Travel - Vietnam : A Change of Sea-nery

As the increasing popularity of Phu Quoc, Vietnam becomes apparent, the hunt for the ideal accommodation rich in unspoiled surroundings, stretches of beach, and exceptional hospitality is underway by many travelers. For the famed Centara Hotels and Resorts’ Boutique Collection, the Chen Sea Resort & Spa on the country’s largest island off the southwestern coast came about to fill the needs for the influx of Phu Quoc’s visitors. The 36-villa property rests away from the buzzing town center on a bay of the west coast to provide guests with unspoiled access to well-maintained sands, a spa, tennis courts, celebrated restaurant, adventure excursions, tennis courts, an ocean-facing pool and a wide array of amenities.

Commendable for a commitment to preserving the natural area of the island, the Chen Sea Resort & Spa provided minimal disruption to the surroundings and offers an impressive combination of rustic island charm with upscale accommodations. The concept of sustaining this unique marriage is even prevalent in the property’s dining facility, Il Ristorante. The Mediterranean restaurant offers a variety of succulent dishes traditional to its cuisine, all the while incorporating Phu Quoc’s well-known fishing heritage with menu items featuring a fresh selection of seafood for diner’s to indulge. For refreshments while unwinding on the beach, the Ghe Lounge Bar is sandside and prepared to serve up cocktails and revitalizing drinks.

The Chen Sea Resort & Spa’s 12 large pool and spa villas maintain an authentic Vietnamese edge, as the structures are traditional timber houses brought in from their original location of the port city of Hoi An. The timber houses were shipped to Phu Quoc where the facilities were rebuilt into the luxury holiday accommodations available today. The villas come fully equipped with a private terrace to provide stunning ocean views. All rooms on the property include a LCD television, DVD player, digital safety box, mini-bar, coffee and tea maker, and complementary Wi-FI.

For guests seeking a slice of adventure to accompany a tranquil getaway on the shores of Phu Quoc, the property makes a variety of activities easily available to select from. In addition to the 22-foot sailing boat equipped with a selection of Hobie cats and laser dinghies, a speedboat is accessible for an exploration of the breathtaking coastline of the island. Diving trips, windsurfing, kayaking and snorkeling can quickly be arranged for visitors interested in splashing around in the crisp, clear waters of the Gulf of Siam.
