Dubbed the “Sunshine Paradise,” Phu Quoc’s southern island area has surpassed famous destinations in the region, such as Phuket (Thailand) and Bali (Indonesia), to become the second most beautiful island in the world, only behind the Maldives, as recognized in Travel+Leisure’s 2024 The World’s Best Awards.

With its soft white sands and emerald green waters, Bai Kem beach was praised by the prestigious magazine as a must-visit destination and a “symbol of luxury” on the island, hosting some of the region’s top resorts.

In addition to its luxury resorts, Phu Quoc also impresses visitors with its unique attractions and outdoor adventures. Tourists can enjoy swimming, scuba diving, kayaking, and explore the island’s rich marine ecosystem.

Travel+Leisure emphasized: “As the hot summer months and rainy season pass, Phu Quoc enters its most beautiful time of the year, with stable temperatures around 30°C, perfect for all sightseeing and exploration activities.”

Notably, Phu Quoc’s visa-free policy for up to 30 days is seen as a “significant boost” in attracting more foreign tourists to the “Pearl Island.” This is an advantage that few other destinations in the region or around the world can offer.
