HCM CITY —  IHG Hotels & Resorts debuts its first resort under its upper luxury brand, Regent Hotels & Resorts, in South East Asia with the opening of Regent Phu Quoc, its first resort in Việt Nam, on April 19.

Located off the southwest coast of Việt Nam alongside a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve, the all-suites-and-villas resort is a stone’s throw from the water’s edge along Long Beach. Exceptional design and state-of-the-art technology will be delivered alongside the brand’s legendary hospitality for a seamless guest journey. 

“We are delighted to introduce Regent’s renowned hospitality to Việt Nam and look forward to welcoming guests to experience the inimitable island jewel that is Phu Quoc," said Juan Losada, general manager of Regent Phu Quoc.

Regent Phu Quoc will surely be a brand-defining resort in Việt Nam and South East Asia that will deliver a genuinely captivating interpretation of the Regent experience, marrying the calming, the imaginative and the extravagant.”

Hidden beneath the shade of swaying palm trees, Regent Phu Quoc features 176 suites and 126 villas that echo traditional Vietnamese vernacular and contemporarily designed interiors with a soothing colour palette.

At Regent Phu Quoc, guests can expect to experience the brand’s distinctive new hallmarks, from Personal Havens, such as a signature bath ritual within the villa, to compliments that provide daily beverages and gourmet snacks from the Refreshment Gallery, along with a complimentary daily breakfast buffet at the Rice Market, pressing and laundry as well as an unpacking service.

Rice Market offers locally-inspired and reinvented classic dishes of Vietnamese Chinese cuisine expertly crafted in bustling live kitchens. The only luxury beach club in Phu Quoc, Ocean Club, features local and Mediterranean cuisine, cocktails, a sophisticated wine selection, and a live in-house DJ.
