Phu Quoc, Vietnam's largest island, sits in the Gulf of Thailand, closer to Cambodia than to mainland Vietnam. Long preserved by its isolation, it has seen rapid tourism development in recent years, while keeping much of its forest under national park protection.
Beaches and snorkeling
The southern beaches, notably Sao Beach, rank among the country's finest, while islets off the southern tip offer snorkeling reachable on a day trip.
National park and fishing
More than half the island is protected national park, a rare amount of forest cover for a beach destination of this size in Southeast Asia.
Phu Quoc has its own international airport, with direct flights from several Asian cities; the best season runs November to March, as the southwest monsoon soaks the island the rest of the year.
