An ideal luxury destination for business travellers, the new InterContinental® Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort, Vietnam, which opened on 28 June, provides inspiration with some of the most glamorous meeting and function spaces on Vietnam’s largest tropical island.

Located on Phu Quoc Island, the resort features a wide range of indoor and outdoor settings for meetings, events, conferences and incentives set on a pristine and secluded stretch of Long Beach. Delegates will be energised by the natural wonders, the world-class dining, and the authentic local experiences offered at the InterContinental® Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort. Its place on the island – listed by UNESCO as World Biosphere Reserve in 2006, covered with at least 50% of National Park, and surrounded by a stunning turquoise sea – is truly memorable. And it’s all just 15 minutes’ drive from the international airport.

The Conference Centre provides more than 2,000 square metres of indoor event space, with both privacy and convenience thanks to its location just off the main resort. The Grand Ballroom is a contemporary and elegant 870 square metre room easily hosting up to 600 banquet guests, while 130 delegates may also be seated in a purpose-built Theatre. Multiple break-out rooms feature natural light and state of the art audio-visual equipment. Additionally, there are stylish pre-function areas for bespoke tea breaks, displays or trade exhibitions. The Beachfront Garden provides a verdant space for al fresco banquets in a beautiful natural setting.

Business travellers can choose accommodation from a selection of 459 beautifully appointed rooms, suites and villas overlooking the ocean, mountains, or landscaped gardens and pools. All rooms provide stylish modern comfort and all of the state of the art technology connections needed for busy global travellers.

The resort itself sits along the tail end of Long Beach, a short 20 minutes from the island’s main town of Duong Dong. This spot along the 20 kilometre stretch of beach is the perfect place for collective team building, motivating and results-driven conferences and functions, as well as offering delegates the cultural charm of nearby towns and magnificent ocean sunsets.

Six restaurants and bars ensure delegates and planners are tempted with a selection of local and international gourmet tastes, such as authentic Vietnamese and regional Japanese at the glamorous Sora & Umi restaurant; beachside casual bites at Sea Shack; fresh seafood and specialty dining at Lava restaurant; healthy and homemade Italian at the poolside Ombra bar and restaurant; and cocktails at Ink 360 – the highest sky bar on the island with breathtaking panoramic ocean and mountain views.

As part of the resort’s Insider Collection, the InterContinental® Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort adds an enticing authentic local flavour to meetings and events. Our planners offer a range of services and activities to complement any meeting, incentive, event or conference that is curated to create a sense of place, imbibing rich local knowledge of the Vietnamese cultural influences and traditions. The result is an enriching and rewarding community experience for guests. The InterContinental® Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort Insider Collection connects delegates with local sights and venues that tourists don’t normally see, engaging team-building experiences that celebrate the unique character of the local Long Beach neighbourhood, and speakers who bring events to life, from celebrities to sporting heroes.

Insider Collection Themed Events include Lang Chai, or ‘Fisherman’s Village’, showcasing the breathtaking natural scenery and peaceful life of the local Phu Quoc fishing villages. Delegates will cherish the memories made enjoying a fresh seafood BBQ feast of crabs, lobsters and more paired with local fruit drinks and wines, watching live bands and spectacular fire dancing in a setting decorated in beautiful detail with bamboo lanterns and traditional fishing basket boats to evoke a rustic, salty atmosphere. Another Themed Event at the resort is the ‘Long Beach Night Market’, a recreation of the island’s famous night markets – a favourite of locals. Here, delicious authentic Vietnamese street food is offered within a colourful, vibrant atmosphere. The Night Market is decorated with bright lanterns, bamboo, and food stalls, with the sounds of live bands floating through the air. Local artists create souvenirs to take home and organised group games bring a sense of both fun and tradition.

At the end of the work day, or perhaps in the early morning hours before it begins, guests are welcome to enjoy the many rejuvenating or relaxing recreation facilities at InterContinental® Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort. Health and wellness begin in the 24-hour fitness centre, followed by a refreshing swim in one of the four swimming pools, or a signature treatment and soothing massage at the award-winning HARNN Heritage Spa. For the energetic, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkelling, yoga, pilates, zumba, basket boating and sailing await to help unwind with colleagues and new friends.
