Phu Quoc , Vietnam

🌊 Where Coconut Palms Sway and Time Slows Down

Welcome to Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s answer to paradise. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, this island paradise offers more than just beaches—it’s a dreamy blend of sunsets, coral reefs, rainforests, and fish sauce factories.

✨ Here, the days are lazy, the seafood is fresh, and the sunsets… unforgettable.


🌟 Top Things to Do in Phu Quoc

🏖️ Soak Up the Sun at Long Beach (Bai Truong)

Stretching for 20km, Long Beach is the heart of the island. Chill with a coconut in hand, dip into the calm waters, and catch golden sunsets every evening.

🐠 Snorkel or Dive in the An Thoi Archipelago

Hop on a boat and explore colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Clear water, quiet islands, and plenty of sunshine make it one of the best diving spots in Vietnam.

This UNESCO biosphere reserve covers more than half the island. Trek through the jungle, spot hornbills, and cool off at Tranh Waterfall—a solo adventure into nature.

🐚 Visit Starfish Beach (Rach Vem)

A surreal white-sand beach where dozens of red starfish rest in crystal-clear shallow waters. Great for photos, peaceful walks, and quiet reflection.

🍲 Eat Like an Islander

Don’t miss a seafood BBQ on the beach or a local bowl of Bún Quậy (stirred noodle soup). Want something unique? Try the island’s famous Phu Quoc fish sauce—it’s world-renowned.
