C

LivingTraditional Oriental simplicity and refinement are the inspiration for the design and furnishings of the resort. There are 12 Beachfront Villas and 12 Seaview Villas, each of which can comfortably accommodate up to two adults and two children, and feature a furnished private sun terrace overlooking the sea, luxurious bathroom with bathtub and shower, flat-screen TV with international channels, and high-speed internet access. Uniquely, the six Jacuzzi Villas and six Pool Villas are traditional timber houses that were originally located in the Vietnamese port city of Hoi An, and which have been transported and rebuilt here as luxury holiday accommodation. The Jacuzzi Villas have a large living area suitable for a family, can accommodate up to two adults and two children and each has its own private Jacuzzi with an outdoor lounge area. The Pool

DiningIl Ristorante is set directly on the beachfront and serves Mediterranean and local cuisines along with an international selection. Phu Quoc's rich fishing heritage is reflected in the seafood dishes on offer. Ghe Lounge & Bar overlooks the ocean and offers a wide range of cocktails, drinks, snacks and light refreshments that can be enjoyed at sunset or any other time of the day. You may however prefer to enjoy a meal served in the comfort of your villa or by the side of your own pool; anything from a movie snack to a more elaborate dining experience, whatever the occasion calls for.

Villas are even larger, can accommodate up to four adults, come with two separate bathrooms and offer a furnished private sun terrace with an outdoor private pool overlooking the sea.

SightseeingPhu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island, and is known for its deserted beaches and wild interior. A mountainous ridge named 99 Peaks runs the length of the island. Trekkers and mountain bikers can follow established trails, while visitors interested in nature will be able to join small organised trips. The resort is situated very near to Duong Dong Town, the administrative centre of the island, which has a picturesque harbour crowded with fishing boats. Nearby is Long Beach, the island's main beach and leisure resort, and a little further on the coast road is a pearl farm that welcomes visitors. The An Thoi Islands, at the southern tip of the island, are ideal for scenic island hopping, and the ferry for Rach Gia on the mainland leaves from here. Several flights per day leave Phu Quoc Airport for Ho Chi Minh City, the journey time taking 50 minutes.

ChillingOther than just relaxing on the fine sand beach, the resort offers a selection of watersports and other leisure activities. There is an ocean-facing infinity swimming pool, and a dive and watersports centre that will arrange sailing, snorkeling, dive trips, windsurfing, kayaking, beach volleyball, and boat trips. The resort also has its own 24-ft leisure boat for exploring the coastline.
