15. Ông Lang Beach, Phu Quoc
Also a fine white sandy beach, however, the Ông Lang Beach in Phu Quoc is not very attractive to many domestic tourists. The Ông Lang area is located in the northwest of Phu Quoc Island, about 7km from Duong Dong town. Due to its proximity to Duong Dong town, many foreign tourists come here to relax and swim.
The Ông Lang area has many hotels and resorts with spacious, quiet spaces, suitable for a leisure trip rather than a sightseeing tour of Phu Quoc. As it is relatively far from the center of Duong Dong town, if you stay at a hotel near Ông Lang Beach, you may incur additional charges for transportation in Phu Quoc day tours.
This Phu Quoc tourist spot is not continuous but interspersed with rocky areas among the sandy beaches. Although not as beautiful as Sao Beach, Khem Beach, not as crowded as Truong Beach, Ông Lang Beach still has its own charm with its smooth golden sand gently sloping into the sea, and the sea water has a rare emerald blue color.
Ông Lang Beach is also one of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset in Phu Quoc, especially the rocky area near Mango Bay resort becomes particularly attractive at sunset. The best sea season is from around November to April, which is when this Phu Quoc tourist spot attracts many visitors.
Along the coast of this Phu Quoc tourist spot, there are many green grassy areas stretching hundreds of meters along with shady trees, making it ideal for picnics with family and friends. You can buy seafood from Duong Dong market, rent a grill and charcoal at the beach, then swim, eat grilled seafood. In addition, the wide sandy beach is also a place to play beach games like volleyball, soccer, etc.
If you go on a 3-day 2-night Phu Quoc tour, Cuồng du lịch thinks you probably won’t get to visit this Phu Quoc tourist spot because the road is not very convenient. But if you go on a 4-day 3-night Phu Quoc tour, you will definitely get to visit this Phu Quoc tourist spot. Why? Because it is on the way to the northern part of Phu Quoc Island.
16. Phu Quoc Casino
When it comes to the route to the northern island, Cuong Travel would like to introduce to you one of the most popular tourist destinations in Phu Quoc that many tourists are interested in right now, which is Phu Quoc Casino. The full and most accurate name of Phu Quoc Casino is Corona Phu Quoc Island Cơ Duyen Casino.
This is the only and first dual entry in Vietnam that allows Vietnamese people to enter and play. However, if you want to visit this Phu Quoc tourist destination, you will have to pay an entrance fee of 1 million VND per person and must provide financial proof to be approved for entry to visit here.
This Phu Quoc tourist destination has recently generated mixed reactions from the online community. Ultimately, it is also because of the 1 million VND entrance fee.
Many people believe that anyone who goes to Phu Quoc tourist destination, Phu Quoc Casino, loses 1 million VND without even playing. Some even say that casinos around the world do not charge entrance fees to customers, provide free food and accommodation, free transportation, and even VIP guests get free plane tickets. However, Phu Quoc Casino has to charge an entrance fee, so it has also received some opposing comments from the online community, even though the Corona Phu Quoc Casino has announced that the money collected from this entrance fee contributes entirely to the budget of Kien Giang province.
In Phu Quoc tours, you may not be able to visit this Phu Quoc tourist destination, but only pass by on the route to visit other Phu Quoc tourist destinations. Because going on a Phu Quoc tour is about exploring nature, if you spend the whole day playing at Phu Quoc Casino, what else can you explore. So, this Phu Quoc tourist destination, Corona Casino, is only suitable for tourists who travel to Phu Quoc for independent relaxation.
17. Phu Quoc pearl farming facility
Phu Quoc pearl is a gift from the ocean. Phu Quoc pearls are famous worldwide for their top-quality pearls. The pearl farming and display facilities are now open for visitors to explore freely.
Therefore, in recent years, these Phu Quoc tourist spots have also become popular destinations on the island.
Phu Quoc pearls have been researched and recognized by experts as one of the most beautiful pearls in the world. Pearls are the only jewelry formed from a living object. Therefore, pearls are believed to be the soul of the ocean. The pearl always has life inside. When the wearer understands and loves the pearl, it becomes shinier and more beautiful. From a biological perspective, the radiance of the pearl brings unique value and class.
In addition to immersing in the world of pearls, visitors can see and touch the sparkling pearls. Tourists can also visit pearl farming facilities to see the pearl farming process in Phu Quoc. Currently, there are many pearl production facilities on Phu Quoc Island. Renowned with names like Ngoc Hien, Quoc An, Long Beach, etc., visitors have the opportunity to visit and buy beautiful pearls as gifts.
