Why Choose Milana
A River-and-Beach Hideaway in Cửa Cạn
Stay where Phú Quốc slows down — between the calm Cửa Cạn river landscape and a private beach setting in North Phú Quốc.
Milana Beach Resort is a river-and-beach hideaway in Cửa Cạn, North Phú Quốc. Unlike typical beach-only resorts, Milana combines a private beach setting, the calm Cửa Cạn river landscape, kayaking, fishing, beachfront dining, and a slower north-island atmosphere. The resort has 46 rooms across 8 categories, with 18 riverfront bungalows as the hero product. Formerly known as Chez Carole Beach Resort & Spa, Milana features Vietnamese nhà vườn garden-house architecture with modern boutique comfort.
6 Reasons to Choose Milana
River + Beach in One Resort
Milana sits where the Cửa Cạn River — Phú Quốc's longest river — meets the sea. 18 bungalows line the river; a private beach faces the Gulf of Thailand. A rare dual-waterfront setting that most Phú Quốc resorts cannot offer.
Vietnamese Garden Architecture
Inspired by the "nhà vườn" tradition — bungalows set within tropical gardens connected by winding paths, native trees and warm terracotta. Different from the glass-and-concrete style of mega-resorts on the south coast.
46 Rooms, Boutique Scale
With 46 rooms across 8 types — from 35m² garden rooms to a 200m² pool beach villa — Milana is deliberately small. Intimate service, quiet surroundings, and no crowded pools or buffet queues.
Nature Activities on Doorstep
Kayak on the Cửa Cạn River through mangroves. Fish from the riverbank. Walk to the beach. Cycle to nearby Cửa Cạn village. No shuttle bus needed — everything is within walking distance.
North Phú Quốc — The Quiet Side
Cửa Cạn is on Phú Quốc's quieter northwest coast — 30 minutes from the airport, away from the crowded south and central zones. Close enough to explore, far enough to unwind.
Formerly Chez Carole
Milana continues the heritage of Chez Carole Beach Resort & Spa — same location, same river-meets-sea setting — with a refreshed boutique identity and upgraded facilities.
Milana vs Typical Phú Quốc Resorts
Most resorts on Phú Quốc are large-scale beachfront properties. Milana offers a distinctive river-and-beach hideaway experience.
