Hann Philippines pushes ahead with Clark integrated resort expansion

Hann Philippines aims to complete the second phase by 2030, which will include residential, retail, and golf entertainment developments, an international school, phases two and three of the public park, and a river golf course designed by professional golfer Nick Faldo.

The company is also planning its second integrated resort within Hann Reserve.

The property is expected to strengthen the Philippines’ position as a competitive destination for tourism and golf, Hann Reserve General Manager Timothy John Neil said.

Hann Reserve is a 15-minute drive from the 11-hectare Hann Casino Resort, the first integrated resort in the Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga.

Van Don Casino Resort was announced in December 2025 with a price tag of US$2 billion. Here are some renderings I found online. They seem outdated, and the design has likely been revised, but this gives an idea of the concept associated with the project.

Sun Group stated: “The project is planned under a modern ‘resort city’ model, aiming to create a regional-scale entertainment and tourism destination meeting international standards, integrating a wide range of tourism, accommodation, commercial, and entertainment functions, and operating on a 24/7 basis.”

Kangwon Land announced that it will begin extensive renovations of the Grand Hotel and Mountain Condo next month. 757 rooms, representing over 40% of the total 1,827 rooms across the two complexes, will be newly refurbished. The project budget is 200 billion won, making it the largest scale since the company's founding in 1998.

This renovation is part of the K-HIT Project, a comprehensive development strategy aimed at becoming a global integrated resort with 13 million annual visitors and 3.5 trillion won in revenue by 2035.

The project centers on three main pillars: the Grand Core Zone, which integrates world-class entertainment facilities; the Eco-friendly Wellness Zone; and the Leisure Sports Park. The Grand Core Zone will feature a Media Dome Arena centered around a large-scale dome-shaped entertainment space, three newly constructed hotel buildings, and a new Grand Casino. The Wellness Zone will consist of luxury villas equipped with hot springs and an outdoor garden spa. The Leisure Sports Park will operate seven types of forest-based activities, including a zip coaster, forest adventure, eco-rider, aerial net, observation deck, forest campsite, and forest healing center.
