Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc: Taste The Flavors Of The World In One Place

From dusk to dawn, Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc offers more dining options than any other resort in the Northwest of the Pearl island, and promises a culinary journey that is both diverse and exquisite.

Phu Quoc has a beautiful sea culture with pristine waters and lush jungles. Guests can take long walks on the beach and watch the most dazzling sunsets. But there’s much more on this travel list. This island is a gastronomic playground that makes it a must-visit for foodies. In the Northwest, Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc is your passport to a culinary adventure that will thrill those seeking diverse flavors.

Hugging the silvery sands of Bai Dai beach, this 5-star resort, managed by the Spanish hotel chain Meliá Hotels International, has more than seven restaurants and bars. Here, visitors are truly spoiled for choice, with each venue offering a unique ambiance and a selection of buffet and à la carte that can satisfy every gourmet enthusiast.

Asian and Western buffets

Your dream vacation starts at Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc. Wake up to a world of blue from the private pool beach-front villa, then fuel your day with breakfast like a local at Jarana. Here, you can try the authentic flavors of Vietnam's rich culinary heritage, expertly curated in the buffet. Wander through a culinary wonderland and start with a hot bowl of Pho (noodle soup) or Bun Moc (pork ball vermicelli soup) for North before traveling Central for Banh Beo (bloating fern-shaped rice cake) and then South for Banh Khot (mini savory pancake) and crispy Banh mi bursting with savory fillings.

Another choice for buffet is Food Market restaurant, setting out to spotlight Western dishes. With the rotating menus, breakfast options range from homemade breads and patisseries, fresh salads and sandwiches, the crispiest bacon in the tray to the smoked salmon roses. 

Casa Nostra - A taste of Italy

You might be surprised when knowing that Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc has the best Italian restaurant in Vietnam, honored by World Luxury Hotel Awards 2023. The ambience of the dining space appears to be warm and sophisticated with nature-themed artworks, creating the splendor atmosphere for intimate dining with your beloved ones. Featuring an array of flavors, subtle yet distinctive, each dish is prepared with passion and ingredients imported directly from Italy. The hearty tastes of linguine with prawns, tortellini with cream sauce or grilled peaches with red wine reduction sauce are noteworthy, and the main course with pumpkin risotto, beef steak and four cheese calzone deserves a special mention. 

Cape Nao beach club restaurant - A Mediterranean twist

If you want even more variety, Cape Nao, a stylish beach club restaurant located right on the beachfront, takes the very best of the Mediterranean style with surprising textures and the vibrant essence of local ingredients. Guests can try the rich and savory flavors of the signature dish, especially Paella, originating from the sun-kissed shores of Spain with the rice crisping in the pan.

In the outdoor area of the restaurant, it is the perfect setting for a day of family bonding, moments of laughter with friends, or a joyful evening of indulgence while enjoying fresh drinks with Phu Quoc's mesmerizing sunset, enhanced by the backdrop of vibrant music that sets the perfect vibe.

Doki Doki - Japanese-style dishes

Every visit to Doki Doki restaurant promises to delight the senses with something new. Here, the talented chefs know how to please diners with the craft of Japanese cuisine that emphasizes taste, artistry, and creativity—from Gunkan Wagyu with caviar and wasabi, followed by a rich bowl of miso-based ramen with customized levels of chili spice and satisfying Tempura. The chefs craft each dish exquisitely, showcasing the freshest seasonal produce in every bite.

Cocktails and live music

Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc also adds another layer to the experience with a vibrant nightlife scene on the tropical island. Whether you're in the mood for a quiet evening with a glass of wine or a lively night out, these bars provide the perfect setting.

Elyxr Bar brings a contemporary setting for evening revelry, while 1982 Sports and Fun Bar is ideal for sports enthusiasts who are keen on watching the big game on screens with beers in hand. Talented bartenders at Mixture craft an array of trendy spirits and time-honored classics, in addition to offering an extensive wine selection.

In-room dining

Experiencing gourmet cuisine is one of the decadent pleasures of traveling; however, there are times – say, after a long day of exploring – when the idea of eating dinner in a bathrobe seems equally compelling. Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc’s in-room dining features a variety of options at any time of day and is as high-quality as the restaurant. Additionally, the services include afternoon tea by the pool and breakfast served in your room.

Meliá Vinpearl Phu Quoc, which scores top marks for its golden sunset scenes, is a haven for those seeking a retreat from the ordinary. Bringing the essence of Spanish hospitality, “Soul Matters” philosophy is at the heart of the resort, where comprehensive wellness and recreational offerings are designed to nourish both body and spirit, with a passion for putting the guests first.

Towering coconut trees cast shade across lawns encircling each villa with a private pool, and secluded pathways leading to the soft sand stretching along an ocean that shimmers with extravagant colors at sundown. The resort's location ensures that guests are never too far from discovering the island's attractions, including VinWonders Phu Quoc, Grand World Phu Quoc, Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc and Vinpearl Golf Phu Quoc.
