PHU QUOC ISLAND

Home to a P.O.W camp holding 40,000 inmates during the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1972, Phu Quoc Island is now a haven for nature and sea lovers looking for a place to unwind. Trekking, diving, snorkeling and fishing are popular activities, and there are a number resorts offering relaxed dining and evening entertainment. Located off the tip of Vietnam’s south coast, the pristine sandy beaches of this laid-back island are reachable by boat from the Mekong Delta, or a 50 minutes flight from Saigon.
