Blanca City Location & Infrastructure: Why Buy a Vung Tau Apartment at Beachtro Tower
The biggest question for buyers of a Vung Tau apartment is always: “Is it far from Ho Chi Minh City, and what would I buy it for?” This article analyses the location and infrastructure of Blanca City — home of Beachtro Tower — to explain why Vung Tau is shifting from a weekend getaway to a genuine place to live, and why a long-term-ownership beachfront apartment here is worth considering.

From 3 Hours to Just Over 1 — The Second-to-First-Home Shift
Only a few years ago, travelling from Ho Chi Minh City to this area took about 3 hours, including a ferry. Today, thanks to the expressway network — especially the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau expressway — the time has fallen to just over one hour. That change shifts buyer thinking: from seeing Vung Tau as a “second home” for holidays, many now view it as a place they can live regularly — a genuine first home.
Air – Sea – Road Connectivity
Blanca City sits in an area regarded as having leading infrastructure, with three connectivity modes:
- Road: the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau expressway and coastal road network shorten the trip to Ho Chi Minh City.
- Air: the area benefits from the South’s aviation growth — 2026 alone is set to add tens of millions of international arrivals, alongside expanding airport capacity.
- Sea: a coastal position with favourable ports and waterway trade.
Blanca City — A 96.7ha Seaside Township
Beachtro Tower does not stand alone — it sits inside Blanca City, a 96.7-hectare seaside township with 1km of beachfront, a building density of only about 27.9% and up to 21.4ha of parks. The three benefits of low density and a seaside setting: better air quality, natural space for coastal exercise, and a positive effect on mental health and stress.
Amenity Ecosystem & Brands
Beachtro residents enjoy the township’s amenity ecosystem: a large seaside shopping centre, a system of theme parks, coastal sports areas and premium operators such as JW Marriott and the Sun World amusement park. Regular fireworks festivals, pool parties and arts programmes are steadily shaping a more upscale, modern image for Vung Tau.
Why Choose a Vung Tau Apartment Now
In short, three reasons make a beachfront apartment like Beachtro worth considering: maturing infrastructure bringing Vung Tau closer to Ho Chi Minh City; living and tourism demand from a 10-million-population city and international arrivals; and long-term pink-book title — which Beachtro, as Blanca City’s last long-term-ownership tower, provides for eligible buyers. For owner-occupiers, it is a seaside first home; for investors, an asset with a clear tourism-rental base.
Ownership note: Beachtro apartments carry long-term pink-book title for eligible buyers under Vietnamese law. Foreign nationals cannot currently purchase at this project. Long-term pink-book title is available to eligible Vietnamese buyers, including overseas Vietnamese (Viet Kieu) with valid status; overseas buyers should consult a Realtique advisor on the compliant route. See our Foreign Buyer Guide.
Tourism & Rental Demand in Vung Tau
One reason a Vung Tau beachfront apartment appeals to investors is dual demand: it is the closest beach destination to Ho Chi Minh City while sitting beside the city’s 10-million-population market. As infrastructure shortens travel time and premium resort brands like JW Marriott and Sun World arrive, tourist volumes and demand for quality stays rise — the base for apartment rental occupancy within the township.
