The Ritz-Carlton Can Gio is located at a prime riverside site in the heart of the Vinhomes Green Paradise coastal mega-urban area and is expected to open in Q4 2027.
The hotel will feature 9 floors and approximately 250 keys, with room sizes ranging from 50 to 500 sqm, including suites and pool villas. Facilities include six restaurants and bars, two swimming pools, a spa integrating hydrotherapy and thermal wellness, meditation spaces, a fitness center, beauty salon, and the Ritz Kids club. The event space will comprise three function rooms totaling approximately 540 sqm, catering to a wide range of meetings and events.
Can Gio Marriott Hotel, located adjacent to the opera house and near the golf course and sports complex within the coastal mega-urban area, is also scheduled to open in Q4 2027.
The hotel will rise 25 floors and offer approximately 450 rooms ranging from 40 to 160 sqm, including premium suites. Amenities include an M Club Lounge, a system of restaurants and bars, a swimming pool, Quan Spa, and a sports club. Additionally, the hotel will provide approximately 1,570 sqm of meeting and event space, including two ballrooms, catering to large-scale events.
Together, The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott Hotel will deliver approximately 700 rooms, featuring a diverse range of accommodations, from standard rooms and suites to villas, supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of premium amenities and world-class five-star infrastructure.
The development and operational collaboration will be managed by Vinpearl, a member of Vingroup. With extensive experience in luxury hospitality, Vinpearl will oversee and directly implement operations to ensure the effective performance of these international hotel brands, contributing to the positioning of luxury service standards commensurate with a global “urban wonder” such as Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio.
Mr. Gautam Bhandari, Chief Development Officer for Asia Pacific (excluding China) at Marriott International, stated:“Marriott International’s long-standing partnership with Vingroup has helped shape Vietnam’s hospitality market over the years. We currently operate 11 hotels with Vinpearl, a member of Vingroup, and have several projects under development. With Vingroup’s visionary approach, commitment to excellence, and strong core values, we are confident that this project will not only deliver high-quality accommodations but also elevate the destination and create sustainable value for the local economy.”
Ms. Ngo Thi Huong, Chief Executive Officer of Vinpearl Joint Stock Company, added:“Our collaboration with Marriott International to bring The Ritz-Carlton, Can Gio and Can Gio Marriott Hotel represents a strategic step toward introducing global luxury service standards to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio. Beyond developing internationally branded hotels, we aim to build a fully integrated service ecosystem, enhancing customer experience, strengthening operational capabilities, and aligning service quality with global standards, so that residents and visitors can enjoy international-level experiences right here in Vietnam.”
Previously, Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio partnered with IHG Hotels & Resorts to develop four hotels with a total of 1,000 rooms. The presence of international brands such as IHG Hotels & Resorts and Marriott International not only expands accommodation capacity but also significantly enhances the project’s ability to attract global visitors. This forms a critical foundation for the coastal mega-urban area to elevate experiences and move closer to its goal of becoming a world-class residential, tourism, and resort destination.
Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio is a 2,870-hectare coastal mega-urban development located in the southeastern part of Ho Chi Minh City, featuring three sides facing the sea and adjacent to a 75,000-hectare biosphere reserve recognized by UNESCO. The project benefits from major infrastructure connectivity, including the Ben Thanh – Can Gio high-speed railway (reducing travel time to 13 minutes from central Ho Chi Minh City), the Can Gio Bridge, the Rung Sac – Ben Luc – Long Thanh interchange, and the Can Gio – Vung Tau coastal expressway.
A distinctive feature of the project is its integrated Green – Smart – Ecological & Regenerative model aligned with leading global ESG++ standards. Alongside its spectacular natural setting and green living environment, the development offers a synchronized amenity system and unique highlights, including the 122-hectare VinWonders theme park featuring the world’s tallest artificial snow mountain and nearly 200 attractions; the 800-hectare Paradise Lagoon; Landmark Harbour international port; the 5,000-seat Song Xanh Opera House; an international-standard golf course; and a portfolio of five-star accommodation. These elements form the foundation for Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio to emerge as a new “urban wonder”, with the capacity to welcome up to 40 million visitors annually in the future.

In 2024, the two sides adopted an Action Plan to implement the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for the 2024-2028 period. This document not only consolidates traditional areas of cooperation but also expands into new domains such as science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, energy and sustainable development.
