Housed in a colonial style mansion, this luxury property is in the middle of a 12 mile stretch of white sand. Designed to reflect the ambiance of a colonial seaside mansion, the boutique resort is set surrounded by tropical gardens. Located off the coast of Vietnam, the resort is a gem on Phu Quoc Island, fast becoming a tourist hot spot. A must do is snorkeling and diving, and the concierge can arrange for both. Or if you are feeling lazy, spend a lazy day on the beach getting a massage. Rent a jeep or a motorcycle to best explore the island, admire the beaches or go down the dirt roads to explore the National Park and visit the villages that make the famous fish sauce. Grand Mercure La Veranda Resort provides a little something for everyone- a relaxing or an adventurous holiday, it's completely up to you.

For a beachfront holiday off the beaten track, you have to look no further than this eco-friendly resort. Mango Bay, host to Vietnam's first earth rammed bungalows is enclosed by two deserted beaches and protected forests. Explore the nearby terrain on a bike, which leads up to the National Park, visit the craft villages, head into the water for some excellent dives, and sit by the beach for some of the most amazing sunsets. Fifteen minutes north of Phu Quoc airport, the island’s first eco-friendly, low density resort is driven by a passion to protect the environment and a strong commitment towards island culture. The bungalows’ al-fresco bathrooms, for example, harness solar-powered hot water. The Mango Bay Resort offers a uniquely relaxing atmosphere.
