Inspired by the dream we all have of living on the beach, Mango Bay (www.mangobayphuquoc.com), a green resort of understated elegance spreading along one stunning kilometre of Phu Quoc coastline, has taken a step further to realize the dreams of having our beach nuptials on a secluded island.

‘Si tu veux savoir combien je t'aime, compte les vagues’ as the French say (romantic accent included), a wedding on the beach is where young couples dream of taking their vows. With that in mind, the bride and groom who get married at Mango Bay will have a stunning backdrop of the ocean, crystal clear turquoise water with waves gently lapping onto the shore while saying ‘I do’.

The fairy-tale wedding package at Mango Bay includes:

- a heavenly wedding ceremony on the beach, complete with rustic bamboo arch adorning with fresh flowers scenting the air. Afterwards, the newlyweds can enjoy their first dance on the beach, their toes in the sand, sea breeze in their hair and romance in the air. How many people can do that on their wedding day?

- a dinner party with live band and a fabulous spread of exquisite food, when wedding guests can treat their palate with exquisite Asian and Western cuisine, prepared by Mango Bay chef Ms. Linh and her team who are dedicated to tantalizing guests’ taste buds and bringing them the best Phu Quoc has to offer. Their greens would come fresh from the market that day, if not straight from the resort’s own herb garden, their seafood from the fishermen’s boats and meat reared by the island’s farmers, and the result is a symphony of flavours guaranteed to please the most discerning gourmands. Drinks are not included, but the bar offers an international wine selection and to quench your thirst, as well as an array of tropical freshly squeezed juices and unrivalled cocktails.

- overnight accommodation for all attended guests in elegantly furnished rooms/bungalows with crisp white linen, gauzy four poster beds and locally handmade furniture. Most rooms have outdoor bathrooms overlooking lush vegetation and hot water is provided through solar source, testament to Mango Bay’s ethos of being one of the most environmentally friendly resorts in the country. Bungalows are set in 20 hectares of indigenous natural forest and garden, giving a sense of space and seclusion.

- a special romantic set up for the bride and groom

‘Mango Bay has always been known as the ultimate romantic destination,’ says Ronan Le Bihan, General Manager of Mango Bay Phu Quoc, ‘With this wedding package, we take romance, intimacy and seclusion to the next level by giving couples the perfect backdrop for the most unforgettable day of their life, making sure their next journey in life together is off to a perfect start.’

The package is for a minimum booking of 20, and if you book the full capacity of 40 rooms/bungalows, you will have this whole boutique gem of a resort to yourself.

(And the above French saying means ‘If you want to know how much I love you, count the waves’)
