The year-end holiday season is fast approaching, and on the tropical island of Phu Quoc, Vietnam, travelers checking in to one of its top five-star resorts can look forward to an exciting lineup of special events. Through the Festive Magic in the Air program and its signature heartfelt service, InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort promises a joyful celebration to mark this special time spent with loved ones.

The resort will put on a variety of engaging activities for all ages, including fire dances, the cultural Sunset Ritual Ceremony featuring a drum dance, and daily surprises from an advent calendar. Kids will also be thrilled by Santa’s arrival and a Christmas ornament hunt, creating joyful memories with their parents.

But the highlight of the season is arguably the New Year’s Eve Gala and Countdown Party, when you can take part in a beachfront gala dinner before ringing in 2025 under the night sky at Phu Quoc’s highest rooftop bar — INK 360.

Christmas staples like roast turkey will be served at the on-site restaurants during the festive season.
