Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement to manage a huge integrated resort complex on the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc.
Scheduled to open in 2017, the new Mövenpick Resort Phu Quoc will cover more than 50 hectares of beachfront land on the southern resort island.
Overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, the resort will feature 250 hotel rooms, 100 residences and 50 luxury pool villas, plus a retail village, a lagoon-style swimming pool and water park, a spa, fitness centre, cooking school, beach club, kids’ club, water sports centre, and a hotel school with staff accommodation.
The complex will also target the MICE market with a beachfront venue for weddings and other events, a team-building “activity course”, and a 1,000m² convention centre.
“Being selected to manage… [this] integrated destination resort in Vietnam on a stunning island earmarked for ambitious tourism developments confirms our status as one of Asia’s leading hotel operators,” said Mövenpick’s president & CEO, Jean Gabriel Pérès.
“This exciting project will take our Vietnam portfolio to three properties strong by 2018 and paves the way for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts to manage similar large-scale destination resort developments across Asia where our strategy is to gain a strong foothold in sought-after locations.”
Mövenpick Resort Phu Quoc will be developed on Ong Lang Beach, close to the island’s international airport and its largest town, Duong Dong. Phu Quoc airport already welcomes flights from Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap, Hanoi and Singapore, and new direct services from China, Russia, Taiwan and Scandinavia are expected to commence in 2016.
Mövenpick currently operates the 154-room Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi and plans to open its second Vietnamese property, the 229-key Mövenpick Resort & Spa Quy Nhon, in 2018.
