Marriott International has signed an agreement with Sun Group to develop 10 hotels and resorts across Phu Quoc and Vung Tau in Vietnam, adding about 4,500 rooms to its portfolio between 2026 and 2030.
The agreement includes projects under eight Marriott brands and will introduce W Hotels and Moxy Hotels to Vietnam for the first time. The developments are part of Sun Group’s integrated tourism projects in both destinations.
Seven of the properties will be located in Phu Quoc, including hotels under the W Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Le Méridien and Courtyard by Marriott brands. Additional projects on Hon Thom island include Moxy Hotels and Fairfield by Marriott.
In Vung Tau, three properties are planned under the Marriott Hotels, Moxy Hotels and Four Points by Sheraton brands, within the Blanca City development. The destination is located near Ho Chi Minh City and will benefit from access to Long Thanh International Airport.
The projects are aligned with preparations for APEC 2027, which will be hosted in Phu Quoc. Sun Group is developing an 88.4-hectare mixed-use site at Ruby Beach, where five of the hotels will be located.
Phu Quoc has seen increased tourism development in recent years, supported by infrastructure projects and attractions including a cable car to Hon Thom island, theme parks and entertainment facilities.
Marriott currently operates 32 properties across Vietnam under 11 brands, with more than 50 additional projects in the pipeline.
Rajeev Menon, president, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International, commented: “Marriott’s portfolio in Vietnam has doubled since 2022, as we cater to record numbers of international travellers and rising demand from domestic guests seeking world-class accommodation. Our continued collaboration with Sun Group… reinforces our commitment to the long-term future of Vietnam.”
“Phu Quoc’s hosting of APEC 2027 will be an era-defining moment… creating lasting benefits for the entire region,” added Dang Minh Truong, chairman of Sun Group.
