Holiday Events at JW Marriott Phu Quoc

A Symphony Beneath the Stars

This festive season, Emerald Bay comes alive with eleven days of celebrations. Each day brings something new: Christmas feasts and beach barbecues, family workshops and magic shows, afternoon teas, live music, and gala dinners. From the sparkle of Christmas Eve to fireworks welcoming the New Year, it’s a program designed for all ages to share in the joy of the season. Once, in the fabled days of Lamarck University, an ambitious astrological project was begun but left unfinished. This season, the stars return to remind us to pause, rediscover wonder, and gather beneath the night sky. Like constellations guiding travelers, each celebration becomes a point of light, connected into a larger symphony of joy.
