Thailand-based hotel development company Dusit International is opening its first resort in Vietnam this month: the Dusit Princess Moonrise Beach Resort, which will be on the country’s largest island, Phu Quoc.
Located in the south of Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc is a fast-growing tourist destination known for its long, sweeping beaches, rich coral reefs, fresh seafood, pearl farms, and dense, tropical rainforest, Dusit said.
Operating under Dusit’s upper midscale Dusit Princess brand, the new resort is centrally located on the island’s west coast overlooking Bai Truong beach, which is also known as Long Beach. Phu Quoc (PQC) International Airport and the Duong To town center are a short drive away.
Designed to blend Dusit’s Thai heritage with Vietnamese culture and local traditions, the family-friendly resort comprises 108 contemporary guest rooms (ranging from Deluxe Rooms to Suites), most of which have ocean views.
The resort’s dining options include an all-day-dining restaurant, a lobby lounge, a swim-up pool bar serving Thai, Vietnamese and Western cuisines and Soi 14, a beachfront bar and lounge serving a contemporary spin on Thai street food.
The centerpiece of the resort is a large infinity pool with ocean views, set within a tropical garden. Other facilities include a gym, a kids club, a large ballroom accommodating up to 190 people, and Luna Thai Spa.
During their stay, guests can arrange to visit popular local attractions such as Phu Quoc National Park, part of the UNESCO designated Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve; Bai Sao beach; the Dinh Cau night market; and various traditional temples.
