From island excursions to just-caught seafood, cable car rides to snorkelling, there’s a lot to do on Vietnam’s largest island. If you’re coming to Phu Quoc with family, why not spring for a fun-filled stay on one of the island’s beautiful beaches? VinOasis Phu Quoc on Bai Dai Beach makes it easy to experience the island’s best activities together. Here’s what you can look forward to in a family getaway at VinOasis.
Settle in
The excitement begins the moment you arrive at the VinOasis Resort grounds, neatly laid out with flowering gardens and palm trees. Head up to your room to admire the view of the beach and entire resort below. VinOasis welcomes all its guests with spacious, luxurious rooms ranging from 45 to 84 square metres. Bathrooms feature rainshowers and bathtubs, and every room has a balcony where you can unwind in Phu Quoc’s sweet sea breezes.
Tour the resort
The resort’s grounds floor is home to a special retail area with boutiques selling everything you need for your holidays, as well as memorable gifts to bring home. The Kids’ Club is ready with a play area and games to entertain children. For adults, the health centre is fully equipped with a modern gym, yoga studio, and beauty salon. Nestled in the gardens, the resort’s elegant Akoya Spa specialises in soothing Eastern therapies for spa-goers of every age.
TIP: Parents can take advantage of free daycare for children under four years old at the Kids’ Club, from 8am to 10pm daily.
Eat together
One venue everyone in the family will come to love is Nautilus, VinOasis’ popular buffet restaurant. Take your pick from an amazing array of Asian and International dishes, prepared right in front you by smiling chefs. Delicious Vietnamese cooking is always on the menu, as are tempting desserts and tropical fruit. At breakfast you can sample local delicacies such as Phở and bánh cuốn, and dinners are for feasts of grilled fish and fresh seafood.
Hit the beach
One highlight of visiting Phu Quoc is the chance to spend long, relaxing days in the water, strolling the white sand, and soaking up the sun. At VinOasis Phu Quoc, the private beach is ideal for families, and prepped with comfy sun loungers, volleyball nets and fluffy towels. The resort’s lifeguards are always on hand to keep your family safe as you have fun.
Slide and ride
When you’re ready for a change from the beach, VinOasis has two more water-themed features to check out. The expansive outdoor swimming pool is the perfect spot to kick back with a cocktail or swim a few laps while the children splash around in the kiddie pool. Best of all, VinOasis boasts a private water park with 14 slides, open only to resort guests. Parents and children will love trying out the wave pool, entering the Tiger Cave, and competing on multi-race slides.
Explore Phu Quoc
When in Phu Quoc, be sure to plan some day trips and tours to learn about the island’s culture and history. The National Park is where nature lovers go for hikes or boating along the river. There are ancient pagodas, pepper plantations, and bee farms to visit in the southern part of the island, and you can easily spend a day beach-hopping and fishing on the stunning An Thoi archipelago.
TIP: At night, ride the free VinOasis shuttle bus from the resort to the night market for a taste of Phu Quoc’s freshest seafood.
Play in the parks
At VinOasis, you don’t have to go far at all to be entertained. Vinpearl Land, only 400 metres away, is a huge amusement park guaranteed to entice children of all ages. Spend a few hours trying the rides, walking through the aquarium, watching the 5D cinema, and trying the games, shopping and restaurants sprinkled across the park. Only a short ride away, parents and children have easy access to VinPearl Safari and the wooded fairways of Vinpearl Golf Phu Quoc. Don’t forget to take a ride on the huge ferris wheel for an unforgettable panoramic view of Phu Quoc.
