Sitting just off the southwest coast of Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc is home to some of Southeast Asia's most picturesque and quiet beaches. Part of an archipelago of 28 islands, Phu Quoc is an idyllic place to soak up the sun and there are 19 beaches for visitors to choose from.
Despite the island's remote feel, it is well equipped for those who wish to enjoy the finer things in life, with several highly recommended luxury hotels and villas. It's the ideal destination for a 'fly-and-flop' vacation and those wishing to soak up the sun away from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City. For the more active traveller, the Phu Quoc National Park offers some fabulous hiking routes and the Dinh Cau Night Market offers a dose of local culture.
The best time to visit Phu Quoc is between November and April. Direct flights operate daily from Ho Chi Minh City (1 hour each way).
Con Dao is the name of the largest of 16 islands which make up this stunning eponymous archipelago off Vietnam's south coast. Over 80% of the archipelago is protected and there's no lack of beautiful white sand beaches on Con Dao island to relax on, as well as scenic coves and unspoilt jungle to explore. The island is also home to a significant population of sea turtles and the snorkelling here is excellent. For those in need of serious barefoot luxury, the fabulous Six Senses Con Dao resort is the crème de la crème of the island’s accommodation.
The best time to visit Con Dao is between November and April. Direct flights operate daily from Ho Chi Minh City (approximately 45 minutes each way).
