Luxury Phu Quoc Holidays

Set in the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc is the largest of the Vietnamese islands and less developed than other parts of the country. While beaches beside its resorts offer lively bars and restaurants, the coastline is sprinkled with many that are serene and quite deserted. Closer to Cambodia than Vietnam, and with mountains, forests and sparkling waterfalls as well as soft white sands, it offers a wonderfully varied holiday.

Duong Dong is the largest town. It’s a great place to stroll and has a bustling market, temples, and shops selling crafts, pearls and pungent fish sauce. There is sure to be black pepper too, for the island is famed for its pepper plantations.

Much of Phu Quoc is a National Park and its verdant forests are home to many rare plants and animals. Their deepest depths provide shelter for endangered species such as Giant Flying Foxes, Silver Langurs and even Leopard Cats.
