Finding Moments of Zen on Phu Quoc

As the largest island in Vietnam, Phu Quoc is inviting as it is pristine. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island comprises three national parks and a nature reserve. Suffice to say, the location abounds with vibrant marine life, thriving coral reefs and extensive seagrass ecosystems.

A design minimalist’s dream, Sailing Club Signature Resort Phu Quoc features villas that encompass an elegant Scandinavian aesthetic, and is perfect to become your homeaway-from-home. Spacious, and perfect for family holidays (including pets), these five-star accommodations are all about luxury interpreted through a relaxed and informal personality. Within each villa, there is a private pool and garden. Interiors make the most of neutral woods and a palette of beiges that bring about a sense of calm.

At the resort, no guest request is too much. An impromptu dinner barbeque at your villa? No problem. If guests prefer dining at the resort’s all-day dining restaurant Sandals, the Market, a menu that spans modern takes on both Vietnamese and internationally flavoured cuisine is on offer. For those with specific dietary needs, the chefs at Sandals, The Market are skilled at adapting the a la carte menu to a glutenfree, vegetarian or vegan diet.

For families with children, the Kid’s Club is where to head to when looking for ideas to keep the young ones entertained. Activities to encourage learning and creativity are emphasised here, while parents spend their leisure time by the pool or at the Beach Club, touted as the hottest entertainment venue on the island, where the mixologists craft together cocktails to get the party started.

Meanwhile, wellness facilities at the Sailing Club Signature Resort Phu Quoc include a fully equipped gym, while morning yoga classes are also available. The resort’s spa is a peaceful sanctuary that features a spa menu that combines ancient and modern techniques and therapies. Within the space, there are four private treatment rooms; a manicure and pedicure area; a couple’s treatment room; a steam bath; a sauna; and a Zen space to maximise those moments of complete relaxation.
