On idyllic Phú Quốc Island, JW Marriott Phú Quốc Emerald Bay was designed by architect Bill Bensley and features a unique, larger-than-life design based on a mythical academy of learning.

The resort’s flagship spa, Chanterelle – Spa by JW offers a journey that references Alice in Wonderland to create an unparalleled experience in an imaginative space. The interiors play on the theme of mushrooms, which have long been recognised for their therapeutic qualities by the French. The spa has mushroom-shaped furnishings, hand-painted walls of flora and fauna and biological illustrations of mushrooms displayed across the tall ceilings.

Bensley also draws from the childhood fable to incorporate a corridor where curves and mirrors create an effect that echoes the scene where Alice falls down the rabbit hole.

As a leading spa, Chanterelle – Spa by JW presents an exclusive range of holistic therapies. The treatments are personalised down to the smallest detail, allowing guests to craft their own journey.
