The New-Generation 'Ho-kance' & 'Healing' Oasis for Korean Travelers

PHU QUOC, Vietnam, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A brand-new benchmark for luxury hospitality is set to emerge on Vietnam's paradise island. AMÉRYS Hotel Phu Quoc has announced its grand opening scheduled for November 1, 2026. Boasting a high frequency of direct flights from major Korean hubs like Seoul and Busan—operated by leading airlines including Korean Air, VietJet Air, Jeju Air, Jin Air, and Eastar Jet—this premium hotel serves as the ultimate solution for the booming trends of 'Ho-kance' (Hotel + Vacance) and 'Healing' (힐링). It provides a sanctuary designed to relieve the pressures of modern urban life.

A Multi-Generational Family Heaven with Unique Child Privileges

Reflecting the core philosophy of "Designed for Togetherness," AMÉRYS features 113 wave-inspired guest rooms. Accommodation options range from sun-drenched Superior rooms to sprawling multi-bedroom Presidential suites tailored for multi-generational families. Every living space is masterfully crafted with spacious layout breathability, allowing families to unwind in absolute comfort. Furthermore, specific rooms offer charming themed private children's beds.

Exclusive High-End Seclusion, "Viral" Aesthetics, and Seamless Entertainment Connectivity

For travelers seeking a true escape from bustling city life, AMÉRYS offers an isolated sanctuary characterized by intimate architecture and a pristine private beach. The property features spectacular panoramic views, serving as the perfect backdrop for guests wanting to capture "once-in-a-lifetime photos" for Instagram, Naver Blog, or YouTube, especially during the island's vibrant sunrise and sunset.

Beyond the hotel's tranquil boundaries lies direct connectivity to the most vibrant entertainment ecosystem in Phu Quoc. AMÉRYS is located minutes away from landmarks including the Hon Thom Cable Car, Sunset Town, and world-class multimedia art stages like Kiss of the Sea and Symphony of the Sea. This location allows guests to transition seamlessly between private relaxation and exciting cultural exploration, providing endless opportunities for artistic social media check-ins.

Redefining Affordable Luxury — The Ideal Alternative to Traditional Destinations

As Korean media and travelers increasingly compare global vacation spots, Phu Quoc has emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional locations like Guam, Saipan, or Japan. AMÉRYS brilliantly captures this shifting wave by offering exceptional "affordable luxury" value. The hotel provides world-class infrastructure and international standard services at competitive rates, ensuring optimized costs for travelers.

Mr. Karim Klaa, General Manager of AMÉRYS Hotel Phu Quoc, shared: "Our greatest advantage is specialized care for every generation. Children can enjoy the air-conditioned indoor Azuria Kid Club—the largest in this segment—featuring creative activity schedules. Parents and grandparents can indulge in the Spa Center, which integrates intensive treatment rooms, saunas, steam baths, and Ganban hot stone therapy. Most notably, seniors can access Genki House, a Japanese-standard wellness model offering traditional medicine, martial arts vitality exercises, and specialized physical rehabilitation to ensure a healthy, deeply relaxing vacation."

Special Grand Opening promotion packages are currently available for booking through the official website and major travel platforms. Phu Quoc Island operates as a Special Economic Zone, granting a 30-day visa exemption for all direct international arrivals

Thoughtfully Invested, Japanese-Designed, and German-Operated

AMÉRYS is invested by Les Sens Phu Quoc Hotel Service Joint Stock Company (a subsidiary of KNI Group). Distinguished by its unique "Oceanic Warmth" architecture, the project was designed by Raymond Architectural Design Office, a renowned Japanese firm with over 100 years of experience.