In most Phu Quoc tours, the itinerary usually includes a visit to this Phu Quoc tourist spot for exploration, so for women who want to buy a beautiful pearl while traveling to Phu Quoc, just bring your husband or partner to these pearl farming facilities.
18. Hon Roi
If you have ever been on a one-day tour to explore the South Island of Phu Quoc, fishing, diving, and coral watching, you must have heard of Hon Roi. This tourist destination has many beautiful corals close to the shore.
But in this video, Cuong Du Lich does not introduce Hon Roi from the perspective of a diving spot, but wants to show you a new angle of Hon Roi, which is climbing the mountain to conquer Hon Roi.
Cuong Du Lich was fortunate enough to experience a journey to explore climbing Hon Roi, and must admit that it was extremely exciting. The Phu Quoc mountain climbing tour to Hon Roi is not yet offered by Phu Quoc tour companies. Cuong Du Lich was organized by a group of brothers and sisters in the ecological conservation group in Phu Quoc to experiment with this Phu Quoc tour to see if it could be implemented for Phu Quoc tourists or not. And the truth is that the feeling of climbing Hon Roi is indescribable, because there are not many trails at this Phu Quoc tourist destination. The guys here have only been on the ground a few times and have just cleared the area, so it feels like you are trekking through the forest, very interesting.
After reaching the top of Hon Roi, looking down at the surrounding sea, it is an extremely vast space, the blue color of the sea is very refreshing, no matter how tired you are, receiving such a reward is truly priceless. If you want to explore Hon Roi, you can rent a car to An Thoi port and then rent a small boat to Hon Roi, from there you can conquer the journey to explore this newly emerging Phu Quoc tourist destination.
19. Sunset Sanato
Not too far from Duong Dong town
A beachfront café that has become popular recently but is a must-visit spot for many young travelers when visiting Phu Quoc. This place is most crowded at sunset because Sunset Sanato Phu Quoc is known as the best spot to watch the sunset on the island.
The entrance fee to this Phu Quoc tourist spot is 70,000 VND per person on weekdays, and on weekends there are usually cultural performances, so the ticket price is 100,000 VND. It seems that most visitors come here mainly to enjoy the scenery, rather than swim or drink coffee. But when visiting this Phu Quoc tourist spot, ladies should wear colorful long maxi dresses, which seems appropriate.
Sunset Sanato is close to the Long Beach area, about 7km from Duong Dong town, so if you are traveling to Phu Quoc on your own, you can take a taxi to get to this tourist spot. If you are on a package tour to Phu Quoc, make sure to request a visit to this spot, as it is often overlooked in the 3 days 2 nights Phu Quoc tour due to time constraints.
20. Phu Quoc Pepper Farm
Phu Quoc pepper is famous everywhere for its spiciness, round seeds, glossy appearance, and plumpness. Therefore, in the itinerary of many Phu Quoc tours, visitors often visit Phu Quoc pepper gardens to explore and take photos. Many pepper gardens have opened their doors to guests in a very professional and thorough manner, becoming a popular tourist destination in Phu Quoc. In Phu Quoc pepper gardens, some places will introduce tourists to the process of growing pepper, harvesting pepper, and processing pepper.
Phu Quoc tourists often stop by Phu Quoc pepper gardens before the end of their Phu Quoc tour to buy pepper as gifts. The price of pepper here that Cuong travel sees is not cheap at all, many people traveling to Phu Quoc think that this is a place where pepper is grown so pepper should be very cheap. Not at all, my friends. In Phu Quoc, although it is a place where pepper is grown, the pepper is a specialty, pure, without mixing impurities, so the price will be higher than the pepper we buy elsewhere, which is usually ground with stems to mix. The price of pepper in Phu Quoc is around 280,000 VND/kg.
Therefore, many tourists traveling to Phu Quoc buy pepper, try it, and then nod in recognition of why Phu Quoc pepper is a specialty, and it is easy to understand why the Phu Quoc pepper garden tourist destination is crowded with visitors.
21. Phu Quoc sim wine base
People in Phu Quoc have long known the benefits of the sim fruit in aiding digestion. Being an island, seafood consumption is high, so occasional indigestion is common. Then, by chance, Mr. Bay Gao, the owner of the Bay Gao sim wine store, created a drink that not only nourishes the body but also aids in digestion for himself and those around him.
Over time, Phu Quoc has developed into a tourist paradise, attracting more and more visitors, making the benefits of this sim wine known to many. Now, in any Phu Quoc tour itinerary, a visit to this Phu Quoc tourist destination is a must: the Phu Quoc sim wine production facility.
