Australians might default to Thailand for beach escapes, but Phu Quoc’s white sands and crystal-clear seas give it real competition—and fewer crowds.
When you’re not on powdery sand, diving on reefs around Hon Mot and Mango Bay, or lounging by the resort pool, there’s still plenty to do on the tropical Vietnamese island. Head out to the protected Phu Quoc National Park biosphere, walk among ancient trees, and spot hornbills and macaques. You’ll want to taste your way through it too—tour the pepper farms, sample the island’s famed fish sauce, and grab a table at Duong Dong’s night market for a seafood feast tiger prawns and coconut bún kèn. Whatever kind of stay you’re after in Phu Quoc, Traveloka makes it easy to find.
Where to stay in Phu Quoc
- Duong Dong: Right in the thick of it, this is Phu Quoc’s heart. Think late-night eats at local markets, tons of seafood stalls and a short stroll to the sea - and its beach bars. Stay here for a combo of local flavour and lively base.
- Long Beach: Long Beach delivers all you want from a laid-back beach stay: soft sand, sunset views and easygoing resorts. Stretched out along the west coast, it’s great for first-timers wanting easy access from the airport nearby.
- Ong Lang: Quieter than Long Beach but just as pretty, Ong Lang is dotted with boutique stays and yoga spots. It’s the go-to for couples or chill-seekers.
- An Thoi and Hon Thom: Submerge yourself into the wilds in Phu Quoc’s south. We; 're talking sandy coves, snorkelling tours and the world’s longest three-wire cable car. It’s a good pick for nature lovers.
- Ganh Dau: Close to VinWonders and safari parks, this area is best for families or those wanting big-resort energy and kid-friendly fun.

Tips for finding the perfect accommodation in Phu Quoc
- Filter by location and activities: Use Traveloka’s map and filters to match your stay to what you want to do - be that beach bars in Duong Dong or spa time in Long Beach.
- Lock things in early for the dry season: December to April is prime time for sun-seekers, so book ahead to nab better prices and beachfront real estate.
- Check for extras that make island life easier: A lot of stays throw in scooter hire or airport pick-up. Super handy if you’re eyeing the national park or southern snorkelling coves.
- Steer clear of Tet if you’re counting your dong: Lunar New Year (around Jan–Feb) sends prices through the roof. Aim just before or after for more room, and less cost.
- Look twice at what’s included: Does that cheap rate sound too good to be true? It might not cover breakfast or the pool. Scan the fine print to avoid surprise fees.
