Phu Quoc Holidays

While the tear-shaped island's coastline has almost non-stop beaches the longest stretch of sands is called, appropriately, Long Beach, which is on the western coast and is where the majority of hotels and resorts can be found. Its location on the west coast makes it the best place for sitting back with a cocktail and watching as the sun sets over the ocean. Other beaches include the beautiful peninsula of Cua Can, the peaceful Bai Dai Beach, Vung Bau Beach and Bai Vong Beach.

For divers and snorkellers much of the island's treasures are hidden below the clear blue waves, as the panorama is one of colourful corals and tropical fish. Along with the marine environment over 50% of the island has been given protected National Park status and limited walking trails are a great way to experience the natural splendour of mountain jungle and sparkling waterfalls.

The island is also dotted with picturesque fishing villages where regular bustling markets are held and offer a colourful range of fruit, vegetables, seafood and much more. Phu Quoc is also famed for the production of fish sauce and is, arguably, the best in the world! For a completely unique experience, it's possible to visit one of the many fish sauce distilleries in either Duong Dong or An Thoi towns.