There are 3 sim wine production facilities that Cuong travel finds most popular on Phu Quoc Island: 1. Bay Gao, 2. Sim Son, 3. Thanh Long. These 3 facilities have become familiar tourist spots for many travelers, both domestic and international, whenever they visit Phu Quoc.
So where are these sim wine production facilities located? Most of these Phu Quoc tourist destinations are concentrated in the Suoi May area, mainly at the end of Tran Hung Dao Street, conveniently close to the airport. So, if you want to buy sim wine as a gift on the last day of your Phu Quoc trip, visit this Phu Quoc tourist destination before heading to the airport.
22. Mong Tay Island
Recently, there is a popular one-day tour in Phu Quoc that tourists love. Do you know which tour it is? It’s the tour to 4 islands in Phu Quoc, including Mong Tay island, May Rut Trong island, May Rut Ngoai island, and Dam Ngang island, also known as Gam Ghi island.
So what makes these Phu Quoc tourist spots so popular among visitors?
Mong Tay island is indeed a fitting name, as the island is quite small, resembling a fingernail. The sea around Mong Tay island is deep blue and refreshing, making it a renowned tourist spot in Phu Quoc. There are not many residents living on Mong Tay island, only a few households on the outskirts of this Phu Quoc tourist spot. Their main occupations are fishing and selling food and drinks to tourists exploring Mong Tay island.
Mong Tay island is a popular destination in many one-day Phu Quoc tours. Some of the tour names you might come across are the 2-island tour to Mong Tay and May Rut islands for around 450,000 VND per person, or the 3-island tour to Mong Tay, May Rut, and Dam Ngang islands for about 600,000 VND per person. The 4-island tour to Mong Tay, May Rut Trong, May Rut Ngoai, and Dam Ngang islands costs around 800,000 VND per person, prices may vary depending on the seller. If you want to book this one-day Phu Quoc tour, contact Cuong Travel, they might offer you the best price.
Cuong Travel has not yet explored other islands, but Mong Tay island has already become a representative name for the island clusters far out. Wondering why? It’s simple, because it has the most beautiful bathing beach, and tourists in Phu Quoc discover this tourist spot before the others, making it the most famous tourist spot in Phu Quoc. Now let’s move on to May Rut island.
23. May Rut island
As Cuong travel mentioned above, May Rut Island includes both May Rut Island inside and May Rut Island outside, both of which are beautiful. In the southern area of Phu Quoc Island, almost all the islands have white sand beaches, from Sao Beach Phu Quoc, Khem Beach Phu Quoc, to Mong Tay Island, May Rut Island, almost every tourist spot in Phu Quoc has white sandy shores.
May Rut Island outside is the residence of Mrs. Bay Yen, known as the queen of May Rut Island. If you don’t know the legend of Mrs. Bay Yen, you can search on Google, there are many myths about this woman who is called the queen of the island.
May Rut Island outside is now visited by many foreign tourists for check-ins, due to its fine white sand, clear blue sea, and beautiful coral reefs. There is also professional tourism development here, with restaurants, hammocks for rent, swimwear for sale, and complete restroom facilities.
May Rut Island inside has been bought and renovated by a Phu Quoc travel company to become a tourist destination. We are all looking forward to a new look for May Rut Island inside.
Once tourists arrive at this Phu Quoc tourist spot, they can only swim, snorkel, or enjoy the beach. If they get bored, they can come ashore to order and eat seafood. The seafood prices here may seem expensive, like 700,000 – 900,000 VND/kg for grouper, but when you see the size and quality of the fish, the price doesn’t seem too high. Similar to Mong Tay Island, May Rut Island in Phu Quoc is also included in many Phu Quoc day tours, such as the 2-island tour, 3-island tour, and 4-island tour. Many Phu Quoc tourists even request to visit these Phu Quoc tourist spots on their all-inclusive tours.
A note for you before traveling to Phu Quoc is that islands like Mong Tay Island, May Rut Island, and Dam Ngang Island are quite far from the shore, starting from the An Thoi port in the south of Phu Quoc. In the past, the only way to reach these islands for fun was by boat, which took about 2-3 hours even at a speed of 40-50 km/h. But now there are speedboats available, which are much faster, taking only half an hour to reach these Phu Quoc tourist spots. If you are short on time during your Phu Quoc tour, you should opt for a speedboat.
24. Dam Ngang Island
The last island that Cuong travel wants to introduce to you in the group of 4 distant islands in Phu Quoc island is Hon Dam Ngang. Hon Dam Ngang does not have a long, wide sandy beach, but rather a short rocky beach, so you can’t swim there.
