Taking over the footprint of a former French university, this JW Marriott outpost is one of the more unique resort hotels in Phu Quoc Island.

With a location on the northern end of Phu Quoc, Fusion Resort features luxurious one-, two- and three-bedroom villas with private pools on a strip of greenery steps from the beach.
