A 1.7-kilometre white-sand beach, lotus lakes and rice paddies form the setting for Park Hyatt Phu Quoc. The hotel group says the 65-hectare resort on the island’s southwest coast is expected to open in December 2026, with reservations available for arrivals from 18 December.
A floating seafood restaurant and a spa organised around the changing rhythm of the day give the opening particular appeal. So does the choice of accommodation: couples can book a beachfront room or private pool villa, while larger families will have villas with several bedrooms and an eight-bedroom residence with its own pools, cinema and spa.
Courtyards, gardens and private pools
Traditional Vietnamese coastal villages have influenced the layout, with courtyards, shaded pathways and gardens leading towards the sea. The design draws on places where generations live, cook and gather together, combining shared spaces with private accommodation spread across beachfront, garden, lakeside and hillside settings.
The resort will have 114 guestrooms and suites alongside 54 pool villas. Park Hyatt’s room and villa options include 80-square-metre garden-view king and twin rooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a lounge area, a separate shower and a deep soaking bathtub. Beachfront rooms of the same size add ocean views and a private balcony.
The beachfront king room with a shared pool offers 150 square metres, a private terrace and its own entry to the shared hanging pool. For a completely private pool, the garden-view one-bedroom villas provide 280 square metres of indoor and outdoor space, with Vietnamese motifs and Hoang Tho ceramics among the interior details.
Lake and beachfront settings are available in the one-bedroom deluxe category, while premier villas look across the lake, rice terraces and lotus flowers. Families wanting direct access to the sand can consider a two-bedroom beachfront pool villa, with private pools and separate accommodation for a housekeeper or nanny. Three- and four-bedroom choices extend across the hillside, lakeside and beachfront.
The Manor for a gathering of generations
The eight-bedroom Manor occupies a 16,000-square-metre estate on an elevated site overlooking the resort and ocean. Originally conceived as a private family residence, it has the facilities for an extended group to spend much of its holiday within the grounds.
The residence features two private swimming pools, entertainment spaces, a grand dining room and a cinema, together with a private spa and fitness area. The eight guest bedrooms contain four king beds and eight twin beds, with two further bedrooms for private housekeepers or nannies. Dedicated butler service and in-residence dining are listed, alongside available private-chef and mixologist experiences.
Stays require at least three nights. Meals can be arranged by the pool, on the terrace, in the dining room or by the sea, giving family celebrations several settings without leaving the estate.
Travellers comparing large private residences in Vietnam can also consider InterContinental Halong Bay’s six-bedroom estate, which opened in June 2026 with a private pool, spa, cinema and butler service.
Seafood above the waves
The Courtyard will be the resort’s social centre, bringing together six dining venues, two ocean-facing infinity pools and a sunset bar. Executive Chef Sheldon Fonseca will lead the culinary programme, with Vietnamese family cooking, local pepper and seafood central to several of the restaurants.
Fisherman’s will float above the waves, with guests choosing seafood from a live tank. The resort’s dining programme describes simple preparations that emphasise freshness and seasonality. Herbs & Spice will face the gardens and serve Vietnamese comfort dishes from breakfast through dinner, drawing on third-generation family recipes, herbs and coastal ingredients.
At Pepper Grill, an open fire will be used to cook seasonal vegetables, Phu Quoc’s pepper varieties, dayboat seafood and premium cuts. La Maisonette pairs seasonal produce and tableside service with European cooking techniques in a French Riviera style.
Pool House & Bar will offer Italian-inspired dishes and Asian touches, with handmade sourdough pizzas, desserts and sunset drinks also on offer. The Living Room will serve Vietnamese coffee and cacao, chocolate, pastries made in-house and light dishes during the day, before turning to champagne, spirits and cocktails in the evening.
In-villa dining will also be available, with Vietnamese dishes, international classics and lighter meals served beside the pool, on a terrace or in a villa dining room.
A lakeside spa shaped around the day
SOMA Wellbeing will sit beside a lotus lake, with a programme influenced by circadian rhythms and natural cycles. Experiences will change through the day, inviting guests to move in the morning, find balance during daytime hours and restore in the evening.
Traditional Vietnamese treatments will sit alongside modern recovery tools, including infrared masks, biotech loungers and compression therapy. For travellers planning a wellness-focused stay, the daily timetable will be part of the experience, with different activities suited to morning, afternoon and evening.
The lakeside location also places the spa within the landscape that informs the wider resort: water, gardens and rice-growing areas feature throughout the village-inspired grounds.
Rice paddies, fishing traditions and island trails
Farmers, fishermen and artisans will shape the resort’s cultural experiences. Guests will be able to join rice farmers in the paddies, learn open-net fishing techniques, begin the day with a sunrise lotus blessing or visit the Whale Temple to learn about the island’s sea-honouring traditions. Personalised itineraries will be tailored to guests’ preferences.
Phu Quoc’s pepper farms and traditional fish-sauce houses offer further ways to explore the island through its food. Trails in Phu Quoc National Park and coral reefs rich in marine life provide options for time in nature. The island lies on the eastern edge of the Gulf of Thailand, off Vietnam’s southwest coast.
Younger guests will have a Kids’ Village designed as a miniature village, with culinary classes, dance studios and craft workshops. Those activities extend the resort’s emphasis on cooking and making to children, alongside the accommodation choices intended for families travelling with several generations.
Booking a festive-season stay
December falls within Phu Quoc’s November-to-April dry season. The resort is approximately 25 minutes from Phu Quoc International Airport, and the island has direct international flights from destinations including Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong.
Reservations are available for arrivals beginning 18 December 2026. A New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner is included for all in-house adult guests staying on 31 December, with separate charges applying for children.
