Lamarck University, inaugurated in 1904, was named after the then popular French scientist Jean Baptiste Lamarck, but was closed during the Vietnam war in the 1970s. In January 2017 JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay saw the potential to brush off the dust and to resurrect the property back to her former glory as a one-of-a-kind beach resort through a restoration project led by hospitality designer Bill Bensley.
Today, guests can be among the first to discover the pristine island of Phu Quoc, a hidden lush paradise off the southern coast of Vietnam. Travel back to the bygone era of the early 20th century with Bill Bensley’s whimsical design and exquisite detail in all 244 rooms, suites, and villas.

Blessed with rich marine life and home to unique traditions, this Pearl island is full of wonders for the curious explorer. Unlock the wondrous secrets of local cuisine and rituals as our associates orchestrate JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay’s masterful service for you. Uniquely enriching discovery is beckoning your adventurous spirit.
