An extraordinary festive season of culinary craftsmanship, soulful celebration, and island splendour

As the year draws to a close, Regent Phu Quoc invites guests to embrace the magic of the festive season through a collection of exquisite experiences that awaken the senses and celebrate life’s most memorable moments, available from 12 December 2025 to 11 January 2026. With Phu Quoc named as the No. 1 Island in Asia by Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2025 and Regent Phu Quoc recently recognised by MICHELIN’s 2025 MICHELIN Key List as one of Vietnams’ finest hotels, the resort is transforming into a sanctuary of celebration where every flavour, rhythm, and emotion converge in a symphony of indulgence by the sea.

A Season of Culinary Excellence

This festive season, Regent Phu Quoc welcomes Chef Benito Gómez, the celebrated culinary visionary behind the two Michelin starred Restaurante Bardal in Ronda, Spain, for two exclusive evenings of gastronomic artistry. Guided by emotion and intuition, Chef Benito presents tasting menus that capture the warmth of the season through creative interpretations of Mediterranean traditions on 20 December at Ocean Club and 21 December at OKU.

At OKU, Chef de Cuisine Andy Huynh continues to delight with contemporary Japanese French finesse, curating immersive omakase journeys that celebrate precision, emotion, and artistry. Meanwhile, Ocean Club, the resort’s elegant beachfront dining destination, invites guests to savour Mediterranean inspired feasts beneath the sunset sky, from Steak Nights and Truffle Affairs to the signature Sundown by the Sea multi-course dinners paired with fine wines and Champagne.

At Rice Market, the season unfolds in true Vietnamese spirit, where families gather over authentic flavours that evoke nostalgia and joy. Highlights include the Hoi An Heritage Table, the Whispers of the Sea seafood evenings, and a Festive Afternoon Tea from 12 to 23 December, a refined interlude celebrating the flavours and colours of the season.

Festive Highlights and Signature Celebrations

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, guests can delight in curated culinary experiences across the resort’s dining venues:

Island Indulgence Beyond the Table

Signature treatments such as Quartz Immersion Therapy and Welnamis Energy Therapy restore inner harmony, while curated wellness sessions, from Golden Hour Tai Chi to Cocoon Meditation and Aerial Yoga, offer mindful renewal by the sea.

Private celebrations can also be tailored to perfection, from romantic beachside dinners and floating Champagne and caviar experiences in individual villas, to luxurious coastline cruises offering Champagne toasts against the island’s golden horizons.

Younger guests can immerse in a world of creativity and adventure through the Regent Kids festive program, filled with daily fitness games, art workshops, and outdoor adventures. From Wishing Jar Making and Papier Mâché Masks to Treasure Hunts and Beach Races, each day inspires imagination and joy under the tropical sun.

An Island Tribute
