Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island paradise in the Gulf of Thailand. It is often referred to as the "Pearl Island." The vibrant island has about 180,000 residents and is located 50 km south of the Cambodian coast, with Duong Dong as its main town. Phu Quoc features pristine white-sand beaches, pepper farms, and Phu Quoc National Park covering nearly half the island, fed by coral reefs and diverse marine life. In Vietnamese, "Phu Quoc" evokes its pearl-diving heritage and tropical allure.
Phu Quoc provides visitors access to the ultimate beach escape of southern Vietnam, where you can relax on powdery shores or by speedboat. Visitors experience traditional fishing culture alongside modern resorts and theme parks. Daytime offers endless sunshine for water sports; evenings feature beach bars and fire shows. Phu Quoc has excellent infrastructure, including luxury resorts (like JW Marriott) and seafood restaurants serving fresh catches (grilled squid, pepper crab, and nuoc mam fish sauce).
