Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions lie within easy reach of Kalia Hotel. First, Long Beach (Bãi Trường), the island’s most famous coastline, is just a two-minute walk from the property. Stretching for 15 kilometers, this soft white-sand beach is perfect for sunset strolls, swimming in calm warm waters, and sampling fresh grilled seafood from beachside shacks. Second, Phu Quoc National Park, a 40-minute drive inland, protects 10,000 hectares of protected tropical rainforest, with well-marked hiking trails leading to panoramic mountain viewpoints, hidden waterfalls, and opportunities to spot rare native wildlife including silver langurs and hornbills. Third, the Duong Dong Night Market, 25 minutes north by car, is the best place on the island to sample local street food, pick up handcrafted souvenirs, and buy affordable fresh pepper and fish sauce, Phu Quoc’s most famous exports.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to March) to secure courtyard or garden view rooms, as the private beach area fills up quickly. While the airport shuttle is a convenient paid option, ride-hailing apps like Grab also operate across Phu Quoc for cheaper local trips. Pack reef-safe sunscreen to protect both your skin and the island’s fragile coral reefs when swimming at the private beach, and bring comfortable walking shoes if you plan to hike in Phu Quoc National Park. Don’t skip the included breakfast at the hotel, which features both Vietnamese classics like pho and international options to suit every palate.
