Holding the Responsible Hospitality VERIFIED™ badge, the sustainability certification recognised by Forbes Travel Guide, InterContinental Phu Quoc demonstrates an ongoing commitment to responsible hospitality, where environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and guest wellbeing are woven into every part of the experience.
In line with IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Journey to Tomorrow programme, the resort continues to protect the island’s natural environment, empower local communities, and create meaningful stays rooted in care and sustainability.
At InterContinental Phu Quoc, responsible travel reflects care for people and place. In collaboration with VietHarvest, the resort supports surplus food rescue and nutritious meal delivery to communities in need. Through IHG’s Journey to Tomorrow, the resort partners with Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation to help protect vulnerable children. Guests are invited to join A Greener Stay by skipping housekeeping, conserving water and energy while earning IHG One Rewards points.
We bring sustainability and local flavours to life in every dish. Our vibrant herb garden provides fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables that our chefs transform into plant-based, locally inspired creations. Beyond the kitchen, the resort pursues sustainable operations through our Carbon Reduction Program, including solar-powered water heaters and energy-efficient practices. By sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible, we support Vietnam’s communities while offering guests an authentic and meaningful experience.
Reducing the resort’s environmental footprint is at the heart of our operations. Over 20,000 kilograms of materials are processed for recycling while single-use plastics continue to be minimised through our Plastic Replacement Program. Water conservation is embedded in every process, with modern treatment systems meeting WHO guidelines and landscaping designed with drought-tolerant plants irrigated using 100% recycled water through efficient drip and bubbler systems. These efforts have been recognised with EDGE Advanced Certification, achieving 41% energy savings, 35% water savings, and 97% less embodied carbon — reflecting our ongoing commitment to sustainable practices and responsible hospitality.
