Vietnam’s breathtaking Dragon Pearl Cave is set to undergo a grand transformation from April this year, as Asia Premier Cruises (APC) Corporation launches an exclusive cave dining experience. This immersive event, believed to be one of the largest of its kind, will offer guests a unique blend of gourmet cuisine and live entertainment inside a stunning natural wonder.

Located just 30 minutes from Halong City in Bai Tu Long, the 4000-square-metre cave will accommodate up to 800 guests for daily lunch and dinner experiences. Known as a "theatre inside a mountain" due to its two chambers adorned with striking stalagmites and stalactites, Dragon Pearl Cave is set to become a world-class dining and cultural venue.

A Blend of Culinary Excellence and Live Music

APC's chefs are curating a diverse menu ranging from an international buffet to refined fine dining. The experience will begin in the cave’s first chamber, serving as a reception area, before guests move into the larger second chamber for dining and a spectacular 45-minute live performance.

The renowned Suc Song Moi Orchestra will take center stage, delivering a mesmerizing performance featuring 30 musicians and seven vocalists. Their repertoire will include traditional Vietnamese folk music such as Trống Cơm and Mùa Xuân Ơi, alongside a creative rendition of Vietnam Style, a cultural take on the famous Gangnam Style.

A Historic Milestone in Cultural Tourism

Nguyen Cao Son, Chairman of APC Corporation, emphasized the significance of this initiative:

“Our mystical cave dining journey will mark a new milestone in Vietnam's cultural tourism, turning a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site into a remarkable stage that celebrates nature, history, art, and cuisine.”

APC recently conducted a trial run by filming three orchestral performances inside the cave. The acoustics and atmosphere created an ethereal experience, further confirming its potential as a premier destination for travelers seeking unique culinary and cultural adventures.

Music Meets Nature: A Conductor’s Perspective

Dong Quang Vinh, the esteemed conductor of Suc Song Moi Orchestra, expressed his enthusiasm about the project:

“Performing inside Dragon Pearl Cave was both exhilarating and humbling. The natural acoustics and the ancient rock formations created a deep connection between music and nature.”

As an internationally acclaimed conductor, Vinh has worked with prestigious orchestras, including the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet and the Shanghai Opera House Symphony Orchestra. His involvement elevates the artistic credibility of this endeavor.

A Must-Visit Destination in 2024

With the fusion of history, culture, and culinary artistry, Dragon Pearl Cave's new venture is poised to become a bucket-list experience for travelers worldwide. This initiative redefines luxury tourism, making it a must-visit attraction for those exploring Vietnam’s rich heritage and natural beauty.

Wynn Al Marjan Island, the much-anticipated luxury destination opening in early 2027 in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, has unveiled Enclave, a hyper-exclusive residential experience that reimagines luxury hospitality. Perched atop the resort’s 1,000-foot tower, Enclave offers just 313 meticulously designed rooms, ranging from plush Enclave King Suites to two sprawling Royal Apartments, each a masterstroke by acclaimed designers Anouska Hempel and Pinto Design.

Every detail, from platinum and sea mist tones to dual pantry service and culturally sensitive in-suite amenities, reflects an unmatched level of craftsmanship, privacy, and refinement. Guests arrive through a private verdant drive into an Enclave-only lobby, followed by private elevator access to floors housing no more than 15 suites each, ensuring tranquillity and exclusivity. With a private beach, three pools, and on-demand beach butlers, Enclave transforms leisure into luxury. 

Culinary offerings include an Enclave-exclusive skylit Lebanese restaurant and a chic Lobby Lounge serving artisanal cocktails and petit menus. Wynn’s design ethos “veiling and revealing”  is woven into every touchpoint, with thoughtfully curated art, lush gardens, and a sensory restraint that whispers rather than shouts luxury.

This rarefied atmosphere, rich in storytelling and elegance, is set within the broader Wynn Al Marjan Island development that spans 60 hectares with 1,217 rooms, world-class dining, wellness facilities, designer boutiques, a marina for superyachts, and Coral Court for grand events. With construction on track and the tower spire topping out in 2025, Enclave stands poised to become the crown jewel of ultra-luxury living in the Middle East and beyond.
