Ritz-Carlton Can Gio Vietnam: What to Know

If Vietnam is not already on your travel list, it needs to be. Specifically, you need to know about Ritz-Carlton Can Gio Vietnam. A major partnership between Vinhomes Green Paradise and Marriott International will bring two world-class hotel brands to Can Gio, just outside Ho Chi Minh City. Both The Ritz-Carlton and the Marriott Hotel are expected to open in Q4 2027. Together, they will add approximately 700 rooms to one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting new coastal destinations.

This is the kind of announcement that signals a destination is ready for the global stage. So let me break down exactly what is coming, and why it matters.

What Is Ritz-Carlton Can Gio Vietnam?

The Ritz-Carlton Can Gio Vietnam will sit in a prime riverside position at the heart of the Vinhomes Green Paradise development. Because location is everything in a resort destination, this placement matters enormously. The property will rise nine floors and offer approximately 250 keys. Furthermore, room sizes will range from 50 to 500 square meters, including suites and pool villas that are genuinely generous in scale.

The amenity offering is equally impressive. Specifically, guests can expect six restaurants and bars, two swimming pools, and a spa that integrates hydrotherapy and thermal wellness. Additionally, the property will include meditation spaces, a fitness center, a beauty salon, and the Ritz Kids Club. For meetings and events, three function rooms totaling approximately 540 square meters complete the picture.

The Ritz-Carlton brand is known worldwide for service that is intentional rather than generically upscale. Therefore, bringing that standard to a riverside setting beside a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve has the potential to be something truly special.

What the Can Gio Marriott Hotel Will Offer

While Ritz-Carlton Can Gio Vietnam offers intimacy and refinement, the Can Gio Marriott Hotel brings scale and versatility. The property will rise 25 floors and offer approximately 450 rooms ranging from 40 to 160 square meters. Moreover, it sits adjacent to the development’s opera house and near the golf course and sports complex.

The amenities here are extensive. Guests will find the M Club Lounge, a system of restaurants and bars, a swimming pool, Quan Spa, and a sports club. Additionally, the hotel will offer approximately 1,570 square meters of event space, including two ballrooms. As a result, Can Gio becomes a serious contender for corporate retreats, conferences, and large-scale celebrations, the kind of infrastructure that benefits leisure travelers too.

Why Can Gio Is a Destination Worth Watching

The setting alone makes Can Gio worth knowing about. Vinhomes Green Paradise is a 2,870-hectare coastal development with three sides facing the sea. It sits adjacent to a 75,000-hectare UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve. Consequently, it offers something increasingly rare, world-class hospitality alongside genuinely protected natural landscape.

The infrastructure story is equally compelling. A planned high-speed railway between Ben Thanh and Can Gio will reduce travel time from central Ho Chi Minh City to just 13 minutes. In other words, this will be a full resort escape that is also minutes from one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic cities.

Beyond the hotels, the development includes a 122-hectare theme park, an 800-hectare Paradise Lagoon, the 5,000-seat Song Xanh Opera House, and an international golf course. Clearly, this is not a single-hotel story. This is an entire destination being built from the ground up.

Operations for both properties will be managed by Vinpearl, Marriott’s long-standing Vietnam partner. Currently, Vinpearl operates 11 Marriott-affiliated hotels across the country. Because of that established relationship, the delivery of brand-standard service is already well proven.

The Bigger Picture for Vietnam

This partnership is part of a much larger story. Vietnam has long attracted adventurous and culturally curious travelers. However, what is changing now is the infrastructure to support travelers who want cultural richness alongside genuine luxury, not as a compromise, but as a complete package.

As Marriott International’s Chief Development Officer for Asia Pacific Gautam Bhandari noted: the company’s partnership with Vingroup has helped shape Vietnam’s hospitality market for years. Furthermore, with 11 existing hotels and several more in development, the foundation for excellence is already well established.

Meanwhile, Vinpearl CEO Ngo Thi Huong described the goal clearly: to build a fully integrated service ecosystem where residents and visitors enjoy international-level experiences right in Vietnam. That ambition, backed by two of the world’s most recognized hotel brands, is worth taking seriously.

What This Means for You

Can Gio is not yet on most American travelers’ itineraries. That is precisely why it deserves attention now, before the crowds arrive and the early-adopter advantage is gone. Moreover, the combination of UNESCO-protected nature, Ritz-Carlton Can Gio Vietnam luxury, and a major city just minutes away checks an unusual number of boxes simultaneously.

For the traveler who wants luxury without sacrificing authenticity, or wellness without giving up adventure, Can Gio in late 2027 is a destination worth planning toward. I will be watching this one closely. And I suggest you do the same.

The Ritz-Carlton Can Gio Vietnam and Can Gio Marriott Hotel are both expected to open Q4 2027 as part of the Vinhomes Green Paradise development in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. For more information visit vinhomes.vn.
