New World Signs Third Hotel in Vietnam

New World has signed an agreement with Sun Group to rebrand and manage a new resort on Vietnam’s southern Phu Quoc island.

Scheduled to open in 2021, the New World Phu Quoc Resort (formerly the Sun Premier Village Kem Beach Resort) will not only be the 11th property and second resort to join New World’s portfolio across Asia, but also the third in Vietnam after the New World Saigon Hotel and the soon-to-open New World Hoiana Hotel.

The all-villa resort is situated on the southwestern tip of Phu Quoc, on nearly 60 hectares of land facing Kem Beach – a 3.5km crescent-shaped swathe of shoreline in the Gulf of Thailand.

More than half of the island is an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and much of its surrounding waters a marine preservation area.

Guests will be able to select from 375 villas ranging in size from 124 square metres to the 414-square-metre Sun Beach Front Villa. Every thatched-roof villa will include a private swimming pool and three separate living areas.

Facilities will include a variety of F&B options, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and studio, a spa with 16 treatment rooms and a kids’ club..

“We are very 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.”
