Phu Quoc is a rising star among Southeast Asia’s beach destinations

"Phu Quoc is a rising star among Southeast Asia’s beach destinations", noted Times of India. According to the publication, March is the best time to visit Phu Quoc, when the sea is calm, the waters shimmer in vibrant turquoise, and the golden sunshine is at its finest. Vietnam’s pearl island also boasts lively, colorful coral reefs, making it an exceptional destination for various diving experiences.

Notably, Phu Quoc’s most stunning beaches are concentrated in the southern part of the island, where travelers can find both tranquility and vibrant experiences. Kem Beach - one of the planet’s 50 most beautiful beaches - is famed for its emerald green waters and white sand as soft as gelato. Not far away, Sao Beach, often called Kem Beach’s twin, captivates visitors with its crescent-shaped, seven-kilometer stretch of powdery white sand. These two beaches are iconic symbols of Phu Quoc’s breathtaking natural beauty. Here, visitors can indulge in outdoor activities such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and beach volleyball or simply unwind on the pristine white sands, soaking in the island’s untouched charm.
