Homestays Newlife Vip

Homestays Newlife Vip is an apartment in Hung Thang, Ha Long Bay, 2.7 km from the centre, with sea-view units and a private beach area. Rather than hotel rooms, it offers self-contained apartments, each with a living room, a kitchen and its own bathrooms, so the stay works well for groups who want to cook and spread out.

The Two-Bedroom Apartment covers 75 m² and sleeps up to six, with two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms with showers. The larger Three-Bedroom Apartment spans 105 m², with three bedrooms and room for up to eight. Both have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, a balcony or terrace and sea views, and an infinity pool is one of the standout features of the apartments.

Practical services include private check-in and check-out, luggage storage, 24-hour security, a lift, a minimarket and a lounge. The property also offers a paid shuttle service and an electric vehicle charging station, and Bai Chay Beach is a 15-minute walk away.

Every unit at Homestays Newlife Vip is an apartment, and the two types share the same core equipment. Each has a private bathroom with free toiletries, air conditioning, a kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator and electric kettle, a washing machine, a flat-screen TV and a balcony or terrace. Sea views and city views run through the whole range.

The range comes in two sizes. The Two-Bedroom Apartment, at 75 m², has two separate bedrooms with large king-size beds, a living room and room for up to six guests. The Three-Bedroom Apartment, at 105 m², adds a third bedroom and sleeps up to eight, with a living room and a terrace. Only one of its three bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom, so the larger layout suits a group rather than a couple. The choice comes down to group size and how much space you need.

The facilities at Homestays Newlife Vip are built around self-catering and convenience. Inside the apartments you will find air conditioning, a kitchen with refrigerator, stovetop and electric kettle, a washing machine, a wardrobe, a hairdryer, towels and a bidet in the bathroom, plus hardwood or parquet floors.

Around the building there is a lounge with a TV area, a minimarket, an ATM, luggage storage, a designated smoking area and a lift. Security comes from 24-hour security, CCTV outside the property, key card access and a security alarm. Private check-in and check-out are offered, and a paid shuttle service and an airport shuttle are available.

Free public parking is possible on site without a reservation, and an electric vehicle charging station is also available. Free WiFi covers all areas, and pets are allowed on request, though charges may apply. Outdoor furniture, a terrace and a private beach area complete the outdoor side of the stay.

Homestays Newlife Vip stands in Hung Thang, a district on the west side of Ha Long city, 2.7 km from the centre. Hung Thang is a newer quarter of hotel and apartment towers grouped around Halong Marina, west of the Bai Chay tourist area, so the streets around the property are more residential and recently built than the older lanes of the town. The Cái Dăm Market is 400 m away and the Vinpearl Ferry Terminal is 550 m away, both within a few minutes on foot.

Bai Chay Beach is 1.2 km away, a walk of about 15 minutes, and the Bai Chay Bus Terminal, 2.5 km from the property, is the stop for longer coach journeys. The Halong International Cruise Port, 3.3 km away, is the departure point for many bay cruises. For the centre and the rest of Bai Chay, a taxi is the simplest option, and the property offers a paid shuttle service.

Sunworld, the theme park in Bai Chay, is 2.8 km away, and the Ga Đại Dương cable car station is 2.7 km away, so a day out in the Bai Chay tourist area is an easy trip by taxi. In the morning, the Chợ Vườn Đào market, 3.1 km away, is a good place to see local shopping, and Quảng Trường Mặt Trời is 2 km away for a walk. Restaurants and cafés are a short walk from the apartments, including Nhà Hàng Lâm Hải and Highlands Coffee, so an evening out nearby does not need a taxi.
