There’s plenty to discover across the sprawling resort, and guests are encouraged to explore the scenic botanical gardens on sand bikes or walk the dragon’s gateway coastal paths.

Located on the scenic Hon Thom Island in Southern Phu Quoc, Rixos Phu Quoc is just a 45-minute flight from Vietnam’s largest city, Ho Chi Minh City. Recently voted number two in the Best Islands in the World list for Travel+Leisure’s World’s Best Awards 2024, just behind Maldives, the island was recognised for its understated tranquillity and richly endowed. Boasting unparalleled sea views and lush mountain backdrops, this secluded paradise is accessible from the mainland through the World Guinness record’s 3-wire longest cable car with a quick 15-minute commute from the mainland or a short boat ride.
In addition, the area surrounding the hotel features Sun World Hon Thom, a lively theme park with a vibrant indigenous atmosphere. Here, guests can enjoy Aquatopia, Asia’s premier water park, and Exotica Village, an entertainment park with the iconic wooden roller coaster. This is also the perfect place to enjoy dynamic live shows throughout the day and endless fun pool parties.

The exclusive island of Phu Quoc is the perfect location to bring the Rixos all-inclusive experience to Asia for the first time, with its breathtaking landscape, sandy beaches and clear blue waters. As the only all-inclusive resort on the island, Rixos Phu Quoc will set a new standard inspired by local culture and Turkish influences, establishing itself as the ultimate luxury leisure escape.”
