Phu Quoc Island is one of the most popular destinations in Vietnam and a Vietnam Tour Package Itinerary.
Vietnam’s largest island is attracting a lot of attention nowadays. Phu Quoc Island lies 40km off the coast of the southern Vietnamese mainland, drawing in tourists from around the country and beyond with a beautiful selection of pristine beaches. Life around Phu Quoc tends to move at a very lazy pace, one that can give visitors from Ho Chi Minh City a bit of a shock upon arrival.
Where to stay in Phu Quoc Island
Over 10 fabulous powder-white sand coves comprise one of the best Vietnam beach destinations and a crucial stop on a Vietnam beach holiday. As its popularity grows, more people are asking where to stay in Phu Quoc Island, a question that is difficult to answer given its 575 km2 area. In this article, we split the answer into the island’s top four beaches and list our suggested Phu Quoc hotels that cover every budget. For solo time, couple time, family time or even business meetings, these hotels and resorts on the magical Phu Quoc Island will have you covered.
In the 20km strip of white sand that comprises Long Beach, Phu Quoc Island’s best accommodation options find a home. This beach is the closest one to the airport, providing the utmost convenience but avoiding the disruption of peace by being situated just far enough away. Big hotel development has seen large sections of the beach claimed for private use, which will be yours to do with as you wish if staying at such an establishment. Those who simply want to visit Long Beach can still do so in seclusion, as the fringes of this long stretch of coast still offer untouched nature in abundance.
The vibrant tones of the Sea Star Resort Phu Quoc can be seen across the walls of its bungalows, which are situated on either the direct beachfront or just behind within a verdant garden. Rooms are very well-lit and contain quaint wooden furniture, all within a detached or semi-detached dwelling. The balcony or terrace in each room is made of cool redbrick and ceramic tiles, looking out onto a beautiful stretch of beach with arching palm trees creating many fluttering spots of shade.

The most attractive trait of Phu Quoc Greenland is that it’s one of the few accommodation options in Phu Quoc’s northwestern corner without the word ‘Vin’ slapped on the front. This independent hotel has a simple but attractive wooden set-up, dwarfed by the steel skyscrapers of its Vingroup neighbours but containing much in the way of character through humble thatched-roof huts centred around a gorgeous swimming pool. This is a fantastic and cheap hotel near Long Beach, perfect for families looking for the convenience of the Vingroup attractions but without the price tag.
Address: Long Beach, Phu Quoc
If you’re looking for that wild and windswept vibe, then the Saigon Phu Quoc Resort & Spa may be the perfect Phu Quoc accommodation for you. A thick forest of stretching palm trees separates this 4-star resort from the beach, creating a lush scene with the unhampered beach rolling out into the ocean in front. The comfortable and spacious accommodation is the name of the game here, with placid decorations and beautiful terraces, while the gorgeous Beach Bar is the place to be in the evening when the ocean twinkles in the moonlight, mere feet away from your bar stool.

From mid-price and up, Vinpearl essentially has this part of the market cordoned off. One of its mid-range options is the VinOasis Phu Quoc, a grand 4-star hotel with a contemporary design at its core. Wonderfully chic interiors make it hard to leave for the paradise of the beach or the attractions of Vinpearl Land nearby, while the unique architecture of the outside makes for an attractive home to return to after your time on Long Beach, lying at the back of the resort.

As far as luxury goes, the Sol Beach House Phu Quoc is reaching the upper echelons with its incredibly well-designed rooms and the excellent facilities to be found around this luxury Phu Quoc resort.

Rooms are dressed in a fresh teal colour scheme and are highly modern, with elevated balconies throughout looking at the luxurious scenes from above.