Economy continues to be a bright spot in bilateral cooperation
Over the past decade, Vietnam-India economic cooperation has recorded significant positive developments. Bilateral trade turnover has maintained steady growth, increasing from over USD 14 billion in 2023 to nearly USD 16.5 billion in 2025, reflecting the increasingly close integration between the two dynamic Asian economies.
The structure of two-way trade has increasingly demonstrated complementarity. Vietnam has strengthened its exports of electronics, machinery, processed agricultural products, wood, and seafood, while India serves as an important supplier of steel, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and textiles to Vietnam.
Amid the ongoing restructuring of global supply chains, both Vietnam and India are intensifying efforts to diversify their partners and reduce dependency risks. This creates significant room for the two countries to promote supply chain linkages in areas such as processing and manufacturing industries, supporting industries, logistics, and high-tech agriculture. Vietnam, with its strategic location in Southeast Asia, can serve as a gateway for Indian enterprises to expand their presence deeper into ASEAN, while India represents a vast market with rapidly increasing consumer demand.
Science and technology: a new driver for deeper cooperation
Scientific and technological cooperation has seen remarkable development recently, gradually shifting from exchanges to more substantive collaboration, tied to specific products and developmental needs. Priority areas of cooperation include information technology, biotechnology, clean energy, and digital transformation.
Several representative projects, such as the Satellite Data Receiving Station and Satellite Image Processing Center, the Vietnam-India Nuclear Science Center (Da Lat), the Army Software Park (Nha Trang), and the Center of Excellence in Software Development and Training (CESDT), have been contributing to enhancing Vietnam’s technological capacity. Notably, the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) program continues to be an effective channel for human resource training, helping Vietnamese officials and experts access modern management knowledge and experience.
Against the backdrop of the vigorous Fourth Industrial Revolution, the potential for cooperation between the two countries remains vast. The two sides can expand their cooperation into emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors, cybersecurity, fintech, and biotechnology, aiming for the goals of co-development and co-innovation.
Environmental cooperation and sustainable development are gradually expanding
In the context of increasingly complex climate change, environmental cooperation between Vietnam and India is becoming an important component of the bilateral agenda. Areas such as renewable energy, water resource management, circular economy, and disaster-resilient infrastructure are receiving growing attention and promotion from both sides.
Cooperation agreements in marine science, along with Quick Impact Projects (QIPs) supporting communities, such as clean water supply, drought mitigation, and saline intrusion prevention in the Mekong Delta, have delivered practical results. Vietnam’s participation in the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), initiated by India, also opens up opportunities to strengthen cooperation in sustainable infrastructure and climate change adaptation.
In the coming period, areas encompassing solar energy, energy storage, waste management, marine pollution monitoring, and early warning systems for natural disasters are considered promising directions for cooperation.
Prospects for cooperation
The prospects for cooperation in the coming period are assessed as positive. With the economic and scientific-technological complementarity, along with strong political will from both sides, Vietnam-India relations have many favorable conditions to grow more strongly, particularly in areas such as the digital economy, green economy, innovation.
Orientations for promoting cooperation in the coming period
With a foundation of excellent relations and significant room for cooperation, the two countries have the basis to elevate the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to a new height, making it increasingly substantive and effective in the new phase, particularly in the context of the two countries heading towards new high-level engagements with the state visit of General Secretary and President To Lam to India in May 2026.
To effectively capitalize on opportunities, both sides need to continue maintaining high-level exchanges, intergovernmental mechanisms and specialized dialogues, and further translate strategic commitments into cooperation programs and projects with clear roadmaps and resources.
In the economic field, efforts should be intensified to remove trade barriers, improve logistics connectivity, and promote the review and upgrading of the ASEAN – India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA); strengthen the development of large-scale investment projects in priority areas such as pharmaceuticals, the marine economy, renewable energy, and supporting industries.
In the field of science and technology, establishing joint research cooperation mechanisms, strengthening linkages between research institutes, universities, enterprises, as well as promoting expert exchanges, technology transfer, and human resource training will play an important role.
In the environmental field, efforts should be directed toward building a comprehensive green cooperation framework, focusing on water management, marine science, plastic pollution reduction, clean energy, and disaster-resilient infrastructure, while also effectively leveraging regional initiatives such as the CDRI.
