The island of Phu Quoc is one of Asia’s least developed beach destinations. The island’s clear waters, undiscovered beaches, forested interior and charming local character make for an ideal holiday escape. In general, dining and entertainment is confined to the resorts and while the lack of infrastructure may frustrate some travelers for most visitors this is one of Phu Quoc’s attractions.
Access: Phu Quoc Island is located to the southwest of the Mekong Delta in close proximity to Cambodia. Flights from Ho Chi Minh City take 1-hour, and flights from the southern Mekong Delta Town of Rach Gia take 40-minutes.
Activities in the area: Phu Quoc is a snorkeling and diving paradise. Outlying islands and reefs make for fascinating exploration for either a half or full day trips. In the centre of the island are tropical forests, perfect for day hikes. Vietnam’s favorite ingredient Nuoc Nam (Fish Sauce), can be found here in abundance and a visit to a local factory is a must.
