Regent Phu Quoc

Step into Regent Phu Quoc and you’re transported into a modern, tranquil haven. In the lobby, smooth black stone covers the floor and columns, a black-and-white marble table holds fuchsia orchids and hydrangeas and pink roselilies, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlook a pond with greenery. But as you wander deeper into the property, past ponds teeming with koi and through the verdant grounds with palms and hibiscus flowers, the more Regent unveils itself.Almost every path frames a view, like the series of thresholds that lead your gaze to art like Charming Deeps, bright hand-blown crystal pieces by Lasvi that resemble coral on a black wall, or oversized letters spelling “Regent” planted in the sand with the ocean as the backdrop. Though see the most stunning vista from all-day restaurant Rice Market, where a pool under dramatic canopies trails off to the Gulf of Thailand.But this getaway isn’t simply eye candy. The lavish accommodations at the all-suite-and-villa hotel come with their own pool. You’ll be showered with complimentary extras, including daily pressing or laundry (up to three pieces), shoeshines, mini-bar drinks and snacks and even cabanas. Six restaurants and bars include Rice Market, with its impressive multi-room breakfast buffet that offers everything from a pho bar to croissants in unusual flavors like mojito; Jade Bar, a sexy speakeasy that resembles a luxury train car; and the rooftop Fu Bar with its infinity pool. As if this tropical paradise weren’t enough to help you unwind, the spa cinches it with innovative treatments in sumptuous treatment suites.
