Phu Quoc Island, located in Vietnam's Kien Giang Province, is equivalent to China's Hainan Island. It lies at Vietnam's southernmost tip, relatively close to Cambodia's Sihanoukville. Development only began in 2016. It boasts some of Vietnam's finest beaches, turquoise lakes, swaying palm trees, and powdery white sands. It lacks the crowds of Nha Trang and, due to its abundant pearl production, is known as the "Pearl Island." It is Vietnam's largest island.
Here you can taste the special seafood, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and engage in various water entertainment activities.
Phu Quoc is located in the southwest of Vietnam, far away from the land, and is suitable for tourism all year round.
