Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc is a glistening island off the southwest coast of Vietnam. Half of it is a protected national park, and the other half is a fast-growing tourism centre boasting white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters.
Long Beach is its most popular palm tree-lined coast. But if you're looking for a more laidback experience, we recommend checking out the southern beaches of Bai Sao and Bai Dam. Explore the island's backroads by motorbike and get lost in the beauty of Phu Quoc.

How to get to Phu Quoc
Discover Phu Quoc
Are you looking for white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and a coastline filled with palm trees? If yes, then Phu Quoc is the right destination for you.
Although tourism has been growing incredibly fast on this paradise island, you can still find a good spot on the most popular beach called Long Beach, south of Duong Dong town. This is also the spot where you can find most accommodations.
Rent a motorbike to explore the island and discover its many white-sand beaches. If you are looking for a more unique experience or (almost) empty beaches, we advise you to have a look at the southern beaches of Bai Sao and Bai Dam.
Other popular activities include diving & snorkelling, visiting the national park, and trekking to Suoi Tranh Waterfall. Or, you can just relax on the beach and sip away a coconut or cocktail while watching the sunset.
