BIM Land, a member of BIM Group, and Sailing Club Leisure Group announced a long-term strategic partnership, underpinned by BIM Land’s investment in Sailing Club Leisure Group. The partnership marks a significant milestone in the evolution of both companies and sets the foundation for the next phase of growth across Vietnam and potentially the wider region.
Built on years of collaboration and mutual trust, the partnership brings together BIM Land’s strength in destination development and long-term real estate investment with Sailing Club Leisure Group’s proven track record in creating distinctive lifestyle hospitality brands and operating experiences that resonate with modern travellers.

Founded in 1994, both BIM Group and Sailing Club Leisure Group have evolved over three decades with a shared commitment to long-term value creation, quality and thoughtful growth.
The strategic partnership was signed in Hanoi in the presence of Mr. Doan Quoc Huy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BIM Group, alongside senior leadership from both organizations. The ceremony was also attended by Mr. Derek Walters, Director of Finance and Operations of Sailing Club Leisure Group, and Mr. Adam Riley, Head of Hospitality of BIM Group.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Ms. Doan Thanh Mai, Vice Chairwoman and Deputy CEO of BIM Group, said the partnership reflects a shared ambition to elevate hospitality experiences across BIM’s developments and beyond.
“At BIM Land, we take a long-term view in everything we do. Our partnership with Sailing Club Leisure Group is built on trust, alignment and a shared belief in creating destinations with real character and lasting value. Sailing Club has demonstrated a rare ability to translate vision into experience, and we are confident in their ability to grow thoughtfully and sustainably as a platform".
Mr. Peter Vidotto, Founder and Principal of Sailing Club Leisure Group, highlighted the strength of the relationship and the cultural alignment between the two organizations.
“Our journey with BIM Land has always felt natural. There is transparency, respect and a genuine appreciation for what each partner brings to the table. This partnership is rooted in friendship and trust, and it gives us the confidence to think bigger, move faster and continue doing what we do best - creating hospitality experiences with soul".
In Northern Vietnam, Sailing Club Leisure Group will operate branded hotels, resorts, and entertainment venues developed by BIM Land across the peninsulas of the Halong Marina urban development.
For Sailing Club Leisure Group, the partnership represents a defining moment in its evolution - from a founder-led business into a strategically backed hospitality platform, while remaining true to its human, hands-on DNA.
Mr. Louis Walters, Managing Director of Sailing Club Leisure Group, said:
“This partnership marks the next phase in Sailing Club Leisure Group’s growth. BIM Land’s investment is a strong validation of what our team has built over the years - and, importantly, of where we can go next. We remain deeply committed to our culture and ways of working, but we are now better equipped to scale our brands, attract great people and grow across Vietnam and beyond".
The partnership builds on successful collaborations between the two groups at key destinations, including Phu Quoc and Ha Long, and reflects BIM Land’s broader strategy to develop integrated tourism and lifestyle ecosystems. With BIM’s growing pipeline of developments and Sailing Club Leisure Group’s operating and brand-building expertise, both parties see significant opportunities ahead to create high-quality, internationally relevant hospitality concepts.
