Regent Phu Quoc has been awarded One MICHELIN Key in the 2026 MICHELIN Key Hotels selection, affirming its position among Vietnam’s most exceptional hotel experiences.
The newly announced accolade marks the second consecutive year Regent Phu Quoc has achieved this, following months of meticulous evaluation by MICHELIN inspectors.
The MICHELIN Key recognises hotels offering outstanding stays through excellence in architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, individuality and character, value for the experience, and a meaningful connection to their destination.
The award adds to an exceptional year of international recognition for Regent Phu Quoc, which was named the No. 1 Resort in Southeast Asia and No. 58 among the World’s 100 Best Hotels in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026.
Set along the white sands of Long Beach on Phu Quoc’s west coast, Regent Phu Quoc offers an intimate expression of modern luxury through spacious suites and villas, highly personalised service, and experiences shaped by the culture, produce and natural beauty of the island.
The latest recognition arrives as the resort prepares for an exceptional calendar of culinary, cultural and restorative experiences, giving Australian travellers new reasons to visit in the coming months.
