Located in the Gulf of Thailand, 45km west of Ha Tien and 15km south of the coast of Cambodia, Phu Quoc Island is bordered with white-sand beaches and with large tracts still covered in dense, tropical jungle. It has been quickly changing itself from a sleepy backwater to a perfect seaside escape spot for Western expats and sun-seeking tourists. With its gleaming sands, swaying palms, sparkling and limpid waters and glamorous coastal getaways, Phu Quoc challenges Nha Trang as Vietnam’s top beach destination.
