The JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, situated along the Khem Beach coastline, provides a unique environment distinguished by its architectural approach. Renowned designer Bill Bensley created a concept based on the fictional history of a 19th-century Lamarck University, where each of the 231 rooms, suites, and villas embodies a distinct academic department. This fosters the sensation of staying not just in a hotel, but within an old yet playfully decorated university campus, imbued with a spirit of research and discovery. The decor features French colonial motifs, pastel hues, and the incorporation of over 5,000 unique artefacts and upcycled vintage pieces, adding depth to the overall narrative.
The elegant and spacious accommodations, many featuring ocean-view balconies, are equipped with modern comforts: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a mini-bar, and ironing facilities. For guests seeking more space and privacy, standalone villas with private pools are available. The private, marble-clad bathrooms are supplied with a hairdryer and quality toiletries. These elements ensure a high degree of comfort for all visitors.
The hotel offers five dining establishments and bars, delivering a diverse gastronomic experience. Highlights include Pink Pearl, which serves refined French cuisine, and the thematic Department of Chemistry Bar, where guests can enjoy inventive cocktails. For relaxation and rejuvenation, the property features three outdoor pools, including the famous seashell-shaped pool, as well as its private stretch of sand. Guests can visit the Chanterelle Spa, decorated in an 'Alice in Wonderland' style, for professional massages and a sauna, or utilise the fitness centre.
Additional services encompass a 24-hour reception desk, concierge assistance, currency exchange, and the arrangement of bicycle rentals and water sports activities. The total event space spans over 1,400 sq. m, including a Grand Ballroom. The hotel is located approximately 16 km from Phu Quoc International Airport. Its setting on the secluded Khem Beach makes it an ideal spot for a tranquil getaway.
