In lush grounds on a hillside, Lahana is likely one of the most tasteful and well-designed mid-range resorts on Phu Quoc Island. The rationale it doesn’t get a lot consideration is straightforward: it’s not on the seashore.

[Back to Contents]

The Location: Simply south of Dương Đông city and adjoining to Lengthy Seaside, Lahana Resort is positioned on a lush, tree-studded hillside overlooking the ocean on the central-west coast of the island. Accessed by a slender concrete lane from Trần Hưng Đạo Road, Lahana is inside straightforward strolling distance of the outlets, cafes, seashore bars and eating places on the primary drag, however far sufficient away that the resort itself is blissfully quiet. Not like the resorts on the seashore, Lahana echoes to the sounds of leaves rustling within the breeze and birds singing within the timber: it feels extra like a mountain retreat than a seashore resort. However, the sands of Lengthy Seaside are only a 5-minute stroll away. By taxi, the airport is 10 minutes away, the city 5 minutes, and the remainder of the island is definitely accessible through Phu Quoc’s wonderful street community.

Resort Grounds & Format: Constructed on a steep slope, Lahana is surrounded by protected forest. A comparatively small resort, Lahana’s rooms and bungalows are dotted round in depth gardens, timber, fish ponds and lawns. The doorway is a formidable vaulted bamboo construction, behind which a steep lane winds up the hillside with stone pathways main off it, twisting by means of the gardens to every room. No construction is greater than two storeys, and all buildings fade into the foliage that surrounds them. Electrical buggies ferry friends up and down the lane to their rooms, the swimming pool and restaurant (the latter two are on the high of the property). Buildings are a mixture of stone, concrete, wooden and thatch, all of that are in muted, pale beige tones. The gardens are perfumed with the scent of frangipani timber.

Swimming pools & Actions: As a result of Lahana is on the ‘improper’ facet of the seafront street, it doesn’t have direct entry to the seashore. Nevertheless, the resort makes up for this with a superb infinity pool on the high of the property overlooking the hillside, timber, and out to sea. The pool is very photogenic, nevertheless it’s not only a prop for social media: it’s additionally lengthy sufficient for swimming laps. Beneath the pool is an ethereal, open-sided fitness center, billiard room, children nook and convention centre, all of that are tastefully designed. There’s additionally a spa. The gardens are nice to stroll round: figuring out the tropical flowers and timber, and stopping on the benches beneath wood gazebos to look at the carp within the swimming pools. The sands of Lengthy Seaside are only a 5-minute stroll west of Lahana, throughout Trần Hưng Đạo Road. Motorbikes can be found for hire or the resort can arrange quite a few excursions across the island.

Visitor Rooms & Décor: All rooms at Lahana are restrained, minimally furnished and tastefully embellished. There’s a lot of wooden, lamps, area, mild, terraces, and the standard mid-range facilities, equivalent to air-con and widescreen T.V. The color scheme is beige and sandy grey-brown with touches of marine blue right here and there. The impact may be very managed, unpretentious however snug and cosy. Personally, I felt very at residence at Lahana. There are a number of room varieties, however they basically boil all the way down to ‘rooms’ or bungalows’. The previous are cheaper, smaller, and lack bathtubs, typically positioned close to the underside of the hill with views over the backyard and timber; the latter are bigger and costlier, with spectacular out of doors loos (bathe and bathtub), larger up the hill with terraces trying over the property and in shut proximity to the pool and restaurant. When you can, e book a bungalow. One thing Lahana has finished that the majority resorts neglect to do, is match the home windows and doorways within the exterior lavatory with netted grilles, which suggests you’ll be able to get pleasure from a shower with the recent air and pure sounds from exterior, however with out a cloud of mosquitoes getting inside.

Breakfast, Eating & Ingesting: Lahana solely has one restaurant and bar: the Ca Go is positioned on the high of the hillside overlooking the infinity pool. A pleasing, open-sided construction with arches main onto a patio and a thatched roof, the constructing is fairly extra spectacular that the standard of foods and drinks out there. A buffet breakfast is included within the room value, and the standard is okay, however nothing particular. There’s normally a day by day glad hour at sundown, however once I was there, because of the pandemic, the bar and restaurant closed at 5pm, so I wasn’t capable of attempt the drinks or dinner. There are additionally loads of eating choices close by the resort: both on Trần Hưng Đạo Road or in Dương Đông city.

Abstract: Lahana is a superb mid-range resort. I like the fashion, the structure, the foliage, the rooms, and the overall ambiance. Workers at reception are extremely heat and useful. The infinity pool is likely one of the finest on the island. There’s nothing pretentious or showy about Lahana: it’s only a well-made, tasteful, cosy resort. The one ‘drawback’ is that it doesn’t have direct seashore entry. However in case you needed to search out this commonplace of lodging on the seashore, you’d pay almost double the worth.
