Bai Truong — Long Beach — is Phu Quoc's main resort beach on the western coast, a 20-kilometre strip of fine golden sand facing the Gulf of Thailand that is sheltered from monsoon winds and calm for swimming most of the year. The southern part of Long Beach retains a quiet, undeveloped character while the northern section towards Duong Dong town has the resort infrastructure, seafood restaurants, and sunset bars. Hotels on Long Beach are among the most sought-after in Vietnam for their combination of excellent beach, proximity to Phu Quoc town, and spectacular sunsets over the Gulf.
Quite possibly the most theatrical resort in Southeast Asia, the JW Marriott Phu Quoc is designed as a fictional 19th-century French university campus, complete with mock lecture halls, a "library" bar, and professors' rooms that are actually elaborate pool suites. The private Khem Beach is one of Vietnam's most beautiful, and the 10-pool complex ensures you never have to look hard for a sunlounger.
Fusion's all-inclusive spa philosophy — where spa treatments are included in the room rate and breakfast can be had anywhere, anytime — reaches its highest expression in this north-island property. Private pool villas face a deserted beach, the overwater bar floats in a lagoon, and the emphasis on wellness makes it one of the most restorative resorts in Vietnam.
A grand resort anchored by a stunning infinity pool complex and direct access to the best stretch of Long Beach. The InterContinental brand delivers impeccable service across its 459 rooms and villas, and the Club InterContinental floor with dedicated lounge and butler service represents exceptional value for the level of luxury provided.
A more intimate alternative on Long Beach, Salinda combines Vietnamese aesthetic sensibility with genuine luxury — teak-accented pool villas, a beachfront restaurant serving exceptional Vietnamese cuisine, and a spa that uses local ingredients from the island's forests. The sunset cocktail ritual on the beach terrace is one of Phu Quoc's great pleasures.
Occupying the entire tip of Mui Ong Doi cape, Premier Village's two-storey villas each have their own private pool and beachfront access — on one side the sunrise beach, on the other the sunset beach. It's a genuinely unique geography that no other resort in Vietnam can offer, and the family villas make it exceptional for multigenerational travel.
The pioneer of eco-conscious hospitality on Phu Quoc, Mango Bay has operated on Ong Lang Beach since before the resort boom and has remained faithful to its original vision: sustainably built bungalows in a tropical garden, no TVs, and a beach that attracts green turtles at night. It's the antidote to the island's growing excess.
