The island
Looking for a local recommendation? We live here.
This is the guide we send our own friends, with honest answers to the things people ask us most.
The island
Where everything is.
Phu Quoc is about 50km from top to bottom, and almost everything you will want is on the west coast, where the sun goes down. Our houses sit in four places along it.
Sunset Sanato and Sonasea sit on Long Beach, minutes apart, with the night market, the shops and King Kong Mart between them. The Sailing Club resort is further south, quieter, with its own gates and pools. And Sunset Town is right at the southern tip, where the cable car and the evening shows are.
Not sure which suits your trip? Ask us, we will tell you honestly.

Drawn to orient you rather than to navigate by. Every house is on the island’s west coast, where the sun sets.
Where to stay
Four neighbourhoods, four different trips.
The island is 50km from top to bottom, so where you stay really shapes your trip. Each of our houses belongs to its neighbourhood on purpose.
Resort quarter, private gates
Sailing Club Signature Resort
The Sailing Club Signature Resort quarter, the long bay, the beach clubs, restaurants that deliver to the villa door. Our villas here keep their own gates and pools, with the resort's gym, main pool and spa included in every stay.
The night market neighbourhood
Sonasea Phu Quoc
A neighbourhood people actually live in. The night market, cafés, spas and boutiques are steps away, the beach a few minutes' walk, the airport seven minutes by car. Vibrant, safe, walkable, taxis around the clock.
The sunset beach, with a resort around it
Sunset Sanato
Phu Quoc's most famous sunset beach, inside a resort with a waterpark, spa, beach bar and kids' club. The light at six in the evening is the reason the whole island drives here.
Stay here: Azula
The Mediterranean-style south
Sunset Town · An Thới
Phu Quoc's coastal village in the island's south, colourful facades, seaside cafés, the Kiss Bridge, the cable car to Hòn Thơm, and fireworks over the water on show nights.
Stay here: Elements Apartments
Eat
The night market, Sonasea
Come hungry, and come more than once. Grilled seafood by weight, and the mango sticky rice at the far end.
Sailing Bay's beach kitchens
Feet in the sand, fish on the fire, sunset included. No booking needed, just walk in.
An Thới harbour phở, early
The south's fishing crowd eats here before seven. Best breakfast on the island, cheapest too.
Do
The southern islands by boat
The snorkelling here really is as good as it looks in the photos. We arrange the good boats, just ask.
The cable car from An Thới
Eight kilometres over the sea. Worth taking just for the ride, even if you do not stay on the far side.
Sunset at Sunset Sanato
The best part of the island's day. Come by six, order something cold, and put your phone away.
Short lists on purpose, everything here is somewhere we’d go this week. Last checked July 2026. For the longer version, tuned to your trip, ask Nina.
When to come
Experience the island life: beautiful sunsets, tropical showers and the occasional little gecko.
November, April
The dry season. Blue mornings, calm sea, and the island at its very best. Book early, this is the season everyone wants.
May, October
The green season. The rain arrives quickly and leaves just as fast, prices are softer, and between the showers the island feels like yours. We honestly love this time of year.
Any season
The sunsets are beautiful all year round, the seafood is always good, and the pool is always the right temperature.
