Vietnam Welcomes International Travellers as Regent Phu Quoc Opens

Regent Phu Quoc, an island jewel in Vietnam, to open to holiday makers in Spring 2022

Regent Hotels & Resorts’ first holiday resort in South East Asia since IHG Hotels & Resorts acquired the brand promises serenity and unexpected harmony with a touch of decadence

IHG Hotels & Resorts will launch the first holiday resort from its recently acquired, leading luxury travel brand, Regent Hotels & Resorts this Spring in South East Asia. Situated off the southwest coast of Vietnam, alongside a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve and located just 15 minutes from Phu Quoc International Airport, Regent Phu Quoc will usher in a new era for this heritage brand, offering holiday guests 176 spectacular suites and 126 spacious villas, set against the serene waterfront backdrop of Long Beach.

Juan Losada, General Manager, Regent Phu Quoc, says: “Founded more than 50 years ago, Regent Hotels & Resorts changed the face of modern luxury with bold firsts, such as pioneering the private villa with pool concept which have since become luxury hotel standards. With the opening of Regent Phu Quoc, a truly visionary resort has been conceived which marries the calming, the imaginative and the extravagant. We look forward to setting new luxury benchmarks through exceptional Vietnamese hospitality and guest experiences which feel simultaneously luxurious and effortless.”

An All Villa and Suite Luxury Travel Resort

Designed by BLINK Design Group who were inspired by the island’s tropical abundance and tranquil surrounding, the villas at Regent Phu Quoc showcase panoramic views of the pearlescent ocean and sky from their private infinity pools. The resort offers multiple accommodation options perfect for both couples and families, from one-bedroom havens to expansive seven-bedroom ultra-villas, including beach pool villas with direct access to the pristine white beach, sky pool villas situated high in the Sky Wing with breathtaking ocean views and lagoon pool villas which overlook the striking vista of the resort’s lagoons.

Vietnamese Heritage Meets Minimalist Modernity

Regent brand’s luxury legacy has been transformed with today’s most seasoned travellers in mind; the resort’s architecture echoes and reflects the traditional Vietnamese vernacular, while its design maximises access to the environment with floor-to-ceiling glass windows framing enchanting ocean views, and inside spaces featuring decadent touches that hint at tropical surroundings. Guests will be greeted by a modern interpretation of Vietnamese roofs, and a variation of the local traditional wooden truss structural system, known as the Bovi, has been developed into subtle patterns found on screens, carpets and accessories. Another local style, known as Gian Nha, comprising small courtyards within a traditional Vietnamese house, is the inspiration for the layouts in the villa designs. The boundaries of indoor and outdoor areas blur through intelligent zoning across the resort as a homage to Gian Nha, providing privacy within a luxurious setting in this evolution of a traditional way of living.

A Multi-Sensorial Culinary Experience

From day to night, six curated venues at Regent Phu Quoc offer multi-sensorial experiences, celebrating the world of gastronomy. Among the six world-class restaurant and bar creations are Oku, an enchanting Franco-Japanese Salon de Boeuf serving the finest beef cuts and sushi at the Omakase counter; Rice Market, an all-day dining restaurant that takes diners on a culinary journey through Southern Vietnam and north towards the border of China; Ocean Club, a Mediterranean-inspired beachfront venue that features cocktails and a live in-house DJ; Lobby Lounge, a relaxing parlour offering all-day food and drink that transform together with the time of the day; Bar Jade, a speakeasy for fine artisanal spirits and custom cocktails mixed with fresh local herbs; and Fu Bar, an exclusive sky pool terrace & bar specialising in gin-focused cocktails and inspired local bites.
