Mere steps from the shore, the sherbet-yellow abode looks like a slice out of time - the 1920s to be exact. Refined French overtones mingle with mellow island charm, and breezy verandas provide pretty views across the Gulf of Thailand. Beach attendants rake powder-fine sand to perfection where drinks are served on canopied day beds. And it wouldn't be true R&R without a sea salt scrub at the incense-infused spa. Away from any mention of a crowd, Phu Quoc island has stellar hiking, diving and sunning spots to enjoy - and watching the sunset over a beach BBQ is a winning end to the day.

La Veranda has a collection of rooms in the main house and villas down by the beach. The design is suitably 'French' with grand four-poster beds, dark wood furnishings and framed nautical prints. The uncluttered rooms are finished with cool tiled floors and ever-spinning ceiling fans - plus TV, mini bar and coffee/tea facilities. The bathrooms are simple but chic with a marble tub and rain shower. Shuttered doors open onto a patio or terrace with comfortable seats (or loungers!), and some villas have a dining area.
La Veranda combines elegant style and silver-tray service with the ease of a beachside resort.
The pool is on the small side so it's best to grab a lounger early.
The standard rooms are further away from the beach than the villas, so it's a little more of a walk.
