Phu Quoc Travel Guide
Why visit Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc is southern Vietnam's largest resort island, blessed with white-sand beaches and clear emerald water. Cross to Hòn Thơm on one of the world's longest sea cable cars, spend a day at VinWonders and its safari, and watch the sunset over the European-style Sunset Town. Just a 1-hour 45-minute direct flight from Bangkok—with a visa exemption for direct arrivals—it's a relaxed resort escape loved by families and couples alike.

North (Bãi Dài)
See products in this area
The northern part of the island is an entertainment belt where VinWonders, Grand World, and Vinpearl Safari are all clustered together. With massive integrated resorts lining the area, families with children can minimize travel time and spend the entire day immersed in the theme park and safari. Cap off your day with the stunning night views of Grand World, where Venetian gondolas glide through the canals.
How to explore this area
In the north, VinWonders, Vinpearl Safari, and Grand World are so close that you can move between them on foot or via free shuttle. Staying at a northern resort virtually eliminates transportation stress. We recommend visiting the safari in the morning when animals are most active, hitting the VinWonders rides and water park during the day, and heading to Grand World at sunset to enjoy the gondolas, the 'Tinh Hoa' show, and the night market. Electric carts are available within the complex, while the trip to the south takes about 40-50 minutes by car.

Good to know before you go
Three to four days suit Phu Quoc well. Get around by Grab, taxi or rental car, and bundle the cable car and 4-island tour into half- or full-day trips. The dry season from November to April brings the clearest seas, and arriving on a direct flight from Bangkok grants a 30-day visa exemption.
