On October 7, 2025, the prestigious American travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler released its annual Readers’ Choice Awards, featuring the Best Islands in the World 2025.
Among thousands of destinations, Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam stood out, claiming the title of Asia’s most beautiful island and ranking third globally with an impressive score of 95.51/100.

This puts Phu Quoc ahead of iconic names like Maldives (92.31), Bali (89.84), Phuket (84.62), and even Maui (93.35) in Hawaii — a remarkable achievement for Vietnam’s “Pearl Island.”

According to Condé Nast Traveler, Phu Quoc’s high score reflects travelers’ satisfaction across several key aspects:

• Exceptional service quality

• Breathtaking natural scenery

• Unique and flavorful local cuisine

The island’s charm lies in its unspoiled beaches, tropical landscapes, and the warmth of its people — a rare combination that creates unforgettable travel experiences.

Breathtaking Beaches: The Soul of Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc’s coastline is dotted with stunning beaches, each offering its own personality.

• Khem Beach stands out with powder-white sand and emerald waters, ideal for relaxation.

• Sao Beach, Long Beach, and Hon Thom Island attract sunseekers and adventurers alike, offering pristine beauty and vibrant activities.

These idyllic beaches have become the soul of Phu Quoc — the essence of what makes it Asia’s crown jewel.

A Taste of the Island: Phu Quoc’s Unique Cuisine

Food lovers will find Phu Quoc irresistible. The island’s cuisine blends ocean freshness with traditional Vietnamese flavors:

Every dish tells a story of the sea and the people who live by it.
