BAI SAO PHU QUOC, VIETNAM


Phu Quoc island is blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam



Phu Quoc Island is situated in the Gulf of Thailand, near the Cambodia border. Heavily forested mountains and white sandy beaches make it a perfect relaxation spot in Southern Vietnam. The most accessible and one of the most attractive is Truong Beach, stretching for nearly 20 km from Dinh Cau to Khoe Tau Ru.



Another one is Bai Khem Beach which is at the south-east part of the island. This is in a military area but you are allowed to visit, ask at your hotel beforehand. Phu Quoc island is blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam.



There are 99 mountains on the 22-island archipelago, all low and covered by a canopy of green that evokes a refreshing feeling as we plunge into the forest. Phu Quoc Island has many harbors such as An Thoi and Hon Thom where international and domestic ships anchor. Also, there are several historical sites on the island: National Hero Nguyen Trung Truc’s military base, Gia Long King relics from the time he spent on the island, and Phu Quoc prison. Come and explore this new destination and enjoy some of the best beaches in the country


Phú Quốc is the largest island in Vietnam. The island is part of Kiên Giang province, has a total area of 574 square kilometres and a permanent population of approximately 85,000. The district of Phú Quốc includes the island proper and 21 smaller islets.



One of Vietnam’s star attractions, mountainous and forested Phu Quoc is a splendid tropical getaway set with beautiful white-sand beaches and quaint fishing villages. Adventure comes in many forms here – from motorbiking the empty dirt roads circling the island to sea kayaking its quiet inlets, scuba diving the coral reefs or simply having a bang-up seafood meal followed by a cocktail on the beach.



Once a sleepy, backpackers’ retreat, Phu Quoc has ramped up tourism significantly, and visitors can now choose between five-star resorts and rustic family-run bungalows. Plans are underway for developing the island even more heavily – a la Phuket style. If package tourism isn’t your bag, get there now before this happens.
