From Pearl Island to Global Luxury Haven
Lined with powder-soft white sand beaches and swaying coconut palms, Phu Quoc caters to both budget beach lovers and ultra-luxury connoisseurs staying at resorts like Regent Phu Quoc, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, and InterContinental Long Beach.
"Phu Quoc offers the cleanest ocean sunsets in Vietnam. Sipping fresh passionfruit cocktails as the sky turns magenta over Sunset Town is pure bliss," says lifestyle writer Minh Anh.
