Take a vacation at Vietnam's hidden famous resort “Phu Quoc Island”! Recommended places and activities
Nguyen Rona
We will introduce basic information and recommended ways to spend time on the southern Phu Quoc Island (Phu Quoc), one of Vietnam's resort destinations.
Phu Quoc Island, a resort in southern Vietnam
Vietnam's largest island, Phu Quoc Island, located off the coast of Cambodia in southern Vietnam, is famous for its beautiful beaches.
Phu Quoc Island has Phu Quoc International Airport and is easily accessible by air.
The number of international flights is limited, but you can get around quickly on domestic flights in Vietnam, and we recommend switching to domestic flights from major cities.
For example, you can arrive in 1 hour from Ho Chi Minh and 2 hours from Hanoi.
On Phu Quoc Island, you can enjoy delicious food and scenery while relaxing at a beachfront hotel, or enjoy marine activities. You can have the best vacation.
Best season in Phu Quoc Island
Phu Quoc IslandIt is divided into 3 seasons: the dry season from November to April, the rainy season from June to October, and the summer season from April to May.
The best season is November to April, which is the dry seasonThat's it. There is little rain during the dry season, and the temperature is just under 30 degrees, making it very easy to spend time.
It's also a perfect time to spend time at the beach.
Recommended activities in Phu Quoc Island
You can enjoy a variety of activities on Phu Quoc Island, but since it's an island, beach activities are still a staple.
There are also places with white sand beaches, so it's nice to take pictures and swim and snorkel in the beautiful sea. The coral reefs look beautiful.
Phu QuocIt is divided into 3 main areas: North, Central, and South, and the characteristics vary slightly depending on the area.
If you want to enjoy the ocean, go to the north and south of Phu Quoc Island!
Anyway, if you want to enjoy marine activities, it's the northern or southern area, but since resort hotels are spread out in the northern part, tourists are mainly in the northern part.
There are few people at Vung Bau Beach (Vung Bau), and in addition, it is very beautiful and recommended for swimming. It seems that it got its name because it has the shape of a crescent moon.
Sao Beach (Sao Beach) in the south is also famous, and is relatively well known among tourists.
The white sand beach is very beautiful and is said to be the most beautiful in Phu Quoc Island. It was so beautiful that I just wanted to take a picture. Activities such as canoeing can also be enjoyed.
There are also many sea activity tours such as snorkeling, etc., and if you search for “Phu Quoc snorkeling” etc. on the internet, many tours will come up.
Please choose what you like and what suits your schedule and apply.
If you want to enjoy yourself at a theme park, head to Vinpearl Land in northern Phu Quoc!
There are also large entertainment facilities on Phu Quoc Island. In the northern part, there is a large amusement park called “Vinpearl Land.”
Vinpearl Land has plenty of entertainment such as amusement parks, aquariums, safaris, water parks, etc., so you won't get bored even if you spend a day.
Safaris includeMore than 3,000 animals were raised when the park first opened, and it seems that rare animals can also be seen.
There are also rides and game centers for children, so children can play to their heart's content.
It's nice that guests staying at the neighboring hotel “Vinpearl Phu Quoc Resort” can play at Vinpearl Land for free.

Don't miss the longest ropeway in the world!
The south also has another Guinness certified longest ropeway in the world.A 7.899 km ropeway connecting the southern tip of Phu Quoc - Hon Loi Island - Hon Dua Island - Hong Thom Island.
It may be a little scary, but you can move around while slowly enjoying the beautiful scenery. After getting off the ropeway, there is a huge theme park “Sun World Hontom Nature Park.”
There are also beach activities and a water park, which families can enjoy very much.
A buffet lunch is also available. It seems that “Sunworld Hontom Nature Park” also has shuttle buses from major hotels and beaches.
Indulge in local food at night markets in central Phu Quoc Island!
What I recommend on Phu Quoc Island, where the ocean is beautiful, is seafood cuisine. You can enjoy lots of fresh seafood.
We especially recommend eating and walking at the “Phu Quoc Night Market” in central Phu Quoc Island. You can easily get around from the main lodging area by taxi.
You can eat lots of crabs, shrimp, shellfish, etc. It can also be used as a snack for alcoholic beverages.
Vietnam is a tropical country, and there are plenty of fruits to pick, so there are plenty of fruits and juices in the market. It seems like you'll also be able to find something sweet, such as ice cream.
It seems to be very crowded with many people every day, and being able to enjoy the fun local atmosphere is one of the best things about the market.
Enjoy your favorite food and drink as much as you like!

Recommended souvenirs from Phu Quoc Island
If you go on a trip to Phu Quoc Island, the recommended souvenirs are Phu Quoc specialty pepper, nukumam (fish sauce), and sim wine (“Rượu Sim” in Vietnamese). Pepper is a specialty of Phu Quoc and can be purchased at supermarkets.
Nukumam is a seasoning commonly used in Vietnamese cuisine, but since Phu Quoc is a famous production area, it's a good idea to buy it here.
However,The smell of nukumam is very strong, so bringing it into hotels and airplanes is strictly restricted, so it seems that there are many patterns such as shipping it to your home when you buy it.
Sim wine seems to indicate the European plant “sim,” and it is a mixed wine with beautiful pink flowers. It tastes like a sweet dessert wine and is very easy to drink.
Both have factories, but they can also be purchased at night markets and supermarkets, so be sure to keep an eye out when walking around town!
Other than that, not limited to Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam is famous for chocolate, coffee, coconut crackers, etc.
There are also lots of cute miscellaneous goods with an Asian taste, so be sure to check them out as well!
Enjoy the ultimate pampering time at a 5-star hotel on Phu Quoc Island
Finally, Nguyen Lona's best hotel is in Phu Quoc.
I have spent 1 night at the 5-star hotel “Salinda Resort Phu Quoc” and the location and hospitality were very nice.
Phu Quoc is a resort area, so I'm sure there are many other great hotels.
However, since I myself stayed at “Salinda Resort Phu Quoc” and was very satisfied, I will now introduce a little bit about this hotel.
Salinda's most recommended points are that you can enjoy the private beach and pool, and the breakfast buffet is so luxurious and delicious!
Right in front of the hotel, there is a beach with a wonderful view, so you can play freely. Since it's a private beach, it's not crowded, and it's a nice point that you can play freely.
There is also a swimming pool on the way back to the hotel side, so you can swim there or take a nap on a beach chair. It's also great to be able to relax at your own pace.
Breakfast was at a large buffet venue, and it was a blissful time to eat a seafood menu, beautiful Western food, and freshly baked bread while listening to live piano music.
You can also enjoy sparkling wine in the morning. There are several other types of dining rooms, and each has different characteristics, but look at the photos and they are all wonderful, so be sure to check out the website alone (lol)
My stay at Salinda Resort Phu Quoc was truly a wonderful time as if it were a treat.
When I checked in, a welcome drink and welcome sweets and messages were included in the room, and I was very moved by the spirit of hospitality.
It's also included in world-renowned awards and TripAdvisor's Best of the Year, and it's a truly proven track record, perfect for weddings and honeymoons.

This concludes my introduction to Phu Quoc tourist information.
How was it? It's the perfect place when you want to enjoy a vacation in a place with a good view.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday in Phu Quoc!
