Regent Phu Quoc begins 2026 with a renewed sense of purpose, shaped by the return of a familiar leader and a calendar of experiences that place culture, emotion and connection at the heart of luxury hospitality. From the homecoming of General Manager Juan Losada to a vibrant Lunar New Year celebration, an immersive Trúc Chỉ art exhibition, and a thoughtfully curated Valentine’s journey, the resort continues to redefine what refined island living can mean in Vietnam.
At the centre of this new chapter is the return of Juan Losada as General Manager. A respected hotelier with more than 15 years of experience in global luxury hospitality, Juan is no stranger to the resort. He was part of Regent Phu Quoc’s pre-opening and opening executive team, playing a pivotal role in shaping the property’s vision and positioning it as an ultra-luxury destination when it officially opened in 2022.
His return marks both a homecoming and a reaffirmation of the resort’s long-term philosophy: excellence grounded in authenticity, service driven by care, and leadership guided by experience. With an international career spanning destinations such as Dubai and Barcelona, Juan brings a steady, intuitive approach as Regent Phu Quoc moves confidently into its next phase of growth.
This renewed leadership coincides with a season rich in cultural expression. As Tết Nguyên Đán approaches, Regent Phu Quoc embraces the spirit of spring through a series of festive programmes that weave Vietnamese traditions into the fabric of contemporary resort life. Rather than recreating rituals as spectacle, the resort interprets them with subtlety and intention.
Guests are invited to participate in meaningful moments such as the Tree of Wishes ceremony, hands-on Bánh Chưng cooking classes, and calligraphy sessions that celebrate language and symbolism. These experiences unfold within an atmosphere of calm elegance, allowing travellers to connect with Vietnamese heritage while enjoying the ease and comfort of modern island luxury.
Art also plays a defining role in this cultural narrative. On view until May, the “Ethereal Dialogue: Trúc Chỉ Art Exhibition” transforms The Gallery at Regent Phu Quoc into a luminous space of contemplation. Featuring contemporary Trúc Chỉ paper art crafted from natural Vietnamese fibres, the exhibition explores the relationship between material, light and human perception.
Structured as a three-part journey—Emanator, Translucence and Perceiver—the installation invites viewers to move slowly, observe deeply and engage with Vietnamese creativity as a living, evolving practice. More than an exhibition, Ethereal Dialogue reflects the resort’s belief that luxury can serve as a platform for cultural preservation and artistic dialogue.
Alongside these reflective experiences, Regent Phu Quoc also celebrates love and togetherness. Throughout Valentine’s month, couples are invited to experience a romantic escape defined not by excess, but by serenity and intention. From beachfront moments accompanied by ocean breezes to personalised itineraries curated by dedicated Regent Experience Agents, romance unfolds at an unhurried pace. Wellness rituals, cultural discoveries and private moments by the sea are designed to help couples reconnect, creating memories shaped by presence rather than performance.
Together, these narratives—leadership, heritage, art and romance—illustrate Regent Phu Quoc’s evolving identity. It is a destination where global standards meet local soul, where celebration and stillness coexist, and where luxury is expressed through meaning as much as material. As Juan Losada guides the resort forward, Regent Phu Quoc continues to stand as a sanctuary for those seeking not only escape, but depth, connection and a sense of place on Vietnam’s cherished island of Phu Quoc.
