Phu Quoc, Vietnam
Regent Phu Quoc
Regent Phu Quoc skips standard hotel rooms entirely — every one of its 176 suites and 126 villas is built around a private pool or a beachfront position on Long Beach, backed by a six-restaurant dining program anchored in Vietnamese cuisine.
Phu Yen, Vietnam
Zannier Bãi San Hô
Zannier Bãi San Hô earns its place through remoteness and land, not novelty — a 98-hectare private peninsula in Phu Yen province with 73 villas spread across rice paddies, hillside, and beachfront, facing a protected coral reef bay, on a stretch of coast most itineraries still skip.
