La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc, a little maritime gem in a green setting
A splendid 5-star hotel awaits you by the azure sea, offering breathtaking views of a pristine white sand beach on the idyllic island of Phu Quoc. The architecture of La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc, a proud member of the 'MGallery Collection' within the Accor Group, evokes the style of French residences in Cochinchina from the 1920s.
A Building with a Story: Witnessing the Life of Madame Catherine, the Foundress in Love with Indochina
Let's step back into the 19th century, during the era of French colonization, with one of Madame Catherine's ancestors. Hailing from France, he arrived in Phu Quoc and wedded a Vietnamese woman, Madame Thanh. The couple made their home in Phnom Penh, the current capital of Cambodia, where Madame Catherine was born and raised. As an adult, she discovered the island of Phu Quoc, situated off the Khmer coast, and had La Veranda constructed there. This exquisite colonial house graced a dream beach, intended for family relaxation. Madame Catherine adorned this charming edifice with a myriad of decorative items, collected until her departure from Indochina in 1960. Subsequently, in 2006, it transformed into a hotel complex, 'La Veranda Resort,' and began to welcome tourists.
The establishment occupies roughly one hectare, encompassing a lush tropical garden. It maintains a human scale, with 70 spacious rooms arranged in the quintessential style of 'Belle Époque' colonial architecture. Beyond their vintage wooden doors, an early 20th-century ambiance reigns, exuding old-world charm with period furniture and objects harkening back to the days of French Indochina. Notable features include the four-poster beds, exquisite oil paintings, handcrafted tiles, and balconies radiating 'French' elegance, boasting views of the turquoise or emerald sea or the lush garden. This environment, both prestigious and family-friendly, transports you into a gilded past.
As a 5-star establishment, La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc - MGallery Collection provides its guests with the full array of facilities expected from a top-quality hotel. The lavish accommodations include well-air-conditioned bedrooms with wardrobes, dressing rooms, sitting areas, and safes. The private bathrooms come equipped with a bathtub/shower, slippers, and toiletries. Additional amenities include round-the-clock reception service, complimentary Wi-Fi, attentive staff, two restaurants serving inventive and refined cuisine, a bar that remains open until 11 p.m. offering a wide range of cocktails, and spa services in an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. The resort also boasts two large and magnificent infinity pools.
La Veranda remains the epitome of luxury in Phu Quoc, even with the recent emergence of other luxury or boutique-style establishments.
