About the Port
Phu Quoc sits in the Gulf of Thailand off Vietnam's southern coast, its interior largely given over to forested hills and a national park that covers much of the northern island. Long known for producing fish sauce and pepper, the island has grown into a beach destination while retaining fishing villages such as Ham Ninh, where stilted houses line the shore.
Duong Dong, the main town, offers a lively night market within easy reach for travelers arriving by tender, its stalls selling fresh seafood and local crafts. Beyond town, quiet coves and long stretches of sand invite unhurried afternoons, while inland routes lead past pepper farms and fish sauce workshops that reveal the island's working traditions. Phu Quoc rewards visitors seeking coastal scenery paired with a genuine sense of place.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Phu Quoc.
Ride the Hon Thom Cable Car
One of the world's longest three-rope cable cars glides from An Thoi over turquoise water to Hon Thom island in about 15 minutes, offering sweeping views of the archipelago below.
Relax on Sao Beach
This crescent of powder-white sand and clear shallows on the southeast coast ranks among the island's finest; a taxi from the pier takes roughly 30-40 minutes, so plan for the round trip.
Snorkel the An Thoi Islands
Boat trips from the southern tip visit small islets with coral patches and calm coves, a easy half-day option for swimming and reef viewing beyond the main shoreline.
