Phu Quoc Island
Warm, soulful eco-boutique. Contemporary Vietnamese design with wall art in every room, lush mango gardens, and a quiet, intimate atmosphere. Not flashy. More heart-forward than grand.
Hill view balconies face the road and can catch noise from outside — spring for sea view if you're a light sleeper
Why It Matters
Phu Quoc's original five-star hotel (opened October 2014), consistently awarded for dining (il Muro Italiano won Global Luxury Boutique Resort Restaurant 2022), ranked #14 Resort Rest of Asia by Condé Nast Traveler, and one of the few resorts in Vietnam with a genuine sustainability program plus an on-site art gallery curated by the co-founder.
Salinda is a 5-star eco-boutique resort on Phu Quoc's western shore — the side that catches the island's famous purple sunsets. It opened in 2014 as the island's first five-star property, and it still punches above its weight: 121 rooms and villas spread across 2.5 hectares of tropical gardens, three specialty restaurants each with their own chef, a Thai spa, and a salt-filtered infinity pool facing the sea. Sustainability is genuinely woven into operations here, not just a marketing line — over 85% of the grounds are dedicated to gardens with 100+ plant species, and the Purple Purpose program supports local communities.
Where You'll Stay

Upper-floor rooms with sunrise views of the hills and a garden front yard. Extra-large king bed with a mosaic headboard, local talent paintings on the walls. Note: the balcony faces the road side, which can pick up some external noise.
King or Twin · 43 sqm
Deluxe Room
The entry-level category, but don't write it off. First floor, balcony view over the front yard and charming townscape beyond. Extra-large bed with mosaic mural, rain shower in the bathroom. Modern Vietnamese character throughout.
King or Twin · 43 sqmDeluxe Sea View
Second-floor rooms with ocean views, a luxurious king bed, and a chaise longue. Vietnamese ethnic décor with tropical flair. Private balcony facing the water. A solid mid-range pick if the Premium floor is sold out.
King or Twin · 43 sqm
Garden Villa
Set within multi-level tropical gardens, this villa features a striking coconut shell mural, a lounge area, and a bathtub positioned to overlook the private verdant terrace. More secluded than the sea-facing rooms — the right pick for travelers who want garden privacy over ocean views.
King or Twin · 65 sqmPearl Suite Villa
The top-of-the-range option. A standalone villa with a spacious living room opening to a private veranda, a bedroom centered on a canopy bed adorned with capiz shell details, and a marble bathroom with both a rain shower and soaking tub. Steps from the beach and pool deck. This is the one for anniversaries and proposals.
King · 100 sqmPremium Deluxe Sea View
Top-floor rooms with direct ocean views from a private balcony. Modern tropical décor including handcrafted vibrant ceramics above the bed. TWG Tea from Singapore on arrival. The highest standard in the Deluxe room tier — worth it purely for the view.
King or Twin · 43 sqmSuite Sea View Hotel
A full suite with a separate living room, dining area, kitchenette, and a sunny private balcony facing the ocean. Décor is inspired by the island's famous purple sunsets. Rain shower and soaking tub in the ensuite. Great value for a larger space with elevated ocean views.
