Phu Quoc Tourism

Phu Quoc is the biggest island in Vietnam, boasting the most beautiful white sand beaches, surrounded by palm and coconut trees. It's the largest island in Vietnam and is renowned for its stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush tropical landscapes. Located just 45 kilometers from the southern tip of Vietnam and just 4 kilometers from Cambodia, it is the perfect spot for a long weekend getaway. Moreover, you don’t need a visa if you fly in from another country directly, regardless of your nationality. However, if you are taking a ferry from Vietnam, you must have a valid Vietnam visa to enter the island.

Phu Quoc boasts numerous pristine beaches like Long Beach (Bai Truong), Ong Lang Beach, and Sao Beach (Bai Sao), each offering its own charm, from serene relaxation to vibrant beachside activities. Beyond its beaches, the island is home to dense jungles, waterfalls, and nature reserves like Phu Quoc National Park. You'll find diverse flora and fauna, including rare wildlife. Snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing are popular due to the island's rich marine life. 

There are hundreds of resorts to choose from in Phu Quoc, most of them with private beaches and facilities that ensure you relax and unwind. All you have to do is grab a bike and explore the island's scintillating views and food. It is also one of the few places in Vietnam where you can legally gamble.

Regional Specialities in Phu Quoc Island

Phu Quok has two regional specialities – fish sauce and black pepper. Owing to its proximity to the sea, the catch is of high quality, which leads to a great production of fish oil on the island. Pepper is cultivated everywhere on the island. Pearl farming also began a few decades ago, and the island gets its alternate name ‘Pearl Island’ because of the presence of a large number of pearls in the sea surrounding it.
