shops and 350 marina berths. There will be space for schools, healthcare facilities, retail, and entertainment complexes.
