Phu Quoc

Vietnam's largest island, Phu Quoc pairs powder-white beaches and turquoise bays with a dense, jungly interior protected as Phu Quoc National Park. Once known mainly for fish sauce and pepper farms, it has rapidly grown into a resort destination anchored by Long Beach, Sao Beach, and large-scale developments like Sun World and Vinpearl.

Getting thereMost travellers fly directly into Phu Quoc International Airport (IATA: PQC), which has domestic connections to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi plus a handful of international routes; there is no rail link to the island. An alternative overland-and-sea route is to reach the mainland hubs of Rach Gia or Ha Tien and take a ferry (~2.5–3 hours) across to Bai Vong Port on Phu Quoc.
How long to stay~3-5 days is typical, enough time to enjoy the main beaches, take a boat trip to the southern islands, and fit in a day exploring the national park or Duong Dong town.
