Beachfront hotel on Bai Dai

Radisson Blu Resort Phu Quoc, a 514-room property overlooking the beach at Bai Dai in northern Vietnam has opened as part of an integrated resort on the country’s biggest island.

“Phu Quoc is fast developing a reputation as Vietnam’s answer to Thailand’s Phuket and the beach experience here is one of a kind,” said Radisson Blu Resort Phu Quoc’s General Manager Peter Feran of the brand’s first property in Vietnam. “This is a tropical island setting that comes right out of a storybook and is all the more spectacular every day at dusk when the sun goes down over the Gulf of Thailand.”

Located 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) from Phu Quoc International Airport, the resort is easily accessible from Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and other major cities, the company noted.

The opening comes as the group prepares to launch two other branded resorts, the Radisson Blu Resort Cam Ranh Bay and Radisson Phu Quoc Resort, a separate 218-room four-star resort on Truong Beach. The global hotel company has indicated its intention to pursue development opportunities in other Vietnamese destinations.
