Mango Bay Resort – The Spa

Ông Lang, Phú Quốc Island, Vietnam | P.I Architects

The well known resort attracts the tourists by its eco-friendly concept, with only 44 rooms/bungalows on a piece of land that spreads over 10 hectares. The new spa sits on a light slope toward the sea, hidden behind the bungalows and surrounded by jungle. A small earth path connects it with the old one, who has become the space for yoga and Taichi practicing.

The Spa is composed of 4 buildings in rectangular shapes, linked by covered walkways, surrounding a landscape pond. Thick walls of rammed earth combine with the extended roof and the wooden louver doors/windows to create an airy and comfortable internal space. Local plants and flowers were used in the garden. The only exception are the plumerias planted in the landscape pond, which represent a new beginning and expectation of peace.
