Nestled on the island of Phu Quoc in Vietnam, the Regent Phu Quoc embodies the quintessence of refinement, where every detail has been thought out to meet the expectations of the most demanding travelers. Pascal Languillon, CEO of Luxe Wellness Club, had the privilege of staying at this exceptional new establishment, and here we give you a detailed insight into this memorable experience. Spoiler: the spa is magnificent!
An arrival like a prelude to perfection
As soon as we arrived at the airport, we were greeted by a private transfer service that reflected what we were about to discover at the Regent Phu Quoc: a subtle blend of discretion and refinement. As we drove along the island’s coastline, the hotel’s majestic silhouette gradually took shape, lined with palm trees and overlooking crystal-clear waters.
As soon as you step through the doors, a feeling of serenity envelops you, with architecture that harmoniously blends modernity with traditional Vietnamese inspiration. The promise of an exclusive escape begins at that very first moment.
Accommodation to meet all expectations
The Regent Phu Quoc offers a wide range of suites and villas, each offering generous living space, meticulous decoration and ultra-modern amenities. I had the pleasure of staying in a Pool Suite overlooking the ocean, a true jewel of luxury.
Large picture windows let in sublime natural light, creating a constant dialogue between inside and outside. The private swimming pool, framed by lush vegetation, invites you to relax in complete privacy, while the unrivalled quality of the bedding guarantees nights of deep rest.
The element that impressed me most was undoubtedly the bathroom, where the deep bathtub seems to be suspended above the marine horizon. It’s a moment of absolute well-being, enhanced by the top-of-the-range skincare products on offer. Every morning, I was awakened by the soothing murmur of the waves and the softness of the rising sun over the ocean.
A cuisine that celebrates local flavours
The Regent Phu Quoc offers a culinary experience that goes far beyond the usual standards of luxury hotels. With a varied selection of restaurants, every meal is a true sensory discovery. I particularly enjoyed the Rice Market restaurant, where traditional Vietnamese cuisine is sublimated by contemporary techniques. The freshness of local produce, especially seafood, is reflected in every plate, prepared with remarkable precision and creativity.
Another favorite was the Ocean Club restaurant, where we enjoyed handcrafted cocktails against a spectacular sunset. The menu, oscillating between local specialties and Mediterranean influences, offered us balanced, bold flavors. TheAqua Bar, meanwhile, is the perfect stop-off for detox juices or a refreshing glass of champagne after a day under the tropical sun.
A spa dedicated to holistic well-being
During my stay, I naturally tested the Regent Phu Quoc spa, a veritable temple of well-being. The treatment program is rooted in a holistic approach, combining oriental techniques with contemporary methods. I opted for a signature massage using local essential oils, a pure moment of relaxation that released all my tensions.
The spa also offers yoga, meditation and herbal steam baths, for a complete experience of reconnecting with oneself. Also of note is the area dedicated to beauty treatments, where every detail – from the products used to the therapists’ gestures – is part of a quest for perfection.
Activities for total immersion
The island of Phu Quoc is full of wonders to discover, and the hotel offers a wide range of activities to satisfy both adventure-seekers and the more contemplative. We embarked on a private boat trip to discover the surrounding islands, and dived into the turquoise waters to explore the coral reefs. A timeless experience, made possible by the impeccable organization of the Regent team.
For travelers in search of serenity, the hotel also offers Vietnamese cooking classes, hikes in the surrounding tropical forests, and moments of relaxation on the private beach, a true haven of peace away from the world.
A commendable commitment to eco-responsibility
What also sets the Regent Phu Quoc apart is its commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation. The hotel has implemented a series of initiatives to reduce its ecological footprint, including limiting the use of plastic, promoting sustainable agricultural practices for the sourcing of its restaurants, and supporting programs to protect the coral reefs around the island.
This ecological awareness in no way sacrifices the guest experience – quite the contrary. It reinforces the sense of harmony with nature that permeates the entire stay. Every gesture is designed to minimize the impact on the environment, without compromising the luxury and comfort you’d expect from an establishment of this stature.
