KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 20 -- OKEx, a world-leading cryptocurrency spot and derivatives exchange, is pleased to announce that withdrawal services of all digital assets will be resumed on or before Nov 27.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 -- New World Hotels & Resorts has been appointed by Sun Group to manage New World Phu Quoc Resort (formerly Sun Premier Village Kem Beach Resort), on Vietnam’s southern Phu Quoc island, with first guests anticipated in 2021.
The agreement heralds not only the 11th property and second resort to join New World Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio across Asia in city and resort destinations, but the third in Vietnam including New World Saigon Hotel and New World Hoiana Hotel, opening soon.
The all-villa resort is situated on the southwestern tip of Phu Quoc, on nearly 60 hectares of tropical landscape facing acclaimed Kem Beach – a 3.5km crescent-shaped swathe of idyllic shoreline facing the Gulf of Thailand.
Akin to a luxury beach village, the resort is a fitting home base to explore the natural wonders of Phu Quoc – the largest of Vietnam’s islands, it is densely forested, bisected by the ‘99 Peak’ mountain range and encircled by some of the world’s finest beaches.
According to a statement, more than half the island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and much of its surrounding waters, a marine preservation area.
Guests can select from 375 villas in seven configurations starting from 124 square metres in size to the grand 414-square metre Sun Beach Front Villa, with every thatched-roof villa with a private swimming pool.
The resort’s private stretch of Kem Beach is a magnet for water sports, beach lounging and magnificent sunsets, but the meandering pathways through the resort’s landscaped gardens also lead guests to a myriad of additional recreational options, including an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and studio, as well as a 16-treatment-room spa.
In ambience, setting and style, New World Phu Quoc Resort luxuriously reflects all the charm of the verdant Vietnamese island that is proving an increasingly irresistible lure to visitors from worldwide.
