PHU QUOC, Vietnam
The JW Marriott Phu Quoc, Emerald Bay opened on Vietnam’s largest island, off its southern coast. Designed by award-winning interior designer Bill Bensley, the hotel offers 244 guest rooms and suites.
“The opening of JW Marriott Phu Quoc, Emerald Bay celebrates the arrival of the first international luxury hotel to this picturesque island paradise,” said Mitzi Gaskins, global brand leader, JW Marriott & The Luxury Collection. “This stunning destination offers guests a variety of experiences, from white-sandy beaches to dense tropical jungle, and now with the addition of the JW Marriott brand, travelers will really have it all.”
The resort has five distinct restaurants and bars, including Tempus Fugit (which translates to ‘time flies’) featuring authentic Vietnamese cuisine, contemporary Japanese fare and classic French delights; French & Co offering pastries and desserts; and Department of Chemistry, serving local elixirs with views of Emerald Bay.
Located within the resort is Rue de Lamarck, which features artisanal boutiques and cafés for guests and locals to enjoy. Daily activities ranging from Vietnamese martial arts and lantern making, to cooking classes and wellness activities such as boot camp, yoga and island excursions, are also available, or for a less strenuous option, the resort’s private beach and three outdoor pools provide the perfect place to relax.
The hotel also boasts a Spa by JW, the new concept created by the brand. Each of the spa’s eight treatment rooms are equipped with a private rainforest shower, steam room, sauna, and treatment area. The property has nearly 12,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting and event, including a 7,700-square-foot Grand Ballroom.
