STAY, LINGER, SAVOUR

While Vietnam’s Pearl Island has much to offer, one would be hard-pressed to step out of Regent Phu Quoc after checking in, says Mavis Teo.

Since its recent opening on the dreamy island of Phu Quoc off Vietnam's southwestern coast, the 302-key luxury beachfront resort of Regent Phu Quoc has raised the bar for both new projects sprouting within the brand and also on the island. With the Regent rebranding comes extra emphasis on curated experiences and extravagant design that elevate the well-heeled traveller’s stay. Featuring six restaurants and bars, swimming pools, the first resort-owned catamaran in Phu Quoc, and a host of wellness and recreational programmes, the Regent is now the standard-bearer of hospitality’s finest on Vietnam’s largest island. We won’t be surprised if you find it hard to step out of the resort.

NOURISH THY BODY

With six wining and dining destinations under one roof, Regent Phu Quoc’s guests are spoilt for choice. It is recommended that you start at the Rice Kitchen, the resort’s all-day dining restaurant with a variety of cuisines to accommodate different palates. Whether it is a delectable avocado toast you need to put a spring into your step, or a comforting porridge you crave upon waking, Rice Kitchen has them all. The menu becomes more heartwarmingly Asian after breakfast.
