This agreement represents the strategic alignment of two leading companies to enhance the scale, structure and international positioning of destination development in Vietnam. By integrating global brands into a master-planned ecosystem of entertainment, infrastructure and large-scale venues, we strengthen Phu Quoc’s ability to host world-class events and attract travelers from diverse international markets will be an era-defining moment, positioning the island on a global stage and creating lasting benefits for the entire region.
On Ruby Beach in southern Phu Quoc, Marriott will launch five new hotels under five different brands – W Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Le Méridien and Courtyard by Marriott within an 88.4-hectare mixed-use project being developed by Sun Group for APEC 2027. A short cable car ride to the paradise island of Hon Thom – Moxy Hotels and Fairfield by Marriott will have a prime beachfront location.
Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s ‘Pearl Island’, has become one of Asia’s most attractive tourist destinations, with many world-class attractions developed by Sun Group. Marriott’s hotel portfolio will serve as the hospitality anchor within a synchronized destination mode with direct access to iconic amenities such as the world’s longest three-wire cable car to Hon Thom Island, large-scale theme and water parks, internationally acclaimed multimedia shows, the Kiss Bridge and Sunset Town – where fireworks light up the sky every night, 365 days a year.
The addition of these seven new hotels and resorts, seamlessly woven into Sun Group’s prestigious projects, is expected to strengthen the destination’s status as an international hub for tourism, hospitality, leisure and MICE. The recent launch of Sun Group’s Sun Phu Quoc Airways has also contributed to the island’s international connectivity.
On Vietnam’s southeast coast, just a short drive from Ho Chi Minh City, the impressive new development of Vung Tau Blanca City is slated to showcase three brand new properties under the Marriott Hotels, Moxy Hotels and Four Points by Sheraton brands. With quick access from the newly opened Long Thanh International Airport, this will be an excellent beachside destination for both domestic and international travelers.
These 10 new properties will complement Marriott’s existing portfolio of 32 properties currently operating across Vietnam, across 11 of the group’s exceptional brands, with more than 50 properties in the development pipeline.
