Mango Bay

Castaway escape ▪️ Phu Quoc
Vietnam
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

This rustic-style eco-resort is among the finest we’ve had the pleasure of visiting and certainly has lots to shout about.

While the resort is undoubtedly not the place for gadget-lovers or the amenities-hungry, the team at Mango Bay deliver ‘the basics’ to perfection, in the process creating the ideal getaway for clients looking to escape the digital world.

There are a range of huts and bungalows to choose from, most of which feature open-air bathrooms and remain fairly open to the elements throughout. There’s something for every budget, with the sea view plantation bungalows being particular favourites of ours. The terrace restaurant serves exceptional Vietnamese and Western fusion cuisine in a relaxed, social atmosphere. The resort also boasts a superb butterfly and endangered species garden, a beach bar, water sports facilities and a wellness centre. Just bring your own book…

Why we love it

“One of my favourite hotels in all Vietnam. You can't help but fall in love with the place.”

Rustic tranquillity

While the thought of no air-con, access to TV or other mod cons may seem a little scary, when you arrive at Mango Bay it’s almost a sense of relief. An opportunity to really cut yourself off from the world and enjoy some much needed R&R without modern disturbances. Feel the stress rolling off your shoulders and let mother nature in (through your open air bathroom!) as a sense of calm and tranquillity washes over you…

Family-friendly

While there’s not a pool to occupy the kids, there are ample activities to keep everyone entertained and involved, from learning gardening techniques to making underwater discoveries, and even giving kite flying a go, leaving you plenty of time to finally finish that book you’ve been wanting to read. The superior seaview family bungalow is ideal for a restful evening with the kids after a busy day of exploring. Family holidays can sometimes seem challenging but Mango Bay makes it seem effortless.

What can you do there?

Yoga overlooking the sea at Mango Bay Phu Quoc

Start your morning feeling zen with a beach yoga session and you’ll be ready to take on the island activities for the day (even if that’s nothing more strenuous than a long-awaited date with a sun lounger!). Don your flippers and discover the tropical fish and coral living in the clear waters, or if you’re more comfortable with your head above the water, paddle your way around on a kayak or paddleboard breathing in the warm sea air. Learn about local life on the island and join a tour further afield to visit the city and local markets – perhaps even try your hand at some squid-fishing.

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

It was amazing from start to finish. Really informative when we were planning the trip, flexible about our itinerary, offering a range of options but all backed with knowledge of the lodges and reserves. The support when we were away was excellent with alternative arrangements made quickly when a flight was cancelled and great advice when our return flight seats were changed. We would absolutely recommend the company, particularly if you are looking for something a little different but special.
