Bai Dai (Long Beach)

The beach, as its name hinted, stretches up to a length of 15 kilometer on the northwest side of the island. Long beach is famous for its long shore so you can feel like it’s never really crowded as well as the pristine beauty and natural yellow sandbank. The sea water here is especially clean because boats don’t often sail to this side of the island. Activities for visitors include swimming, diving or fishing. Located 800m away from the beach is Doi Moi island with remote and primitive beauties.

However, on the shore of Long Beach, a large number of facilities have occupied the access to the sea. They are mostly belonged to Vingroup Co. such as Vinpearl complexes including Vinpearl Park, Vinpearl Hotels, Casino Phu Quoc and more.

Only visitors of Vinpearl Land hotels and resorts have the access to the sea which means Long Beach is cleaner than other beaches. Room rates of Vinpearl start from 3 millions of VND.

Bai Khem

Located on the southeast of the island, Khem beach is one of the beaches public visitors can’t visit freely. Just like its name – Khem or Kem means “ice cream”. The reason for this name is because the beach’s sandbank is so white just like ice cream. Khem beach is in the south of the island belonging to An Thoi commune, 25km away from Duong Dong commune center. The beach has a bow shape and lies very quietly between 2 green mountains.

Compared to Bai Dai, Bai Khem is much calmer and more suitable for swimming. There are also seafood restaurants which provide freshest and most diverse seafood dishes on Phu Quoc. Yet again, to enjoy all that, you’ll have to be guest of Marriott Phu Quoc. Marriott’s room rates are from 10 millions per night which is very high to most of the tourists coming to Phu Quoc

Bai Truong

Bai Truong is even longer than Bai Dai with its length of 20 kilometers stretching from Dinh Cau to Khoe Tau Ru. The sand here has a nice light yellow color, the sea is blue and the waves are calm. Truong beach has several smaller beaches, lying next to each other, intertwined with the rock reefs, the forests and the fishing village. The natural beauty of Bai Truong is just so stunning which is also the reason why Bai Truong has the largest number of accommodation facilities occupied. There are almost twenty hotels and resorts on this single beach. The major ones are Eden Phu Quoc resort, Amarin Hotel, Nhat Lan resort…. So to enjoy the beauties of Truong beach, there is no other way than being guest of one of the resorts here. Room rates are widely varied.

Those beaches are indeed very beautiful and it’s such a shame to not able to enjoy them freely. But cheer up, Phu Quoc still has many other beauties you can visit without booking a room like Sao Beach, Ong Lang Beach, Ganh Dau, Dinh Cau….
