Phu Quoc Island

Phu Quoc Island boasts idyllic beaches, romantic sunsets, evergreen forests, and a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal holiday destination for travelers looking to escape bustling city life. Located 45 kilometers west of Ha Tien in the far south of Vietnam, the northern part of the island is relatively untouched due to its status as a UNESCO-listed national park but there are plenty of luxurious resorts, funky bars, and quaint cafes along the southern coastline.

Aside from beachside activities, visitors can also explore traditional villages, expansive nature parks and Buddhist pagodas, all of which are easily accessible via motorcycle, taxi, bus or even daytrips by reputable companies. Catering to just about any budget level and preference, Phu Quoc’s dining scene ranges from local markets selling fresh seafood and Vietnamese street food to expat-owned bistros offering authentic western and European fare.

Travel tips

  • Phu Quoc has two distinct rainy and dry seasons. Going in the dry season means higher costs. The weather is nice, with little rain and quite a hot sun, so black and dark clothes will make your skin color dark, and the white color will make the image blurred, so taking pictures of your landscape will be blurred. So, portrait photography is true love.
  • Please prepare a lot of dresses and accessories (live virtual). Don’t forget sunscreen and sun protection + maxi dress. 
  • The area of Phu Quoc is quite large, so you should book a hotel near the tourist spots you plan to go to.
  • In the process of shopping or visiting crowded places, you should be careful with acts of pickpocketing, stealing…
  • If traveling to Phu Quoc alone or with the “other half”, motorbike hire is the most economical choice of transportation.
  • If traveling with family or in groups of 4 or more, rent a private car to easily control the journey and receive many useful tips from a local driver.
