Leading travel magazine Travel + Leisure recently praised Phu Quoc Island as “one of the new stars of Vietnam’s tourism”.
With that, Vietnam’s largest island ranks third in the list of 23 most worth visiting destinations in 2023 by Travel+Leisure (Asian edition).
Writer Shibani Bawa noted that Phu Quoc is increasingly drawn to more convenient air connections, giving visitors easy access to many destinations, not just Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi or Ha Long Bay.
Phu Quoc is “an enchanting place of white sand beaches, jade forests dotted with waterfalls, rock pools and caves”.
More than half of Phu Quoc’s area, also called the “Pearl Island”, is protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
The luxury resorts here are focused on sustainability, making it a haven for responsible travelers.
“The best souvenir is the island’s famous fish sauce. Buy this fish sauce from a traditional fishing village like Ham Ninh and don’t forget to enjoy the fresh seafood here,” recommends Travel+Leisure.
In addition to Phu Quoc, this list includes other well-known destinations with pristine ecosystems, scenic beauty or rich cuisine such as Alberta (Canada), AlUla (Saudi Arabia), Fukuoka (Japan), Malta, Lima (Peru), Jodhpur (Rajasthan), Manchester ( England), Alpbach (Austria)…
