Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s largest island, lies in Kiên Giang Province and is a tropical paradise that feels worlds away from the mainland. Visitors are greeted with miles of palm-fringed white-sand beaches, turquoise bays, and a lush, jungle-clad interior. Adventure and relaxation abound: dive or snorkel vibrant coral reefs, kayak through secluded coves, cycle along scenic backroads, or hike through the majority of the island protected as a national park, teeming with wildlife. Phu Quoc is also famed for its local specialities, including fish sauce, black pepper, and the unique Phu Quoc hunting dogs, known for their ridged backs, curly tails, and striking blue tongues, adding a distinctive cultural touch to this idyllic island escape.
