Best hotels in Phu Quoc

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.

Park Hyatt Phu Quoc sits at the island’s southwest tip, about 30 minutes from the airport, along 1.7km of golden sand. Traditional Vietnamese architecture is woven into the landscape, with hills and a meandering stream close by, whilst contemporary art and traditional craftsmanship share the interiors. On site, you’ll find dining, a pool, a spa and a gym, and it’s set up for families of all ages. Expect long, slow beach days and not much reason to leave.
