Sun Premier Village Kem Beach Resort, now operating as New World Phu Quoc Resort, is a villa resort on Bai Kem in the south of Phu Quoc, developed by Sun Group. Designed by DarkHorse (Australia) and AEDAS (Hong Kong) as a “sea village” of thatched-roof villas, it has a building density of only about 17–21%. Villas were launched from mid-2017 and sold to investors with a rental programme; Sun Group later appointed New World Hotels & Resorts to run the resort, which welcomed its first guests in 2021.

Prices and buying

Villas were originally sold with a rental programme that promised a minimum yearly return for up to 15 years, plus owner nights across Sun Group resorts. On resale, ask how many years remain on that programme, the land-use term and the certificate type.

Renting and holiday use

Guests book villas by the night through New World. Owners in the programme receive rental income rather than letting privately.

Pros and cons

  • Pros: one of Phu Quoc’s best beaches, very low density, close to Hon Thom cable car and An Thoi, international operator
  • Cons: resort legal status, far from Duong Dong’s night market, income depends on the operator agreement

Who it suits

Families on holiday in south Phu Quoc, and investors who want a managed villa from a major developer.
