Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s island jewel in the Gulf of Thailand, has steadily climbed the ranks of Asia’s most coveted luxury travel destinations. Powdery white beaches, calm turquoise waters, and an ever-growing roster of elite resorts have turned it into a must-visit for discerning travellers. Nestled at the southern tip of the island, Premier Village Phu Quoc Resort stands out — not just for its opulence, but also for a rare natural phenomenon: it's the only resort on the island where guests can witness both sunrise and sunset over the ocean, thanks to its remarkable location on the Ong Doi Cape peninsula.

A Secluded Peninsula Paradise

What sets Premier Village Phu Quoc apart starts with its geography. Located on the southernmost tip of the island, the resort spans a narrow stretch of land flanked by two coastlines, with villas strategically placed to provide uninterrupted vistas of the horizon. The east-facing shore welcomes the first light of day, while the western side delivers breathtaking golden-hour scenes as the sun sets into the Gulf of Thailand.

Phu Quoc, often referred to as “the Pearl Island,” has long been revered for its pristine beaches and increasingly high-end appeal. Yet Premier Village distinguishes itself not only through its natural surroundings but also through a carefully curated resort experience designed for luxury travelers in search of privacy, tranquility, and personalized attention.

Villas That Redefine Beachfront Luxury

The resort comprises 217 private pool villas, ranging from hillside retreats to oceanfront residences. Each villa is a self-contained sanctuary, designed with modern architecture, traditional Vietnamese influences, and natural materials such as stone and wood.

Inside, the villas are outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing natural light and ocean views to become part of the interior experience. The décor combines muted tones, organic textures, and minimalist elegance, reflecting the surrounding environment while adhering to five-star hospitality standards. Generous living spaces, full kitchens, and spa-inspired bathrooms elevate the sense of home-like comfort.

Multiple-bedroom configurations are available, making the resort well-suited for multigenerational families, couples, and small groups seeking privacy without sacrificing access to resort amenities.

Each villa at Premier Village comes with a private infinity pool, sun loungers, and a shaded terrace perfect for al fresco breakfasts or evening wine under the stars. The sense of privacy is unparalleled — guests can feel as if they have their own personal resort.

A Culinary Journey With Ocean Views

Dining at Premier Village Phu Quoc is more than a meal — it’s a culinary experience that celebrates local flavors with global finesse. Gastronomy is a key part of the guest experience and the resort features several dining options, each curated to emphasize freshness, regional ingredients, and culinary craftsmanship.

The Market, the resort’s main restaurant, offers an expansive breakfast buffet featuring both Vietnamese and international selections. Morning dining is enhanced by panoramic views of the sea, with open-air seating options available. Local delicacies such as bánh xèo (Vietnamese savory pancakes), fresh tropical fruit, and house-made pastries complement classic Western options for lunch.

Situated directly on the sand, the resort’s Juice Bar offers a relaxed yet vibrant alternative for daytime refreshments. Specializing in freshly blended smoothies and nutrient-rich smoothie bowls, the bar emphasizes wellness-oriented fare without sacrificing flavor.

For elevated beachfront dining, Corallo Restaurant specializes in grilled seafood, Mediterranean-inspired plates, and Phu Quoc’s signature pepper and fish sauce. Fresh catches are prepared to order and served alongside fine wines or craft cocktails. The restaurant’s setting on the western beach makes it an ideal venue for sunset dinners.

Located at the heart of the resort, The DELI serves as a cozy hideaway—ideal for heartfelt conversations, quiet reading, or simply unwinding throughout the day. The menu includes a refined selection of teas, bubble teas, premium coffees, and fresh juices suitable for all ages. A highlight for families, especially younger guests, is the delightful range of ice creams, which adds a playful and sweet touch to this elegant space.

As the sun begins to set, Swing Bar emerges as a standout destination for both romance and entertainment. This open-air venue offers a tranquil, light-dappled atmosphere at dusk, transitioning into a lively social hub as the evening progresses. With soft lighting and scenic sunset views over the ocean, Swing Bar provides a sophisticated ambiance perfect for cocktails or late-night gatherings. Live music and upbeat rhythms enhance the experience, creating a setting that balances intimacy with vibrancy. The bar also serves the award-winning Phu Quoc Beer: The Sun KraftBeer, adding a local craft highlight to its curated beverage list.

Private dining experiences—including in-villa barbecues, chef-curated tasting menus, and romantic beach setups—are also available upon request. These offerings enhance the sense of exclusivity and allow for highly customized culinary experiences.

