Reset, recharge and reconnect with the ones who matter to you in the harmonious setting of Vietnam’s ‘Pearl Island’, where Sailing Club Signature Resort Phu Quoc sets the scene for gastronomically-charged, five-star decompression
Make 2023 the year you discover the joys of slow living by spending five magical nights and laidback days soaking up the sun and atmosphere at Sailing Club Signature Resort Phu Quoc – a sure way to recharge your batteries. In its harmonious natural setting, this luxury hideaway on Phu Quoc – known as Pearl Island, Vietnam’s largest – is all set up to provide everything you need to reconnect with what matters, whether that’s family, friends or time to pursue your interests. Free spirits will appreciate the easygoing vibe – Scandinavian-style minimalism and artsy design are perfect backdrops for decluttering your mind and here, five-star luxury comes with a homely, relaxed stance.
Our winner and their guest will stay in a spacious, three-bedroom villa with floor-to-ceiling windows, private pool and garden. You’ll also have your own fully-equipped kitchen, leaving you free to experiment with local produce (be sure to include the island’s famous fish sauce) or fire up the outside barbecue. It’s easy to provision up at Sandals, The Market, where you can also learn about Vietnamese cooking – or arrange to have a chef prepare the catch of the day for an in-villa gourmet meal. Take a seat at the all-day restaurant for signature dishes that put a modern spin on traditional flavours, or continue your gourmet journey with a cooking class, starting with a market visit to hand-pick the freshest ingredients. For a special night, book in to the chef’s table for a multi-course food and wine celebration. Meanwhile, a gym is on hand for energetic moments, perhaps followed by a steam bath or a stress-relieving treatment at the spa – included in the prize is a 60-minute massage for both you and your guest. For those with children,
a kids’ club provides all the fun they could need while you relax.
When you fancy stepping beyond your private oasis, the bustle of local life awaits. Explore the 150km coastline, taking in white beaches with gentle, transparent waters ideal for watersports, discover waterfalls and caves in the evergreen forest or head to the mountains for a trek.
