Eschuri Vung Bau – Phu Quoc

The best time to visit

Southern Phu Quoc has two distinct seasons, the dry and the rainy season. The ideal time to visit is from November to April, which is the dry season in the south of Vietnam.

During this time, there is little rain, calm seas, gentle waves and warm sunshine, perfect for outdoor activities. For the remaining months, the eastern coast of the southern island, including Bai Sao and Bai Kem beaches, becomes the ideal choice for a peaceful getaway.

Getting to southern Phu Quoc

Southern Phu Quoc is about a 30-minute drive from Phu Quoc International Airport. Most resorts in the area offer private cars or scheduled buses to pick up guests. Alternatively, taxis are available, costing approximately VND300,000 (US$12).

It's also about a 45-minute drive from Duong Dong town, with taxis costing around VND400,000 ($16). Recently, Sun Group launched a double-decker bus service with tickets priced at VND100,000 ($4) per trip.

Beautiful natural features

Bai Kem and Bai Sao beaches boast fine white sand and crystal-clear waters, perfect for families to swim and engage in water sports, including kayaking, banana boat rides and speed boating.

The An Thoi archipelago is home to vibrant coral reefs spread across various islands, hosting a rich diversity of marine life, making it a perfect spot for diving enthusiasts. Some of the best places to view coral include Hon Thom, May Rut Trong and May Rut Ngoai.

Tours to three islands start at $30 per person, and small-group diving tours begin at $50 per person. Those who can't dive or swim, can try sea walking at Eco Beach on Hon Thom Island.

All-day and night entertainment hub

Hon Thom Island is the entertainment hub in southern Phu Quoc, featuring Aquatopia - Asia's leading water park, and Exotica Village, home to Moc Xa Thinh No - Viet Nam's first and only wooden roller coaster. Visitors can reach Hon Thom via the world's longest three-wire cable car ride.

In addition, Sunset Town in the southern Phu Quoc offers romantic European-style streets designed in a terraced format descending toward the sea. In the evening, there will be performances at the A Oi Theater, featuring Vietnamese folk art, and the Kiss of the Sea^[2] show staged at the world's largest sea-based theatre.

Toward the end of the year, the Symphony of the Sea show will be launched, featuring a thrilling combination of Jetski and Flyboard performances. This show will bring together over 120 athletes and performers and incorporate Vietnamese cultural elements, including festival drums, lion dances and vibrant fireworks.

The seaside VUI-Fest bazaar also becomes an unmissable destination. Over 50 stalls open up a food paradise, offering dishes ranging from Vietnamese cuisine to other Asian and European specialities.
