Phu Quoc

Tropical Beaches • Unique Wildlife • Amusement Parks

Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s largest island and close to Cambodia, is the stuff that postcards are made of. Idyllic, pristine beaches framed with swaying palm trees. The turquoise, warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand. Lush, tropical surroundings, filled with hiking trails and wildlife. Phu Quoc will dazzle whether you want to be a total beach bum or to explore the mountains, the jungle and the rivers of this spellbinding island.

Why visit Phu Quoc island?

True, Phu Quoc is becoming much more popular/crowded in recent years: it’s easy to get to, for one, with Phu Quoc International Airport welcoming plenty of flights a day from Vietnam and further afield.

But the island still offers the chance to relax and unwind along some pristine beaches: On Lang Beach and Sao Beach are particularly dreamy! There are also plenty of private beaches in front of the islands’ many top eco resorts, where you can embrace a tropical paradise, undisturbed from pounding music or the persistent hum of jet skis.

Some travellers come to Phu Quoc to party; others come to switch off. Some never leave the beach; others have action-packed days of trekking along jungle trails.

Phu Quoc is a blissful retreat for families, couples and solo travellers alike. And our local travel team can help you build the perfect getaway, depending on the kind of holiday you’re looking for: adrenalin-filled or total relaxation!

Top things to do in Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc’s wonderful range of accommodation draws many travellers here: in fact, many of them never leave their paradise resort to explore the rest of the island. One particularly special place is Mango Bay – if you can’t afford to stay in the gorgeous wooden bungalows of this eco retreat, simply visit for dinner or a sunset cocktail: with views overlooking the ocean from its outdoor decking area, you’ll be glad you did.

Although plenty of travellers visit Phu Quoc for its beach parties and multi-day music festivals that attract international DJs, there’s a more serene side to the island – which is why it’s a popular spot for yoga and meditation retreats.

For those seeking adventure, Phu Quoc National Park covers over half of the island – and you can spend days hiking, kayaking, climbing and ziplining through the dense forests here. Scuba diving and snorkelling fans will love the tropical coral reefs of the An Thoi Archipelago while Vinpearl Safari and Vinpearland have large parks here, too – so if you haven’t had your fill of Vinpearl from Hoi An and Nha Trang already, check them out!
