11 Best Hotels in Phu Quoc Island, Mekong Delta

Reminiscent of a colonial seaside mansion, with its swaying palms and namesake wide verandas that catch the balmy sea breezes, this well-established resort is an immaculately maintained haven in the heart of Long Beach. Rooms have shutters, high ceilings, wicker armchairs, and four-poster beds with mosquito nets. The biggest dilemma you'll encounter at this MGallery resort, part of the Accor chain, is whether to relax in your room, on your balcony, by the pool, at the beach, or in one of La Veranda's two restaurants.

This relaxed, simple, secluded hideaway is one of the last places on Phu Quoc to find quaint, affordable beachfront bungalows mere steps from the ocean, now a rare find on rapidly developing island. There are enough creature comforts such as air-conditioning, an excellent in-house restaurant, and swimming pool to make a longer stay enjoyable in this remote hamlet, which is as far from the airport as possible. The resort makes small eco efforts such as no single use plastic toiletries, refillable water pitchers instead of plastic bottles, and using bamboo straws. The friendly, accommodating staff at this family-owned resort make it a true touch of paradise for those seeking a Phu Quoc experience from a bygone era. 

With a jaw-dropping central swimming pool, a rooftop adults-only infinity pool, beautiful lily-filled koi ponds, and a whopping 126 villas and 59 suites with a private pools, Phu Quoc's most luxurious resort is a literal oasis where guests are spoiled with top-notch amenities and services. Guests also love the elegant interiors, watersports, kids program, rooftop gin bar, and six memorable dining outlets, including a beachfront bistro and a stellar Japanese-French omakase.

The first "off-the-grid" and solar-powered resort in Vietnam, Bamboo Cottages has evolved a bit but still maintains a simple, quiet vibe of bungalows set in a wild tropical garden with arguably one of the best views on Phu Quoc. Evolved from a family's holiday home, which still forms part of the property, the eco-minded lodge has a restaurant, daily yoga classes, beach barbecues, and activities available, including massages, kayaking, snorkeling, bicycle hire, cooking classes, and Vietnamese lessons.

This long-standing beachfront resort has a comfortable yet relaxing ambience with its pretty little brick cottages, a modern and roomy extension, manicured gardens, three swimming pools, and a charming garden restaurant, not to mention the helpful staff. The two-bedroom beach houses are a great option for families and the restaurant, Spice House, is a superb spot for sunset.

Bungalows and villas overlook a small private beach and the beautiful Gulf of Thailand, offering a serene escape; the 12 villas blend traditional Vietnamese with modern minimalism and some feature large terraces, Jacuzzis, or private pools.

As you would expect from a hotel interior designed by Bill Bensley, the resort is a bold, over-the-top, maximalist fantasy theme as a fictional French university from the 1890s, bursting with more than 5,000 European antiques and imaginative objets d'art. Various wings are named after academic departments, such as the Department of Agriculture, and every room within has a horticultural theme. Guests can relax at any of the three public pools, which includes an adults-only pool and kids' pool—or their own private pool if staying in a villa. Don't forget the pristine private white sand beach and the resort's cocktail bar. There's a kids club to keep ages 4 to 12 entertained while adults take classes or visit the spa.

Phu Quoc's first true eco-resort is a collection of rammed-earth and wooden bungalows scattered through a wide, tree-filled property fronting Ong Lang Beach. The resort continues to practice sustainable, low-impact methods, and if lazing in a hammock gets boring, there are a slew of activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, volleyball, and movie nights. Staff can assist with bookings at the spa, tours, ticket bookings, and motorbike rental. The restaurant, perched on the rocks, has a stellar view over the ocean, but is so popular with outside visitors that reservations are strongly recommended for in-house guests. 

A large infinity pool overlooking the ocean, an enormously wide beachfront, pathways dripping with gorgeous pink bougainvillea, and a jetty restaurant are a few of the memorable details of Ocean Bay, which makes it good value for the price. The rooms, which are predominantly in two-story bungalows and have outdoor bathrooms, are constructed with wood, stone, and other natural materials.

Set on a hill surrounded by tropical jungle and with amazing ocean views, Eco Beach Resort is a small and friendly place, with Balinese-style decor, a breezy open-air restaurant, and a swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas. The resort offers free bicycle and kayak hire, and there's also an on-site spa, fitness facilities, and a billiard table.

It may look like a giant shoebox from the street, but inside it's surprisingly elegant, with an emphasis on incorporating natural elements, such as coconut husks, bamboo, lacquer, and wood, into the design. Rooms are spacious, each with its own balcony, and the grounds are immaculate, with water features, ponds, swaths of green grass, and a stunning infinity pool overlooking the ocean. As is expected in this price range, it has a kids' club, gym, business area, a small recreation area with pool tables, an inviting spa, and a selection of high-end dining options, including Pakka, which serves up some of the best Indian in Vietnam.
