Overlooking a crescent-shaped stretch of shoreline on the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc, New World Hotels & Resorts’ latest outpost expects to start welcoming guests next year.
Rosewood Hotel Group has been boosted by an exciting announcement involving its upper-upscale brand New World Hotels & Resorts. We find out more.
Sun takes a shine to New World
Sun Group has appointed New World to manage New World Phu Quoc Resort. Previously the Sun Premier Village Kem Beach Resort, this all-villa enclave on Phu Quoc will be the 11th property to join New World’s Asian portfolio and the third in Vietnam.
“We are grateful for the trust Sun Group has placed in us to manage this exquisitely designed resort in such a unique corner of the world,” said Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. “We can think of no more perfect opportunity to express our brand’s vision of genuine and heartfelt service than amidst the beauty of Phu Quoc and the warmth of its people.”
“This partnership between two of the most respected brands in hospitality will bring not only a superlative new experience for travellers to Vietnam, but reinforce Phu Quoc’s position as a world-class holiday destination,” added Dang Minh Truong, chairman of Sun Group.
A celebration of Phu Quoc
The resort is positioned on the southwestern tip of Phu Quoc. It spans almost 60 hectares of tropical landscape backing the crescent-shaped Kem Beach, which faces the Gulf of Thailand.
This village-like luxury enclave is ideally situated for exploring the rest of the densely forested island, which is bisected by the 99 Peak mountain range and fringed with idyllic beaches. Over half of Phu Quoc is a Unesco Biosphere Reserve and the surrounding waters also contain a marine preservation area.
The resort comprises 375 villas ranging from 124 to 414 sq m in size. Each thatched villas has its own private pool and interiors combining contemporary design with Vietnamese architectural elements. This accommodation is complemented by landscaped gardens, an outdoor pool and a culinary offering that includes an all-day cafe, speciality restaurant, pool bar and beachside restaurant dishing up both regional and international cuisine.
New World Phu Quoc Resort aims to reflect the charm of this island through its ambience, style and setting. Also known as Pearl Island, Phu Quoc comprises pearl farms, traditional villages, Buddhist pagodas and peppercorn plantations, and is celebrated for its abundant seafood.
New World Hotels & Resorts are deluxe business, MICE-focused hotels and resorts in primary and secondary cities across China, major Asian gateways and popular vacation destinations.
