Phu Quoc is one of the top beach destinations in Vietnam: Fringed with white-sand beaches and with large tracts still cloaked in a dense tropical jungle, it rapidly morphed from a sleepy island backwater to a must-visit beach escape for Western ex-pats and sun-seeking tourists. Beyond the resorts lining Long Beach, rapid development beginning on the east coast, and mega resorts in sight of Sao Beach, there’s still ample room for exploration and escaping the sometimes littered waters. Dive the reefs, kayak in the bays, eat up the back-road kilometers on a motorbike, or just lounge on the beach, followed by a massage and a fresh seafood dinner.
