The first thing you might notice on arriving at Pullman Phu Quoc Beach Resort is the genuine warmth of the people who make each stay here a memorable one. You’ll be greeted by ready smiles and a refreshing welcome drink made from island-grown sim (rose myrtle) fruit, signaling exactly where you are — a tropical playground on the sun-kissed shores of Vietnam’s largest island, Phu Quoc.
While checking in, take a moment to look around and admire the bold, contemporary style of your surroundings. Let your eyes fall upon the wooden spiral staircase in the lobby and the double-height Lighthouse Bar, the centerpiece of a social space dubbed The Junction. Pullman’s flagship resort in Vietnam translates the brand’s playful and fun-loving personality into a whimsical design by Spanish architect Salvador Pérez Arroyo, who took his cues from the fishing villages of Phu Quoc. Seen from above, the arrangement of the resort loosely resembles a fish swimming toward the Gulf of Thailand. Lying at the heart of the Pullman Phu Quoc is an impressive infinity-edge lagoon pool, fringed by umbrella-shaded sunbeds and featuring a shallow section for children to safely frolic in. There’s also a kids’ water play area off to one side; grownups seeking more low-key relaxation can wander the sculpture gardens and pathways for private walks or quiet contemplation.

On the lush grounds, you’ll find 331 thoughtfully furnished rooms, suites, and Cabanas, as well as a beachfront pool villa. Set apart from the main building are a series of pavilions housing the family-oriented Cabana rooms, dispersed among beautifully manicured lawns studded with soaring palm trees. Here, natural light floods into the bedrooms through floor-to-ceiling folding glass doors. Imagine a spacious hideout with a plush king-size bed to sink into, the perfect place for a good night’s rest. Reliable high-speed internet keeps you plugged in to the wider world, and, when you want to unplug, you’ll have direct access to a semi-private pool that meanders around the Cabanas like a lazy river. Ground-floor Cabanas boast an inviting poolside terrace; those on the first-floor come with a spacious balcony that affords a soothing vista of tropical greenery, plus a pool-front deck accessible via a staircase. Well-equipped Cabana bathrooms feature a Jacuzzi tub, a rain shower, double vanities, and a Japanese washlet toilet.

Come mealtime, the Pullman’s F&amp;B outlets are sure to please. You’ll want to spend a few hours at Mad Cow Wine &amp; Grill — the only rooftop steakhouse in Phu Quoc — for the panoramic views from its laid-back dining room and the culinary delights on offer. It’s just the place to toast the end of a fulfilling day and the beginning of a relaxing night. Choose a glass of fine red or white from the extensive wine list, or sip on a summery cocktail as you marvel at a fiery sunset over the Gulf of Thailand. Then settle down for a satisfying dinner with your loved ones, revolving around succulent steaks prepared on a wood-fired grill using high-quality meat. If you’re not quite in the mood for a juicy striploin, Mad Cow’s menu has an enticing array of generously portioned dishes, be it slow-cooked ocean trout or surf and turf.

Another draw at Pullman Phu Quoc? The diverse pursuits that will keep even the most active traveler happy and entertained. An ever-changing roster of classes posted on the activities board in the lobby will clue you in on daily happenings. The Pullman brand knows the importance of wellbeing, so Tibetan breathing exercises and yoga sessions — held in the morning on the grass and at sunset on the rooftop — are in the cards, not to mention bicycle rides through the lush gardens. Junior guests can look forward to hands-on crafts and games at the Kids Club, which doubles as a base for fun-filled outings; activities made with teens specifically in mind (sans parents) will excite guests of that age group.
You can also play ball on the tennis courts, jog the pathways crisscrossing the grounds, or join the football and volleyball matches regularly held on the resort’s private stretch of powdery white sand. Weekly bike tours in the morning and at sunset will take you on a four-kilometer journey: pedal along the foreshore and through a nearby fishing village to witness authentic glimpses of local life. The Pullman also offers complimentary equipment rental for selected water sports, so head out into the water in a kayak or on a paddleboard as the late afternoon sun casts its warm glow on this captivating island. Breathe in the salty sea air and let your mind run free at Pullman Phu Quoc, a beachfront hideaway made for travelers of all ages.
