Why you'll love it
Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island, in the Gulf of Thailand, with white-sand beaches, forested hills and sunset views over the sea. It scores 9 out of 10 for beaches, and 8 for romance and value, so it's a relaxed, affordable island holiday.
The best time to visit Phu Quoc is November to April, the dry season, with sunny skies and calm seas. Its rainy season, from around May to October, follows a different pattern from central Vietnam.
Long Beach on the west coast is known for its sunsets, and Sao Beach in the south has soft white sand. The Hon Thom cable car, nearly 8 kilometres long, crosses the sea to a nearby island with a beach and water park. Visit a pepper farm, and try the island's famous fish sauce and fresh seafood.
Phu Quoc suits couples, families and travellers wanting an easy beach break in Vietnam.
