Sunset Town Clock Tower: An Iconic Architectural Landmark in Phu Quoc

The Sunset Town Clock Tower is an important feature of the Phu Quoc Sunset Town project developed by Sun Group during 2019–2020. Since the pedestrian zone officially opened, the tower quickly became an iconic symbol of the entire area, helping Sunset Town be honored on the list of prominent destinations on the global tourism map in 2025.

Regarding design, the structure is inspired by St. Mark's Campanile (Campanile di San Marco) in St. Mark's Square, Venice – an iconic European architectural symbol dating back to the 16th century. However, the architectural team adapted it to fit the local context, incorporating tropical climate elements such as sloped drainage roofs, signature coastal bright color palettes, and an integrated lighthouse function facing the ocean. As a result, the building retains its classic architectural spirit while harmonizing with the natural landscape of Phu Quoc. A prominent feature is the large four-faced clock system, manufactured by Electric Time Company, ensuring high precision and creating a distinct hallmark for the entire space.

Standing at a height of 75m, the Clock Tower is currently the tallest clock tower structure in Vietnam. The tower body is constructed with characteristic red bricks, topped with a jade green spire that creates a harmonious contrast with the blue sea and pastel-colored houses along the hillside.

Highlight features:

• 4 large clock faces with artistic night illumination (changing between gold, blue, and magical purple).
• LED light system changing by the hour: classic during the day, warm at sunset, and magical at night.
• Integrated lighthouse – simulating a guide for visitors and the Hon Thom Cable Car gently gliding above.

Right at the foot of the tower lies Central Village, featuring an endless infinity pool, the 5-star La Festa Phu Quoc hotel (Curio Collection by Hilton), granite-paved squares, fountains, and lush green landscapes. The entire area exudes an authentic Mediterranean style, as if stepping onto Italy's Amalfi Coast in the heart of Pearl Island.

The Sunset Town Clock Tower is located in the Central Village area of Phu Quoc Sunset Town, Kem Beach area, An Thoi ward, Phu Quoc city. From downtown Duong Dong, the distance is about 25–30 km south, taking approximately 35–40 minutes depending on the mode of transport.
