Where to Stay in Phu Quoc Island
Phu Quoc Island has some distinctly different beach areas to choose from. There are actually about 10 different beaches, and the VietnamCoracle has an excellent guide to them all.
Out of all these beaches, the 4 most popular are as follows:
Long Beach is the main tourist area, and the longest beach on the island at 20km in length. Our favourite hotel at Long Beach is the Saigon Phu Quoc Resort and Spa.
Dai Beach is in the North West of the Island, and is the location of several high end resorts, a golf course and amusement park. VinPearl Phu Quoc is our pick of these resorts.
Ganh Dau Beach gets our vote for the best beach on Phu Quoc Island. We recommend you stay at the beautiful Gold Coast Resort to take advantage of this peaceful and secluded beach.Ong Lang Beach lies just to the north of Long Beach, also called Mango Beach. This is a beautiful beach with a few quieter resorts nearby, however it is undergoing a period of rapid development. Overall our favourite resort here, located about 400m from the main beach is Cottage Village.
