Vietnam has taken a bold leap forward in redefining luxury island tourism with the debut of Rixos Phu Quoc, an immersive lifestyle and hospitality destination now open on Hon Thom Island—also known locally as Pineapple Island—just off the southern coast of Phu Quoc. This revolutionary development introduces Asia’s first “All-Inclusive, All-Exclusive” resort concept, offering travelers a new level of high-energy lifestyle, cultural discovery, and seamless service.
Developed by Sun Group in partnership with Ennismore under the Rixos Hotels brand, the 1,700-room resort represents a major milestone not just for Phu Quoc, but for Southeast Asia’s hospitality scene. Accessible via the Guinness World Record-holding Hon Thom Cable Car, the world’s longest three-way sea-crossing cable car, Rixos Phu Quoc blends architectural grandeur, natural beauty, and dynamic entertainment on a scale previously unseen in the region.
A First for Asia: “All-Inclusive, All-Exclusive” Luxury
Rixos Phu Quoc marks the Asian debut of the “All-Inclusive, All-Exclusive” service model—a hallmark of the Rixos brand—which balances unlimited access to luxury services with curated exclusivity. Guests enjoy 22 international restaurants, daily live performances, wellness programs, and immersive activities without compromising on individuality or opulence.
Culinary offerings range from traditional Vietnamese and Mediterranean cuisine to beachfront BBQs and elegant seafood lounges. For drinks and entertainment, guests have access to multiple poolside bars, sunset lounges, and live DJ sets that add vibrancy to the tropical nights.
Designed for All: From Couples to Families and Solo Travelers
The resort caters to all types of travelers, offering family suites, romantic seafront villas, and adult-exclusive zones. Wellness travelers can indulge in ocean-view yoga, spa treatments, hammams, and detox therapies. Adventure seekers can enjoy kayaking, parasailing, jet-skiing, and guided snorkeling excursions.
Children and teens are also at the heart of the Rixos Phu Quoc experience, with dedicated Rixy Kids Clubs, game zones, and youth-friendly cultural activities designed to entertain and educate. The all-day entertainment schedule includes cultural performances, poolside games, and beachside cinema nights.
Beyond the Resort: Culture, Adventure, and Sun Group Entertainment
Hon Thom Island is more than just a beach destination—it’s a cornerstone of Sun Group’s Sun Paradise Land complex. Adjacent to the resort lies Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park, a family-friendly amusement park featuring thrill rides, water games, and panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand.
Nature lovers can explore Hon Thom’s hiking trails, go diving among coral reefs, or take in a breathtaking sunset from one of the island’s many scenic viewpoints.
Guests are also encouraged to visit Sunset Town on southern Phu Quoc for cultural exploration. Here, attractions include:
- “Kiss of the Sea” Show: A groundbreaking nightly water and light show staged at the world’s largest permanent water projection theatre.
- VUI-Fest Night Bazaar: A bustling cultural market filled with Vietnamese street food, crafts, and performances.
- Kiss Bridge: An iconic photo location and architectural marvel stretching across the sea.
- Premier Golf Course: A world-class, forest-to-sea course with sweeping views over the coastline.
Phu Quoc: Vietnam’s Rising Star in Global Tourism
The launch of Rixos Phu Quoc arrives during a period of significant growth for Phu Quoc, which has rapidly evolved from a fishing island to an internationally recognized travel destination. Ranked among the Top 10 Islands in Asia and named #2 Best Island in the World by multiple travel authorities in 2024, the island continues to rise in global popularity.
Fueling this momentum is Phu Quoc’s unique 30-day visa exemption policy, available to all international travelers and Vietnamese nationals holding foreign passports. This makes it easier for both long-stay holidaymakers and spontaneous travelers to enjoy the island without administrative hurdles.
Rixos Phu Quoc: Setting New Standards in Southeast Asia
With its fusion of modern design, local heritage, and experiential luxury, Rixos Phu Quoc is more than a hotel—it’s a full-fledged destination. It positions Vietnam at the forefront of next-generation tourism by blending relaxation, culture, and adventure into a single, elevated experience.
From the honor of being Asia’s first “All-Inclusive, All-Exclusive” resort to its sustainable architecture and entertainment integration, the resort is expected to become a case study in transformative island tourism. For travelers seeking something extraordinary—whether it’s a sunset over the Gulf of Thailand, a wellness escape, or an immersive cultural journey—Rixos Phu Quoc delivers at every level.
