Green Bay Phu Quoc Resort & Spa

Hotel overview

Welcome to the eco-conscious, 4 star Green Bay Resort & Spa - one of our favourite spots to soak up the sunshine on the tropical shores of Phu Quoc Island. Boasting panoramic views across the Gulf of Thailand, the Green Bay is nestled in a beautiful coral bay on the west coast of Phu Quoc.

A rustic, yet beautifully appointed retreat, the 81 lodgings at the Green Bay are all designed to incorporate the natural surroundings and utilise sustainably sourced materials whilst still featuring all of the modern amenities expected for a luxurious boutique beach holiday. The accommodation choices include Garden View Bungalows (furthest from the beach), Green View Bungalows (similar but with tropical garden views), Bay View Bungalows (boasting sweeping sea views) and a range of villas (perfect for a family getaway or beach front stay...which we highly recommend!). We also love the outdoor baths and showers that feature in some rooms.

A stay here offers a chance to relax and connect with nature - kayaks are available to explore the pretty cove, and snorkellers will enjoy a swim around the coral reef. The onsite Spa is well appointed and offers some of the best treatments on the island. Whilst a more secluded spot, the location is still ideal to explore the island and bikes/motos can be rented, or it's just a short taxi hop to local restaurants and the main fishing town of Duong Dong. For those not wanting to venture out there are two restaurants offering the perfect balance of western and local cuisine and fabulous ocean views.

Watersports, Snorkelling & Diving

A number of the resorts across Vietnam offer water-sports from the beach (including kayaking, sailing, jet-skis, boating) or you can enjoy the underwater action around Phu Quoc on a snorkelling or diving tour arranged via one of the boat companies or through your hotel. Diving is best from November to March and fun dives will cost around USD100 per person, whereas snorkelling is around USD35 per person. For many Nha Trang is the best place to head for the quality of the diving. It has, however, become very busy with a lot of different dive shops too so it is worth considering the kind of experience you would like before choosing. Diving off the coast of Hoi An is a place for many to try out diving. It isn't busy there and so makes the ideal place to stop off for an extra couple of nights and to explore the underwater world. Con Dao is considered one of the best examples of marine conservation in the country. With over 340 species of Hard and Soft corals, teeming with a colourful array of marine life. Con Dao supports a high level of biodiversity and over 1,400 currently recorded marine species. With clear waters from February to July and visibility averaging 20-30 metres, Con Dao is an excellent place for diving and offers a unique opportunity to explore the amazing variety of underwater life. Explore the untouched and pristine corals, with a chance to see rays, turtles, giant barracuda, cobia, batfish and small bamboo sharks, as well as a whole host of tropical reef fish. Phu Quoc is often the beach stop of choice and there are a lot of dive sites around. The major dive sites on the Phu Quoc are Dry island and Nudibranch Island where you will be able to spot a variety of marine animals, including cuttlefish, octopus, scorpionfish, damselfish, nudibranchs, and moray eels. The sea is calm around here and in the dry season, you'll have clear water and great visibility.

Excursion

Explore Phu Quoc Island

Although the island is mainly seen by tourists as a beach escape, Phu Quoc has much more to offer and if you fancy escaping the white sand beaches, we recommend exploring by bicycle, taxi or moto to discover any of the following sights.... Phu Quoc National Park - Head to the North of the island and explore the primary rainforest. Look out for the rare langurs or macaques, as well as the birds of paradise soaring through the jungle. For the adventurous, you can also enjoy treks in the South to the Suoi Tranh Waterfalls to enjoy a picnic and a refreshing dip. Duong Dong Town - The main town and chief fishing port on the island, Duong Dong is a great spot to explore, especially early morning or early evening. Witness the ships bring in the daily catch, hop on a night time squid fishing trip and browse the colourful markets. You will also find a great selection of shops, bars and restaurants in town. Fish Sauce Factories - The main industry of Phu Quoc, fish sauce is produced on the island and you can enjoy a fragrant and fascinating visit to one of the factories.
