4. Fusion Resort Phu Quoc’s Wellness Voyages
As the only all-inclusive spa resort on Vietnam’s largest island, Fusion Resort Phu Quoc, is a natural fit for the property’s recently launched Wellness Voyages. These multi-day vacation packages focus on what experts at the resort call the three pillars of health: “fusionmind” for physical fitness; “fusionsense” for optimizing health from the inside out; and “fusionsoul,” which helps guests use meditation, yoga and massage to improve their mental wellbeing.
Designed to combine elements of a wellness retreat with opportunities to enjoy free time, the Wellness Voyages feature morning yoga or active fitness classes, Tai Chi and meditation, two spa treatments per day, all meals and drinks (except alcohol), cooking classes, and cultural excursions, as well as roundtrip airport transfers and priority check in. Wellness Voyages range from three to five days during which guests will stay in one of the resort’s 97 villas, each with its own private plunge pool and secluded garden.
The Wellness Voyages are available year-round with rates for a Garden Villa starting at $949 dbl for a 3-day package, $1,846 dbl for five days, and $2,758 dbl for seven days.
