Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are within a short drive of the resort:

• Ong Lang Beach: Just steps from the resort, this quiet 5-kilometer stretch of powdery sand is far less crowded than Phu Quoc’s popular Long Beach. It’s perfect for slow morning walks, sunset swims, and sampling fresh grilled seafood from local beach shacks.
• Phu Quoc National Park: A 30-minute drive inland, this UNESCO-listed biosphere reserve covers more than half of the island. Explore dense tropical rainforest, hike to the peak of Mount Chúa for panoramic island views, and spot rare wildlife like silver langurs and hornbills.
• Coconut Prison: Located 25 minutes south of the resort, this historic site offers a sobering look at Vietnam’s colonial and war history, preserved as a memorial to the prisoners held here during the 20th century.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to March) when Phu Quoc’s dry weather draws the most visitors. Take advantage of the resort’s paid cultural tours to explore local fishing villages and pepper plantations, a staple of Phu Quoc’s agricultural heritage. Pack reef-safe sunscreen for snorkeling trips to protect the island’s fragile coral reefs, and ask the concierge to arrange a private night squid fishing trip for an unforgettable local experience. If you’re arriving by air, book the resort’s airport transfer in advance to avoid inflated taxi fares at Phu Quoc International Airport, which is roughly a 40-minute drive from the property.
