Embrace A Slower Pace

Regent Phu Quoc, recognised by the Michelin Guide 2025 Key List as one of Vietnam’s finest hotels, introduces its Season of Renewal, a thoughtfully curated celebration of island living shaped by intention, connection, and the gentle rhythm of the sea. From now until June, the resort invites guests to embrace a slower pace, where each experience is designed to linger and every moment unfolds with quiet elegance against the backdrop of Phu Quoc’s pristine coastline.

Throughout the season, the resort reveals a series of elevated experiences centred around its expansive collection of suites and villas. These range from beachfront sanctuaries opening directly onto powder-soft sand to the signature Sky Pool Villas, where private infinity pools appear to merge seamlessly with the horizon. Days begin with unhurried breakfasts on private terraces and transition effortlessly into refined evenings shaped by curated dining and bespoke service. Signature stays, including the Dinner, Bed & Breakfast experience and Regent Club privileges, further enhance the sense of exclusivity, offering tailored moments and discreet luxury throughout each guest’s stay.

Dining takes centre stage during this season, with a culinary programme that celebrates both regional ingredients and international collaboration. At Oku, refined Japanese-French omakase is presented alongside a series of guest chef residencies. One-Michelin-starred chef Andrea Marinelli of Ristorante Olio Milano brings contemporary Italian cuisine to the island across a series of exclusive dinners, while the team from Michelin Green Starred Jaras introduces a thoughtful exploration of Thai and Vietnamese flavours rooted in sustainability and seasonality. Across the resort, culinary experiences continue to unfold, from beachfront barbecues accompanied by live music at Aqua Bar & Lounge to Mediterranean-inspired dining at Ocean Club overlooking Long Beach.

Evenings at Regent Phu Quoc carry their own sense of ritual and refinement. At Bar Jade, a cocktail salon inspired by the golden age of luxury rail travel, guests can settle into an atmosphere of understated glamour, while Fu Bar offers an elevated, adults-only setting with sweeping rooftop views. Signature weekly experiences add further depth to the culinary journey, from Rosé by the Ocean, where golden hour is marked with champagne and oysters, to The Essence of Vietnam, a celebration of the country’s regional cuisines. Ocean’s Royal Feast, held beneath the stars, offers a lavish showcase of the island’s finest seafood, bringing together flavour, setting, and occasion in equal measure.

Well-being is seamlessly woven into the fabric of the Season of Renewal, with experiences designed to restore balance across body and mind. A highlight of the programme is the exclusive residency of renowned “Foot Virtuoso” Bastien Gonzalez, who brings his signature treatments to The Spa for a limited time. Alongside this, daily rituals such as sunrise yoga at the Sky Yoga Pavilion, meditation sessions using crystal quartz bowls and personalised guidance from the resort’s holistic wellness coach provide opportunities for deeper reflection and renewal. The spa’s treatments draw on local traditions and modern techniques, creating a holistic approach that is both restorative and immersive.

Beyond wellness and dining, Regent Phu Quoc offers a quiet engagement with art and culture. The Ethereal Dialogue: Trúc Chỉ Art Exhibition invites guests into a contemplative space where traditional Vietnamese paper is transformed into a medium of light, texture and expression. Set within The Gallery, the exhibition encourages moments of stillness and reflection, revealing the beauty of craftsmanship through an evolving interplay of material and perception.

The island itself becomes an integral part of the experience, with curated activities designed to reveal Phu Quoc’s natural beauty and cultural depth. Guests can explore hidden coves and coastal landscapes, engage with local traditions or venture along jungle trails that offer a different perspective of the island. At sea, the resort’s luxury catamaran, Serenity, provides a refined way to discover the surrounding waters, from morning cruises along the coastline to champagne sunset voyages that capture the island at its most atmospheric.

This Season of Renewal, Regent Phu Quoc offers more than a refined escape; it presents a carefully considered journey where luxury is balanced by authenticity and where each experience is shaped by a sense of place. Set against turquoise waters and unspoilt shores, it is an invitation to pause, reconnect and rediscover the quiet beauty of island life at its most compelling.
