AAC Blocks at The Arena Cam Ranh: 5-Star Resort Construction
EBLOCK AAC blocks (autoclaved aerated concrete) were selected as the primary wall material for The Arena Cam Ranh — the first large-scale condotel resort on Bai Dai Beach, Cam Ranh, delivering superior thermal insulation, fire resistance and acoustic comfort across 4 condotel towers.
Project Overview
Project name: The Arena Cam Ranh Location: Bai Dai Beach, Cam Ranh, Khanh Hoa Province Category: Commercial & Service — Resort Condotel Scale: 29.3 hectares | 500+ m coastline | 4 condotel towers Status: Completed and operational since August 2022
About the Project
The Arena Cam Ranh is the first and only large-scale resort entertainment complex on Bai Dai Beach. Developed on 29.3 hectares with over 500 meters of pristine coastline, the development includes four condotel towers — Sand, Sea, Light and Wind — each inspired by the nests of swallows and designed with innovative curved facades that give more than 90% of apartments direct ocean views.
The project integrates a full ecosystem of resort amenities: waterparks, event arenas, commercial zones, and direct beachfront access — making it one of the most comprehensive resort destinations in South-Central Vietnam. Since its completion in August 2022, The Arena has established itself as an architectural and hospitality benchmark for coastal condotel development in Khanh Hoa Province.
Why AAC Blocks Were Chosen for The Arena
In a coastal resort environment, building material selection is far more demanding than standard residential or commercial construction. Salt air accelerates corrosion, high humidity affects thermal comfort year-round, and guests expect hotel-grade acoustic privacy between units. The project team evaluated multiple wall systems before selecting EBLOCK AAC blocks based on four core performance criteria.
AAC Blocks — Key Technical Benefits for The Arena
Thermal insulation for coastal climate comfort
Cam Ranh’s tropical coastal climate presents significant heat challenges throughout the year. EBLOCK AAC blocks have a thermal conductivity of just 0.11–0.16 W/m K — one of the lowest among common building materials. This means external walls constructed with AAC blocks transfer substantially less heat into interior spaces compared to fired clay brick alternatives. For condotel guests, this translates to noticeably cooler rooms, reduced reliance on air conditioning, and lower energy consumption across the entire resort operation.
Acoustic privacy — a non-negotiable hospitality
Guest satisfaction in any condotel or hotel environment depends heavily on acoustic privacy between units. EBLOCK AAC blocks achieve a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 37–50 dB, providing effective sound insulation between rooms, corridors, and common areas. This performance level meets international hospitality-grade acoustic standards, ensuring that guests at The Arena enjoy the privacy and quiet they expect from a premium beach resort.
Fire resistance and building safety compliance
All wall assemblies at The Arena incorporating EBLOCK AAC blocks comply with QCVN 06 :2022 /BXD — Vietnam’s national technical regulation on fire safety for buildings. AAC walls of 100 mm thickness achieve a minimum 2-hour fire resistance rating, while 200 mm walls exceed 4 hours. For a high-rise resort complex accommodating of guests, this level of passive fire protection is a critical safety requirement.
Lightweight structure — optimizing foundation costs
EBLOCK AAC blocks have a dry bulk density of just 460–700 kg/m³ — approximately 2 to 3 times lighter than conventional fired clay bricks. Across four condotel towers, this significant reduction in wall dead load directly optimized the structural frame and foundation design, contributing to both construction cost efficiency and long-term building performance.
Precision dimensions for faster construction
The consistent dimensions and smooth surface geometry of EBLOCK AAC blocks minimize mortar joint thickness and reduce the volume of plastering required on finished walls. At the scale of The Arena’s four-tower development, this precision translated to measurably faster construction progress and reduced material waste during the finishing phase.
EBLOCK — The Trusted AAC Block Supplier for Resort Projects
EBLOCK AAC blocks are manufactured by New Era Home (NEH) at its 400,000 m³/year production facility in Ben Luc, Long An Province, in compliance with TCVN 7959 :2017 — Vietnam’s national standard for autoclaved aerated concrete products. NEH exports AAC blocks to over 20 international markets, reflecting a standard of production quality that meets both domestic and international project requirements.
For resort and hospitality developers seeking a wall system that simultaneously addresses thermal comfort, acoustic privacy, fire safety, and construction efficiency, EBLOCK AAC blocks represent the complete solution — as demonstrated at The Arena Cam Ranh.
