Places to Visit on Phu Quoc

Twelve places worth knowing, from the southern reefs to the forest of the north.

Phu Quoc is about fifty kilometres from north to south, and its sights are spread around the whole island. Grouping them by area is the easiest way to plan your days and avoid hours on the road.

We group them three ways: the south — An Thoi, the islands, the cable car, Sunset Town and Sao Beach; Duong Dong and the west coast — the main town, the night market, Long Beach and Ong Lang; and the north — the national park, Starfish Beach and the big attractions around Ganh Dau. Each guide covers what to see, how to get there, practical tips and the tours that include it.

An Thoi Islands

The island-hopping and snorkelling heart of Phu Quoc

A scatter of small islands off the southern tip of Phu Quoc — Hon May Rut, Hon Mong Tay, Hon Gam Ghi, Hon Thom and their neighbours — with white beaches, shallow reefs and the clearest water around the island. Almost every boat tour comes here.

Sunset Town & the Kiss Bridge

A Mediterranean-style resort town built for the sunset

A colourful, purpose-built seafront town near An Thoi, with pastel houses, a clock tower and the Kiss Bridge — two arms that reach out over the sea and almost, but not quite, meet. Evening shows with fireworks draw crowds most nights.

Quiet coves north of town

A string of smaller, quieter beaches and rocky coves a short drive north of Duong Dong, backed by pepper gardens and forest, with boutique resorts and bungalows rather than big hotels.

Phu Quoc National Park

The forest that covers the north of the island

More than half of Phu Quoc is protected forest. The national park covers the hills of the north and centre, with forest streams such as Suoi Tranh, quiet roads to the north coast and the island’s highest peaks.

Planning your days

Give the south its own day (or two), the north another, and keep Duong Dong and Long Beach for evenings and beach time. Remember that the sea decides the boat trips: in the rainy season keep a flexible day for the islands, and swap to the east coast for swimming. Our travel guide has sample itineraries, and the best time to visit page explains the seasons.

Hop the southern islands, ride the cable car, stay for the sunset
