Part of the prestigious IHG resort chain in Vietnam, with locations in renowned tourist destinations like Danang, Hanoi, and Nha Trang, InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort is a 5-star resort that blends modern architectural beauty with the irresistible allure of the stunning paradise island.

Impressive Resort Welcoming Experience: Upon stepping into the reception hall adorned with traditional fishing boats hanging from the ceiling, guests are immediately captivated. According to the receptionist, these boats are integral to the island's fishermen's lives, and the hotel aims to honor and promote this unique cultural heritage. Moreover, I was fascinated by the eye-catching wave-like sand wall, entirely made from Phu Quoc's natural sand. This exquisite combination maintains elegance and sophistication while creating an outstanding focal point whenever InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach is mentioned.

Indulge in the Infinity Oasis & Vista Swimming Pools

Both pools boast vast expanses, designed in various shapes at the heart of the resort, extending to the fine white sand beach. Surrounding the pools are unique relaxation pods - perfect Instagram backgrounds reminiscent of the Wild West.

Additionally, the hotel features two separate pool areas: the family-friendly SPLASH! pool and a pool reserved for Club InterContinental guests.

Absolute Relaxation at HARNN Heritage Spa

The most rustic yet impressive feature of InterContinental Phu Quoc is the charming small bamboo huts nestled by the serene lotus pond. This design creates a gentle, peaceful atmosphere for relaxation along with traditional therapies derived from nature and Asian folk remedies. My favorite experience was the herbal treatments combined with coconut, natural pearls, and various distinctive Phu Quoc spices, providing a noticeable rejuvenation for the body, a serene soul, and absolute energy balance.

Unleash the Fun at Planet Trekkers

This expansive 250m2 children's play area offers exciting entertainment activities such as slides, swings, swimming, coloring, and painting under the guidance and care of a professional team. Not only children but parents can also participate in various educational and intellectually stimulating games with their children.

Cooking Classes at KCC School

If there's an award for the resort that cares most about and serves children the best, surely none surpasses InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach. Even as an adult, I can't help but envy the little ones for having their own Kids Can Cook (KCC) cooking school. They not only get to see various seafood and baking ingredients up close but also practice turning them into favorite dishes, becoming little chefs in the making.

I can't swim myself, but they all looked so enticing.

Tourist Attractions around InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort

After studying and working in the city all year round, this trip was mainly about exploring and experiencing Phu Quoc's traditional trades. We wanted our children to have more exposure to local life, away from everyday modern gadgets and technology. We visited a Phu Quoc fish sauce production facility, witnessing every step from salting the fish to storing them in giant tanks, and listening to the artisans share their experiences, realizing the intricacy and meticulousness involved in making pure fish sauce.

Our family rented a 4-bedroom villa by the sea, over 1000m2, which is the most luxurious room category, with 2 swimming pools and a separate sunbathing balcony, with a butler available 24/7 in the room.