Wellness and Spa: Rebalance and Recharge

At the heart of the resort’s wellness philosophy lies Plumeria Spa, a tranquil facility nestled within the hillside greenery. The spa offers a full menu of treatments designed to balance mind and body, with a focus on traditional Vietnamese healing techniques and all-natural products.

For couples or guests seeking a heightened level of privacy and comfort, the spa features VIP treatment rooms designed to accommodate joint sessions.

The layout and amenities make the VIP rooms ideal for romantic escapes or those looking to share a complete wellness journey in a serene, secluded setting.

The wellness program extends beyond the spa to include a fully equipped fitness center, yoga and meditation sessions on the beach.

Experiences Designed for Leisure and Discovery

For water sports enthusiasts, the resort provides kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear, allowing for exploration of the bay's clear waters and coral-rich reefs. Families traveling with children can take advantage of a dedicated Kids’ Club, while couples can book private boat charters or floating breakfasts in their villa pools.

Cultural immersion is enhanced through Vietnamese language lessons, allowing guests to engage with local customs and basic conversation in a fun and educational format. These sessions are suitable for all ages and levels and provide a deeper appreciation of the island’s heritage.

For younger guests, one of the most beloved activities is coconut hunting—an interactive adventure that takes advantage of the resort’s abundant coconut trees. Guided by staff, children explore the grounds in search of fresh coconuts, learning about the tree’s cultural significance while enjoying a hands-on, nature-based experience.

In addition, Premier Village Phu Quoc has established a partnership with Sunset Town, one of the island’s premier entertainment complexes. Guests can enjoy convenient access to Kiss of the Sea, a state-of-the-art multimedia show combining water effects, fireworks, light projections, and live performance. The resort provides arranged transportation and ticketing services, making it seamless to explore Sunset Town’s Mediterranean-inspired architecture, seaside promenades, and nightly entertainment offerings.

Architecture and Landscape Design in Harmony With Nature

Premier Village Phu Quoc was master-planned with environmental sensitivity in mind. Villas are carefully integrated into the landscape, ensuring minimal ecological disruption. Elevated walkways, lush foliage, and natural stone pathways create a sense of organic flow between structures and the surrounding ecosystem.

Infinity-edge pools, cascading waterfalls, and water features are employed throughout the property to reflect the peninsula’s dual-ocean character. At night, subtle lighting design enhances the resort’s ambiance without contributing to light pollution—allowing for stargazing and an immersive nighttime experience.

The property’s orientation makes full use of its 360-degree ocean exposure, and at various lookout points, both sunrise and sunset can be seen from a single vantage.

A Rare Sunrise-to-Sunset Experience

The defining feature of Premier Village Phu Quoc remains its rare natural positioning. Very few resorts in the world are situated on land narrow enough to provide clear eastward and westward ocean views. At Premier Village, this dual-ocean exposure allows for full appreciation of the sun’s daily arc across the sky.

Early risers can watch the sun rise over the eastern horizon while enjoying a tranquil beach walk or morning yoga session. As evening falls, the western coastline transforms into a stage for sunset, with soft lighting, calm waves, and ambient music enhancing the sensory experience.

Whether viewed from the villa’s private deck, a beachfront dining table, or the edge of the main infinity pool, this natural duality adds a poetic rhythm to each day at the resort.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility

As the luxury travel industry increasingly embraces sustainability, Premier Village Phu Quoc has implemented several initiatives in line with responsible tourism. Villas utilize energy-efficient climate control systems, while water conservation practices and a resort-wide recycling program are enforced.

Plastic usage is minimized through the provision of reusable containers, glass water bottles, and biodegradable amenities. Local sourcing of ingredients for the resort’s restaurants not only supports the community but also reduces the property’s carbon footprint.

Marine conservation efforts are also part of the resort’s mission, with beach clean-up initiatives and educational materials available to guests interested in ocean preservation.

Adding cultural depth to its sustainability ethos, the resort is also home to King’s Well, one of Phu Quoc Island’s most revered religious and historical landmarks. Located in the heart of the property, King’s Well is tied to a legend from the Nguyen dynasty, when King Gia Long and his soldiers were hiding in Ong Doi Cape, without access to food or fresh water. According to the story, the King drove his sword into the ground and prayed, “If I am destined to be a king, please save my soldiers.” A freshwater spring miraculously appeared, saving his troops. Since then, local fishermen have drawn water from the well before embarking on sea voyages, believing it brings prosperity and protection.

To honor this cultural heritage, a small temple was constructed at the site. Guests at Premier Village can participate in a guided hike to King’s Well, offering the opportunity to learn more about the legend while enjoying the tranquil wilderness that surrounds the area. This meaningful experience connects visitors to the island’s spiritual history and reinforces the resort’s deep respect for local traditions.
