Phu Quoc Island Travel Guide

Owning a pristine and charming natural beauty, the pearl island of Phu Quoc has developed in tourism and become an attractive spot in the map of the world.

A wild beauty

Sitting back in a hammock, looking out over the quiet surf, you may wonder why more people don’t know about Phu Quoc Island. It gets almost none of the press of those islands over in Thailand – and yet with its rugged jungle, squeaking white sands, and sparkling cobalt waters, it can more than match them. And though an unbroken beach stretches for almost the entire length of the island’s west coast, only a small path of it has been developed.
