Vietnam

Imagine a tropical oasis and a never-ending beach brimming with powdery sand: paradise found. Located on Vietnam’s Unesco World Biosphere Reserve on Phu Quoc Island, the resort’s natural beauty is instantly captivating. Walk through palm-lined gardens to reach a private stretch of beach or relax by a tranquil lake in a villa constructed from bamboo at the Harnn Heritage Spa (parents may do so guilt free with their children safely at Planet Trekkers kids’ club). There’s no losing sight of the exquisite setting as you return to your luxury room, suite or villa, since floor-to-ceiling windows keep the ocean or lush gardens before you.

Dining is a delight with six restaurants and bars– including the highest bar in Phu Quoc. Don’t miss local speciality Ham Ninh flower crab, steamed, seasoned and served with a dipping sauce. Venturing further, a bustling night market in nearby Duong Dong Town awaits, or explore the pristine Suoi Tranh waterfall. IM.
