Overview
Marina Golden Bay is set to be the first true "World-Class Iconic Landmark" of Central Pattaya. Currently under construction by the award-winning Global Top Group, this massive 14.5-rai complex (equivalent to 6 football fields) features three magnificent 51-story towers—Victoria, Geneva, and Elya. The architectural design is inspired by the full sails of a boat, creating a unique, nautical silhouette that will be visible from across the city.
As of February 2026, construction has reached approximately Floor 27 across the main structure, which is the signature facilities floor. The project is famous for its ambitious vertical layout, including Sky Restaurants on the 51st floor—planned to be the highest in Pattaya—and panoramic infinity pools at the midpoint of each tower. The base of the complex will integrate a luxury hotel and shopping mall, making it a self-contained destination.
