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.
