Phu Quoc that has emerged as one of the most chic destinations in Vietnam sees the opening of Sheraton Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort, opened in strategic partnership with Vietnamese conglomerate Vinpearl Group.

Marriott International has announced the opening of Sheraton Phu Quoc Long Beach, located on a 4 km stretch of a pristine beach on the west coast of Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s largest island.

According to a press statement, Sheraton Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort blends traditional grandeur with modern simplicity, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. Rebranded from the existing Vinpearl Resort & Golf Phu Quoc, the property will offer 459 spacious rooms, suites, and villas alongside multiple food and beverage outlets, extensive conference space, three pools overlooking the turquoise ocean, a spa, a fitness centre and a kids’ club.

The statement adds that the property is part of a strategic agreement with Vinpearl, Vietnam’s largest hospitality and leisure chain, to convert and develop 2,200 rooms across six hotels in Vietnam.

Set in the popular Ganh Dau area on one of the Pearl Island’s most scenic beaches, the resort offers proximity to popular landmarks, including Vietnam’s largest theme park VinWonders Phu Quoc, Vinpearl Safari, Corona Casino, Grand World Phu Quoc entertainment complex and an 18-hole golf course.

The statement adds that with views of the sparkling ocean at sunset or the resort’s lush tropical garden at sunrise, 42-sqm Deluxe Rooms come with private balconies and ample space for a family of three. The décor introduces soft tones and organic textures framed by natural surroundings to encourage a sense of calm. At 80 sqm, one-bedroom suites feature a separate living room and two balconies for perfect moments of serenity amid the breeze and birdsong. The resort’s sumptuously appointed two- to four-bedroom villas, meanwhile, range from 190 to 360 sqm and come with a private pool, fully equipped kitchen and living space offering views of the ocean or the garden.

The statement says that the property comes with numerous dining options as well as bars. Nestled at the water’s edge, the swim-up Pool Bar with its glass dome and classical columns complements the acanthus mosaic of the sweet-water pool to create an ambiance of timeless sophistication. For a Pan-Asian a la carte experience with a focus on Vietnamese, Indian, Korean and Chinese flavours any time of the day, guests can settle in The Garden Court or opt for the Patio Lounge for something lighter. The lounge, with its comfortably upholstered high-back armchairs and soft light is an ideal place to start a new day with a cup of coffee or arrange an after-dinner social rendezvous and taste exquisite selection of wines to a backdrop of live music, it says.

Finally, Prime Bar & Grill, a buffet restaurant with outdoor seating facing the sea, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner serving everything from fresh local shellfish to premium steaks and an array of Southeast Asian flavours in a simple, modern setting framed by ocean views.

The statement adds that with Vinpearl’s world-class Convention Centre located only a five-minute ride from the resort, Sheraton Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort can host events of up to 3,000 participants, with lush outdoor space for team-building activities for up to 500 guests available on property. From open-air client gatherings and cocktail receptions on a spacious lawn to private BBQ dinners, companies have ample opportunity to elevate their function and unlock the teams’ creativity with Sheraton’s signature style and service. For couples, the resort’s outdoor venues offer an inspiring setting for wedding ceremonies and receptions coupled with intuitive service and five-star catering.

Just outside the resort awaits a world of exhilarating experiences for the entire family.  VinWonders, the largest theme park in Vietnam, is a water wonderland of rollercoasters and daily shows, while Vinpearl Safari with almost 200 different species and a total of 3,000 animals offers an insight into local flora and fauna.

For shopping and additional dining options, holidaymakers can explore the numerous offerings at Grand World, an entertainment complex located just a five-minute free shuttle drive from the resort and offering a kaleidoscope of themed restaurants, seafood streets, night markets, BBQ gardens, and diverse beach clubs. Golf aficionados, meanwhile, can practise their swing at the 18-hole Vinpearl Golf course with unique terrain in the middle of a primaeval forest, right next door to the property, while punters can try their luck in the 24-hour Corona Casino.
