InterContinental Phu Quoc Welcomes the Golden Festive Season by the Blue Sea

At InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort, the festive season is not a fleeting moment, but a journey of light, emotion, and renewed connections between nature and people.

In the heart of the resort’s main lobby, a Christmas tree adorned with shimmering, ocean-inspired ornaments radiates a warm golden glow. A children’s choir lifts pure, joyful Christmas carols into the air, marking a peaceful beginning to the holiday season.

The morning begins in a slow, gentle rhythm. At Sora & Umi, the aroma of coffee blends with the sea breeze and early sunlight. Soft conversations float through the air as children’s laughter echoes in their parents’ arms.

By noon, the resort transforms with the sweet undercurrent of celebration. At Mercado, the scent of cinnamon drifts from a gingerbread house, carried by the wind across the open spaces. Children run freely along the sand, their laughter merging with the sound of waves, while adults slow down and turn inward: relaxing on bean bags beside the pool or retreating to HARNN Heritage Spa, where notes of leaves, ginger, and lemongrass interweave in the air. As sunset falls, the island becomes enchanted. Drums beat beside a glowing bonfire, while dancers emerge with blazing torches swaying in the ocean breeze.

The most anticipated moment arrives on December 24, when families gather around the Oasis pool, awaiting the legendary arrival of Santa’s family. Children’s eyes sparkle with delight as they hold hands with, and are lifted into the arms of, Santa Claus in his iconic red suit, who arrives riding the waves, bringing countless gifts for well-behaved children.

On Christmas night, the LAVA restaurant welcomes guests into its familiar warm ambience, elevated by an extraordinary festive menu. Beneath soft golden lights and beside gently swirling glasses of wine, each dish becomes a gift from the sea: refined, expressive, and deeply rooted in coastal flavours.

On the night of December 31, the entire garden is dressed in a sparkling new cloak of light, welcoming the Tropical Grandeur New Year’s Eve Gala. A lavish buffet of seafood, grilled meats, and delicate desserts unfolds alongside live music and spectacular artistic performances. As the celebration flows on, INK 360, the highest rooftop bar in Phu Quoc, keeps the energy alive with vibrant entertainment. When the clock strikes midnight, fireworks illuminate the night sky, a spectacle both dazzling and serene.

The following morning, dawn lays a soft golden veil across the sea. Guests cycle along the winding paths of the resort, letting warm sunlight kiss their skin. Each festive season at InterContinental Phu Quoc becomes a journey of carefully cultivated emotions, thoughtfully curated experiences, and connections gently woven closer together.