A statuesque piece of beachfront accommodation in Phu Quoc Island, the Vinpearl Resort & Spa Phu Quoc offers a stress-free holiday with gargantuan swimming pool and direct access to the middle section of Dai Beach’s long stretch of sand. As with most Vingroup buildings, the façade isn’t much to look at, but the interior is decked with classy accommodation options, ranging from highly elegant pool view rooms to incredibly spacious villas, coming with lake or ocean views. All furniture and fittings are exceedingly ornate and delivered in typical and classical European style.
Address: Long Beach, Phu Quoc
Vung Bai Beach finds itself in an advantageous spot, far enough from Long Beach to avoid the same crowding yet close enough to enjoy the same convenience. This strip of golden sand is shaped like a fisherman’s hook, requiring a walk through some untamed bushland to reach. Spent your best time to visit Phu Quoc by adding this site to your bucket list!
Attractive redbrick and stone buildings lend a lovely character to the Vung Bau Beach Resort, one of Phu Quoc’s budget resorts with terraces and statuesque pillars offering a French colonial spin. Rooms situated within the verdant but slightly unkempt garden go for a really great price, while beachfront villas with space for families aren’t much more expensive. You’ll find every basic amenity you need inside and a bunch of fun activities outside, including kayaking, fishing and snorkelling, all for a maximum price of $5 per day.

Choose from a great range of secluded beach huts at the Bamboo Cottages & Restaurant, providing mid-range villa accommodation in Phu Quoc with a wealth of comfortable amenities within. Each room has a distinct character and name to match it, with gorgeous wooden features spanning a range of styles from Scandinavian to Vietnamese. The furthest option here is a strenuous 15 metres from the beach, but if that is somehow too far for you, then you can opt to relax on the wooden or tiled terraces that constitute the back of every villa.

One of the more unique of Phu Quoc’s beachfront accommodation selection is the Nam Nghi Resort, mostly due to its location on a small, dangly appendage of land between Vung Bau and Dai beaches. This means that the Nam Nghi Resort is one of the only options on Phu Quoc with turquoise waters on all sides, as well as a beautiful rocky coast with several private beaches within the resort itself. With a gorgeous swimming pool and several fine dining options, the sleek and contemporary rooms possess an incredible comfort, perfect for those seeking quiet Phu Quoc accommodation in a truly remote spot.

The trip to the northern coast of Ganh Dau from Phu Quoc airport is an arduous one, but fruitfully rewarded with one of the best beaches and, by extension, best beach accommodation in Phu Quoc. Ganh Dau has been largely left to its own devices during Phu Quoc’s development, considered too far away for most tourists to bother with, but visitors to the island who do take the 1-hour drive from the airport will find a smattering of cheap hotels, good restaurants and most importantly, a phenomenal beach.
Its sand is some of the finest on the island and the languid island atmosphere that once encompassed the whole of Phu Quoc can still be found here. Incredible Asia Journeys offer many Phu Quoc tours, contact us now to plan your trip!

As luxury hotels are yet to make their way to Ganh Dau Beach, all accommodation choices here are cheap but very well-equipped for your stay. One such recommended Phu Quoc hotel, lying on its northern shores, is the Hula Hula Beachfront Phu Quoc, comprised of comfortable and open villas, each looking onto the pool, garden or views of the ocean. Hoi An-style lanterns give the décor a touch of Vietnamese beauty, with slanted tiled roofs and ornate wooden fittings adding to the feel. The one downside to this resort is that the beach is located slightly further afield, but management has tried to make amends by offering a quaint manufactured sandy area that overlooks the sea.

It may require a second glance to believe it’s real, but the JW Marriot Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort and Spa is both a mouthful and an eyeful. This is pretty much the only accommodation option for Kem Beach, an often overlooked beach with a trove of natural beauty to boast, including white sand, a forested hill on one side and a background of stretching tropical trees.
JW Marriot Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort and Spa
A few hotels have big plans for this stretch of sand, but at the moment, the heavenly JW Marriot is one of the only ones and offers the only true luxury accommodation on Phu Quoc Island. The rooms contain a modern decadence and some overtly opulent flourishes, with even the most affordable room providing far more than the discerning traveller requires. The most expensive room runs at 30,000,000 VND ($1290 USD) per night and really has to be seen to be believed.
