In a destination rapidly rising on Asia's MICE map, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa redefines the way meetings are experienced. With creative concept rarely seen in the MICE world by Bill Bensley and ideal destination set along Vietnam's Emerald Bay, the resort takes the form of a fictional 19th-century university, turning corporate gatherings to creative campus experience.

Located on Phu Quoc Island, known for its year-round tropical climate, visa-free accessibility, and vibrant entertainment, the resort offers natural beauty with ease of access, making it an ideal choice for international gatherings.

A creative campus for Meeting and Incentives

At JW Marriott Phu Quoc, the Bill Bensley-designed 19th-century French university sets the scene for meetings. With over 1,400 sqm of flexible meeting space across six venues, including the grand Lamarck Ballroom, an opulent, high-ceilinged space accommodating up to 600 guests alongside five breakout rooms designed for more focused sessions.

The ballroom carries a sense of quiet grandeur, equally suited to polished conferences and evening galas, while the breakout rooms take on more individual character, ranging from an artist's studio to a theatre-inspired green room, offering settings that feel considered rather than conventional.

The vibrant campus of the resort reflects in each building. Guest rooms, suites, and villas are styled as unique “Departments”, adding a memorable and creative twist to every event.

Beyond the Ballroom: Themed outdoor venues

Events at the resort extend far beyond traditional meeting rooms. Across the nine-hectare beachfront estate, planners are offered a variety of open-air venues, fashioned by playful themes.

From barefoot gatherings on the powder-soft sands of world-famous Khem Beach to candlelit dinners tucked within a romantic garden behind a Gatsby-style pink mansion, each setting carries its own character. Poolside terraces invite golden-hour receptions, while manicured lawns and beachfront decks set the scene for gala evenings, team-building activities, and celebrations under the stars.

Elsewhere, the resort reveals more unexpected venues. A university-style running track offers a playful backdrop for themed celebrations or group activities, while the front lawn framed by a dramatic Vietnamese imperial gate creates a striking sense of arrival. Within the resort's JW Garden, gatherings take on a quieter, more intimate tone

Lamarck House: A private venue for exclusive gatherings

For a more intimate and prestigious setting, Lamarck House can be described as a private retreat within the resort.

This grand oceanfront villa spans more than 1,300 square metres and features seven bedrooms, elegant living spaces, private garden and a private infinity pool, making it ideal for executive board meetings, VIP retreats, brand launches, and private celebrations. Combined with personalised service, including dedicated butler, Lamarck House can accommodate requests spanning from private BBQ, performances to wellness sessions.

Within the Sun Ecosystem

Located in the dynamic southern part of Phu Quoc Island, the resort benefits from its connection to the wider Sun Group ecosystem, offering a broader sense of scale.

Just five minutes away, Sunset Town brings a Mediterranean-inspired backdrop with a west-facing coastline, the town is bathed in golden light as the sun sets. Different themed opening spaces set the scene for larger, more theatrical events. Nearby, Sun Signature Gallery and Sun Bavaria GastroPub offer contrasting settings: one contemporary, the other more relaxed and social.

As evening falls, Kiss of the Sea becomes a natural highlight, best enjoyed from a dedicated VIP lounge overlooking the sea.

Seemless Access with Sun PhuQuoc Airways

Getting to Phu Quoc Island is set to become even more effortless with the introduction of Sun PhuQuoc Airways, part of the wider Sun Group ecosystem. Designed to enhance connectivity to the island with Phu Quoc as its central hub, Sun PhuQuoc Airways is steadily expanding its network, linking the island to major Vietnamese cities and introducing new direct routes to Taipei and Seoul, with further connections across Asia on the horizon.

Curated Experiences beyond the Meeting Agenda

Beyond the meeting room, the experience takes on a more relaxed, almost leisurely rhythm. The resort offers five themed restaurants set the tone for evenings that drift from refined French dining to laid-back seafood by the beach.

Experiences extend beyond dining, with opportunities to explore the destination through activities such as guided bike tours along the coast or meaningful CSR initiatives in partnership with local communities. In between, guests ease into spa treatments, linger by the private beach, or join wellness sessions designed to restore balance after a day of meetings. Even the resort's JW Garden becomes part of the experience, with herbs and produce grown on-site finding their way onto the plate, a thoughtful touch to each meal.

With its expansive layout and distinctive concept, the resort also lends itself naturally to full buyouts, offering a rare sense of privacy and scale for large, immersive events.
