Perched on the sun-kissed shores of Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s fabled “Pearl Island,” La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc – MGallery offers guests a tranquil and luxurious tropical escape all year round. Originally envisioned as a private holiday home, La Veranda channels the rich family history of owner Madame Catherine and her deep connection with the island. It was here that her grandmother, a local Vietnamese entrepreneur, established a successful fish sauce business. Although the family moved to Phnom Penh, where Madame Catherine was raised amid Cambodia’s blossoming post-independence society, before relocating to France, Phu Quoc’s shores lingered in her memory.

After developing her career and settling in Hong Kong, Madame Catherine was drawn back to these beaches, compelling her to create a sanctuary reminiscent of her childhood dreams. La Veranda was born in 2006 as the first luxury resort on Phu Quoc, and a grand retreat inspired by the historic beach houses that once dotted the coastline. Today, as part of Accor’s MGallery collection of boutique hotels, the resort retains a distinct retro charm. Reminiscent of 1920s Vietnam, it channels the nostalgia and romance of those times through its Indochine architecture.

The 74 rooms, adorned with details handpicked by Madame Catherine herself, echo her early life along the Mekong River. Each accommodation features personal memorabilia, rare collectibles, and four-poster beds for a sense of classic elegance, while terraces or balconies afford sweeping views of tropical gardens or the sea.

At sunset, guests can unwind with organic cocktails and live entertainment at Le Bar, where a terrace beckons with views of the setting sun. Fresh salads made using ingredients sourced from the on-site organic garden further emphasize La Veranda’s commitment to wellness and sustainability.

Deeper relaxation awaits at TĨNH Wellness Sanctuary, an expansive 1,500-square-meter space dedicated to relaxation and healing. Skilled therapists here deliver treatments with artisanal organic oils, and the carefully curated spa menu is complemented by yoga classes and workshops that share the art of ancient healing therapies.

La Veranda’s unwavering dedication to excellence has earned it a growing collection of accolades. This past year alone, it has garnered multiple honors including a top three ranking in the Best Beach & Island Resorts category at Travel + Leisure’s Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2024. At the World Travel Awards, La Veranda was named Asia’s Leading Boutique Resort, while the World Luxury Spa Awards honored TĨNH Wellness Sanctuary as Asia’s Best Luxury Romantic Destination Spa, Best Luxury Boutique Resort Spa, and even Best Luxury Boutique Wellness Spa Worldwide. Similarly, La Veranda’s Peppertree Restaurant claimed the title of Best Luxury Boutique Resort Restaurant in Phu Quoc at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2024, burnishing its reputation as a local hot spot of culinary refinement.
