Regent Phu Quoc: a place of spellbinding beauty, unexpected culinary experiences and personal havens
With the inauguration of Regent Phu Quoc, IHG Hotels & Resorts introduces its first resort in South East Asia under its upper luxury brand, Regent Hotels & Resorts. The all-suites-and-villas resort offers a tranquil retreat among a scene of heightened luxury off the southwest coast of Vietnam, near a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve. The brand’s famed hospitality, in addition to its remarkable design and cutting-edge technology, ensures a smooth guest experience.
“We are delighted to introduce Regent’s renowned hospitality to Vietnam and look forward to welcoming guests to experience the inimitable island jewel that is Phu Quoc,” said Juan Losada, General Manager. “Regent Phu Quoc will set the benchmark for resort luxury in Vietnam and South East Asia, and deliver a truly captivating interpretation of the Regent experience, marrying the calming, the imaginative with a touch of decadence.
With today’s most seasoned luxury travellers in mind, the Regent brand’s luxury legacy has been reimagined to give the tranquil and extraordinary at every step.
The Regent Experience Agent, which elevates guest relations to new heights with a meticulous curation of guest experiences, and With Compliments, where thoughtful complimentary services such as gourmet beverages and snacks from the Refreshment Gallery, breakfast buffet at Rice Market, pressing, laundry, and unpacking service are included in every stay for a seamless experience, are now available to guests at Regent Phu Quoc.
Personal Havens provide welcoming areas in the great outdoors or in a private nook of the guest room. These places are as many moments in time as they are beautiful physical settings, from the oasis bath experience enhanced by sensory bath menus in every suite and villa to private cabanas programmed with a bespoke dining experience.
The resort was created by BLINK Design Group, a premium hotel design agency, and features traditional Vietnamese vernacular and contemporary furnishings with a relaxing colour palette. Suites and villas are transformed into bright, airy private havens with framed views of beautiful gardens or breathtaking ocean sceneries thanks to expansive windows and verandas that let natural light in.
Spectacular and large-scale installations provide a dimension of originality to the visitor experience at Regent Phu Quoc, heightening the sensation of opulence. Installations like “Charming Deeps,” a bespoke bohemian hand-blown crystal by Lasvit, are designed to work in harmony with the architecture and create an awe-inspiring moment upon entering the resort lobby, stimulating the senses, sparking conversations, and captivating guests’ imagination with artistry.
Guests can expect exceptional epicurean experiences at the six world-class restaurants and bars that make up the Taste Gallery, which provide unique dining and cultural immersion that goes beyond culinary perfection.
Rice Market takes customers on an unexpected culinary journey, encouraging them to sample locally inspired and reinterpreted classic Vietnamese and Chinese cuisines professionally prepared in bustling live kitchens. Ocean Club, Phu Quoc’s only premium beach club, serves a variety of local and Mediterranean food as well as rum-inspired beverages.
After dusk, this Balearic-inspired beachside establishment morphs into a theatre and a seaside restaurant. FuBar is an exclusive sky pool patio and bar with breathtaking ocean views and gin-inspired drinks.
The Spa at Regent Phu Quoc provides a holistic approach to attentive self-care on the wellness front. Its ideology is based on three unique pillars: high touch, high frequency, and high energy. It combines enveloping comforts and new procedures with natural time-honored cures.
Guests can experience acoustic, vibrational, and hot sand treatment, or go on a highly personalised wellness itinerary supervised by the resident Holistic Wellness Coach, all within a full array of immersive facilities.
The Regent Club provides an ideal hideaway for the most discerning visitors, complete with personalised experiences and privileges, as well as access to a majestic yet exclusive venue with a private rooftop infinity pool, all on their terms.
Two new restaurants and bars will open in the coming months: Oku, Phu Quoc’s sole Omakase counter restaurant, and Bar Jade, a speakeasy serving premium artisanal spirits and creative cocktails made with fresh local herbs. The resort’s very own Catamaran, Serenity, will also take guests on a journey of discovery.