So what’s the point of visiting this Phu Quoc tourist spot? You go to Hon Dam Ngang in Phu Quoc to dive and admire the coral reefs. Because it’s all rocky beaches, it’s a great condition for you to dive and admire the coral reefs. In the past, tourists could go up to the island to play. But now you can’t go up anymore because a resort has bought this island to build a resort. Cuong travel asked the boatman why there was no one guarding the place, but the answer was that there is a guard station on Hon Dam Ngang.
Hon Dam Ngang is not planned for any tourism services, so visitors to this Phu Quoc tourist spot only go there to dive and admire the coral reefs for about 30 minutes to an hour and then move on to another island, as there’s nothing else to do there.
Because of its unique terrain and situation, Hon Dam Ngang is often the most overlooked spot in Phu Quoc tours of 1 day visiting 2 islands, 3 islands, 4 islands. But if you overlook your initial impression and start your own experience journey, Cuong travel can assure you that the coral reefs at Hon Dam Ngang are the most beautiful among the Phu Quoc island group.
25. Duong Dong Market
This is a market that has been around for a long time, but later on, the market was rebuilt with stalls for vendors to sell their goods. Since then, more and more tourists have been coming to Duong Dong market, and gradually it has become a popular tourist destination in Phu Quoc where many people visit for shopping. At Duong Dong market, the bustling atmosphere starts early in the morning, around 4 am when the fishermen return from the sea and bring their catch to the market. If you are willing to wake up early, you will be surprised to see many tourists in Phu Quoc who have also woken up early to buy fresh seafood that has just been caught. Duong Dong market is also a shopping destination for tourists visiting Phu Quoc. Here, visitors can easily buy souvenirs displayed on both sides of the market entrance. Visitors can also enjoy local dishes prepared by the islanders such as: banh canh cha, chao cha, bun rieu…
What does Duong Dong market offer?

26. Phu Quoc night market
Phu Quoc Night Market is located in the center of Duong Dong town and is also the center of Phu Quoc island. Phu Quoc Night Market is situated along Bach Dang street and partly on Ly Tu Trong, Nguyen Trai, Le Loi streets. Phu Quoc Night Market is planned as a tourist market, so it has become a must-visit destination in Phu Quoc travel itineraries for tourists in the evenings.
Since it is a night market, it naturally opens in the evening. But usually, Phu Quoc tourist spots start setting up around 4 pm and close around 11 pm. The opening hours may vary depending on the weather and customers. However, this Phu Quoc tourist spot does not open overnight. Typically, in Phu Quoc tours, travel companies take visitors to the night market around 6:00 pm, so this time is very crowded with tour company vehicles and tourists exploring the market. Independent travelers to Phu Quoc usually visit the night market from 4:00 pm to enjoy local cuisine while strolling around. Local residents or tourists on package tours usually visit the market after dinner, around 7:00 pm, for shopping and snacks. Therefore, the busiest time at the night market is from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. From 10:00 pm, tourists start heading back to rest for the next day’s exploration of other Phu Quoc tourist spots.
Most snacks in Phu Quoc are priced at 30,000 VND per portion, sometimes even cheaper, depending on the dish. However, seafood in Phu Quoc does not cost 30,000 VND, the prices vary depending on the market rates, and the stalls in Phu Quoc Night Market will have price lists displayed.
27. Phu Quoc Mushroom Farm
Phu Quoc Island has long been famous for its endless green pepper gardens, lush purple mangosteen forests, large bee farms for honey, and fresh vegetable gardens. This shows that ecotourism in Phu Quoc is developing strongly and bringing many interesting things to tourists.
Recently, a new attractive tourist destination has emerged in Phu Quoc. That is the Phu Quoc Mushroom Farm.
Phu Quoc Mushroom is a tourist farm specializing in cultivating edible and medicinal mushrooms. At this Phu Quoc tourist spot, you can explore the mushroom cultivation model and it is also an ideal tourist destination when you visit Phu Quoc Island. Cuong Du Lich seems to have not seen any Phu Quoc tours that include a visit to this Phu Quoc tourist spot. This tourist spot is very close to Phu Quoc Airport, so you can ask the tour organizer to include a visit on the first day or the last day before or after going to the airport to explore this Phu Quoc tourist spot. The road is very convenient, so Cuong Du Lich thinks there should be no obstacles.
Phu Quoc Mushroom is the first farm to research and cultivate rare mushrooms such as Phu Quoc Swallow’s Nest, Cordyceps, etc., all are nutritious supplements.
When visiting the Phu Quoc tourist spot, the mushroom farm, tourists will experience firsthand the production process of rare mushrooms. In addition, visitors can immerse themselves in the green, cool space at the farm and will be offered a free trial of Cordyceps tea, which is very nutritious for health.
