Vietnam’s first Park Hyatt resort takes bookings from 18 December, with 54 pool villas, a floating seafood restaurant and 1.7 kilometres of beach on Phu Quoc.
Imagine tiled roofs and shaded lanes winding past lotus lakes and rice paddies before running out onto 1.7 kilometres of white sand. That is the picture Hyatt is painting for Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, which opens in December 2026 as the brand’s first resort in Vietnam.
The 65-hectare resort sits on the island’s southwest coast and is laid out like a traditional Vietnamese coastal village: courtyards, gardens and footpaths in place of a single tower. It has been a long time coming, with the resort’s developer, Vietnamese real estate company BIM Group, first announcing the project would open in 2022 but we all know what was happening back then.
Pool Villas & Multigenerational Stays
There will be 114 guestrooms and suites, plus 54 pool villas. The most interesting address is The Manor, an eight-bedroom private residence designed for multigenerational stays, with itineraries tailored to each group. If you’ve ever tried to fit grandparents, parents and children into one holiday, the appeal is obvious.
A Floating Seafood Restaurant & More Besides
Everything orbits The Courtyard, the resort’s village centre, which holds six dining venues, two infinity pools and a sunset bar. Executive Chef Sheldon Fonseca oversees the line-up, which includes Fisherman’s, a restaurant floating above the water where you choose your seafood from a live tank.
Beyond, there’s Herbs & Spice, which serves third-generation Vietnamese family recipes, while Pepper Grill cooks over open fire in a nod to the island’s famous black pepper, and La Maisonette leans French Riviera. You’ll want to leave time for a visit to the Pool House & Bar for sun-kissed alfresco dining, and the Living Room, which is devoted to Vietnamese coffee, cacao and chocolate.
A Rhythm-led Spa
Beside a lotus lake, SOMA Wellbeing is billed as Park Hyatt’s first spa built around circadian rhythms. Mornings are for movement, days for balance and evenings for recovery. In addition, traditional Vietnamese treatments sit alongside infrared masks, biotech loungers and compression therapy.
The resort says it wants islanders to tell its story, so guests will be able to plant with rice farmers, learn open-net fishing, join a sunrise lotus blessing or visit the Whale Temple to hear about Phu Quoc’s sea-honouring traditions. Further afield are pepper farms, fish sauce houses, the trails of Phu Quoc National Park and vibrant coral reefs, while the littlest travellers will have access to a Kids’ Village with cooking classes, dance studios and craft workshops.
The Details
The resort is about 25 minutes from Phu Quoc International Airport, which is served with direct flights from Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, mainland China, South Korea and India.
For a brand better known in Vietnam for its Saigon city hotel (another of our favourites), it’s a quietly bold move, and possibly the most ambitious family-friendly opening in Southeast Asia this winter.
