The affiliation expansion followed RCI’s adding APEC Mandala Mui Ne in Binh Thuan province to its exchange network in July 2022.

APEC Mandala Phu Yen is a new entertainment destination in central Vietnam, with 5-star services like a sky bar and infinity pool, restaurant, gym, spa, and more. Set in the scenic province of Phu Yen, guests can experience a range of activities, from sports and beauty to shopping and parties, while enjoying the area's beautiful beaches and landscapes.

The resort features 5-star facilities, including hot mineral baths, wine baths, mud baths, and a multi-use entertainment complex. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

APEC Mandala Mui Ne, located in Binh Thuan province and about 200 kilometers north of Ho Chi Minh City, is a large-scale project with a unique location, ‘water-oriented’ land, and mandala-inspired architecture with unique design, quintessential interior interference between cultures, said Nguyen Quang Huy, Deputy CEO of APEC Group.

It opens Friday to welcome travelers in this Vietnamese five-day holiday on April 29 - May 3, 2023.
