Hilton is proud to announce the opening of La Festa Phu Quoc, the first Curio Collection by Hilton property in Vietnam. Located in the picturesque Sunset Town on Phu Quoc Island, this Amalfi Coast-inspired resort promises to transform the travel experience by blending romantic architectural cues with local culture, set against the backdrop of Vietnam’s famed island beauty.
Alan Watts, President of Asia Pacific at Hilton, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, "The opening of La Festa Phu Quoc marks a significant milestone in Hilton’s growth across Asia Pacific. Our collaboration with Sun Group in this venture allows us to introduce the unique Curio Collection by Hilton brand to Vietnam, tapping into the growing demand for top-tier hospitality and bespoke travel experiences in the region."
La Festa Phu Quoc is a manifestation of a romantic narrative inspired by a young couple’s travels and life as artists. The resort incorporates elements of their adventures in Amalfi, Italy, and Phu Quoc’s rich cultural tapestry, offering guests an array of vibrant spaces each telling part of this enchanting story. From the stunning beach views to the culturally infused architecture and interiors, every corner of the resort offers an inviting and picturesque scene.
The property features 197 rooms and suites, each a tribute to the sun-kissed landscapes of Italian coastal towns, complete with 19-69 Capri bath products. Dining options include MARE, an elevated Italian restaurant that brings the rich flavors of the Mediterranean to the table, and IL SALONE, a palazzo-inspired lobby bar that offers a moment of Italian-style leisure with its espresso and pastry selections.
Additional amenities at La Festa Phu Quoc include the award-winning eforea spa, which draws inspiration from both the Amalfi coast and the local surroundings of Phu Quoc. The spa offers a variety of treatments that promise relaxation and rejuvenation, tailored specifically for couples and individuals alike. For younger guests, the Kids’ Club provides a fun and engaging environment inspired by the iconic lemons of Amalfi.
Dang Minh Truong, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Sun Group, commented, "La Festa Phu Quoc is more than just a hotel; it’s a destination that encapsulates the essence of Phu Quoc and the fantasy of the Amalfi Coast. Our aim is to create an environment where guests can create lasting memories and experience the best of what both cultures have to offer."
La Festa Phu Quoc is also a proud part of Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest-loyalty program for Hilton's distinct hotel brands. Members booking directly through Hilton’s preferred channels have access to instant benefits including a member discount that can’t be found anywhere else.

Sterling Holiday Resorts has launched Sterling Ameris Kasauli, a boutique retreat nestled amidst pine-clad slopes and panoramic Shivalik views. Located along the scenic Dharampur–Kasauli Road, the resort invites travellers to slow down and rediscover mindful mountain living.
Once a colonial hamlet, Kasauli has grown into one of North India’s most loved escapes, where misty mornings, heritage trails, and a gentle pace of life blend seamlessly. Just a short drive from Chandigarh and Delhi NCR, Sterling Ameris Kasauli offers peace, wellness, and understated sophistication for travellers seeking a serene getaway.
The resort features Shivalik-facing rooms with private sit-outs, combining contemporary mountain chic with natural elegance. Warm palettes, handcrafted accents, and design simplicity mirror the quiet grace of its surroundings.
Dining at Valley View offers more than a meal, it’s a mindful experience. The pure-vegetarian menu features local classics like Siddu, Sepu Vadi, and Cholai Kheer, reinterpreted with modern sensibilities and served against panoramic mountain views. As evening falls, the terrace transforms into an open-air lounge, ideal for yoga, relaxation, or leisurely conversations.
As part of Sterling’s Discoveries & Experiences program, guests can explore Gilbert Trail, Manki Point, Christ Church, Sunset Point, or join guided pine walks to fully experience Kasauli’s charm.
Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO of Sterling Holiday Resorts, said, "Sterling Ameris Kasauli reflects our intent to grow with purpose, expanding into destinations that embody serenity, design, and discovery. Our ‘What a Trip’ curated circuits link destinations like Kasauli, Chail, Shimla, and Kufri into immersive travel experiences, shaping a soulful travel ecosystem across India."
Madhav Gupta, Director of Satvik Bliss Pvt. Ltd., added, "Our vision for Ameris Kasauli was to create a retreat that honours the land’s natural grace while offering guests refined simplicity. Partnering with Sterling was a natural choice, and together we hope to present Kasauli as a destination that stays with you long after you leave."
