As the “Year of the Snake” slides ever closer, Bill Bensley’s unique collection of luxurious villas will transport explorers on a zoological journey into the realm of reptiles, mammals and sea creatures
What is your spirit animal? As the world looks ahead to the “Year of the Snake” in 2025, you may feel a closer connection to the realm of reptiles: smart, eloquent, creative and caring. Or perhaps you feel a kinship to the planet’s mammals, an affinity with our feathered friends in the skies above, or maybe the glistening ocean beckons you to dive into the domain of fish?
At JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, a reimagined mythical French university nestled between tropical jungles, turquoise seas and bright skies on Vietnam’s precious “Pearl Island”, every guest can immerse themselves in the world of their spirit animal. Lamarck University, which is said to have thrived between 1880 and 1940, advanced the study of native species and the endemic wildlife of Indochina.
As the world welcomes the “Year of the Snake”, guests can experience stylish stays in a beautiful three-bedroom villa
Within this center of learning, a collection of highly original and exclusive villas, brilliantly brought to life by Bill Bensley, are inspired by the colors of nature and the animal kingdom, empowering every visitor to discover a deep connection with nature.
As Vietnam slides seamlessly into the “Year of the Snake”, families and friends can come together and celebrate Lunar New Year, or Tet, amid the sky blue hues of the Department of Herpetologie.
This exquisite three-bedroom villa depicts the many wonderful reptiles that call Phu Quoc home, including several species of snake. With three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a generous living area ideal for entertaining, multiple outdoor spaces and panoramic views, these evocative villas seamlessly blend sophisticated design with complete comfort.
