Top Indian Restaurants in Duong Dong (Center)

Most of the hotels are located in the Duong Dong area, which is the food hub of the island.

• Ganesh Indian Restaurant: A trusted name across Vietnam. Their Paneer Tikka and Dal Makhani are favorites. They can customize spice levels and serve Jain Food (No Onion, No Garlic) on request.

• Radhe Radhe: Known for its Pure Vegetarian & Jain thalis, ensuring you get a homely meal even 30km away from the city center.

Local Vegetarian Dishes You Must Try

If you want to experiment with Vietnamese cuisine, look for the word "Chay" (which means Vegetarian).

• Lau Chay (Veg Hotpot): A healthy soup with mushrooms, tofu, greens, and noodles—perfect for a light dinner.

Pro Tips for Vegetarians:

• Jain Travelers: We recommend carrying ready-to-eat packets (Theplas/Khakhra) for emergencies, though most Indian restaurants here understand "No Onion, No Garlic" instructions.
• Breakfast: Most 4-star hotels in Phu Quoc offer an "Indian Corner" in their breakfast buffet with items like Idli, Poha, or Aloo Bhaji.

Reaching Phu Quoc is easy, but choosing the right flight path is crucial to avail the Visa Exemption (Visa-Free Entry). Here are the best ways to travel:

Option 1: Direct Flights (Best & Easiest)

• Airline: VietJet Air.
• Route: Direct flights are available from New Delhi (DEL) and Mumbai (BOM) to Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC).
• Visa Status: Visa-Free. Since you land directly on the island from India, you get a 30-day visa waiver.
• Duration: Approx. 5 to 6 hours.

Note: Flight schedules are subject to change seasonally. Please check with our team for confirmed dates.

Option 2: Via International Hubs (Visa-Free Alternative)

If direct flights are not available or expensive, you can fly via other Southeast Asian hubs.

• Airlines: AirAsia, Batik Air, Singapore Airlines, Thai VietJet.
• Route: Fly from India to Bangkok (DMK/BKK), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), or Singapore (SIN), and then take a connecting flight to Phu Quoc.
• Visa Status: Visa-Free. As long as you do not enter mainland Vietnam (Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh) and land directly in Phu Quoc from a foreign country, the exemption applies.

Option 3: Via Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi (Visa Required)

• Route: Fly from India to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) or Hanoi (HAN), then take a domestic flight to Phu Quoc.
• Visa Status: E-Visa Required. Why? You will clear immigration at the first point of entry (Hanoi/HCMC). Once you enter mainland Vietnam to take a domestic flight, the "Phu Quoc Exemption" is no longer valid. You must apply for a Vietnam E-Visa (approx $25) in advance.

Recommendation: Choose this route only if you plan to visit other parts of Vietnam along with Phu Quoc.

Important Travel Tip

To enjoy the Visa Waiver, your flight ticket must show an international arrival into Phu Quoc. Always carry a return flight ticket and hotel booking proof, as immigration officers may ask for it.

Beyond the theme parks and zoos, Phu Quoc offers incredible outdoor activities. Here are the top experiences included or recommended in your trip:

Snorkeling in the An Thoi Archipelago

Phu Quoc’s southern islands offer some of the clearest waters in Vietnam. Put on your snorkeling gear (provided in our tour) and dive into the turquoise water at Gam Ghi or May Rut Island. It is a mesmerizing experience where you can witness vibrant coral reefs and colorful tropical fish swimming right next to you, making it a haven for adventure lovers.

Ride the World’s Longest Cable Car

This isn't just transport; it is an adventure in itself. Soar 174 meters above the sea on the Sun World Cable Car for an 8km journey that gives you a bird’s-eye view of hundreds of fishing boats and emerald islands below. Don't forget to capture a panoramic video from the cabin window—the view is simply breathtaking.

Kayaking in the Cua Can River

Take a break from the ocean waves and explore the calm river waters in the North. Paddle your own kayak through the winding Cua Can River, surrounded by lush green mangroves. It is a peaceful, nature-first experience included in our itinerary, and a perfect opportunity to capture serene photos of the island’s untouched beauty.

Watch a Magical Sunset at a Beach Bar

Quoc is famous for its dramatic purple and orange sunsets. For the best views, head to Sunset Sanato Beach Club, famous for its artistic elephant sculptures, or OCSEN Beach Bar to relax on orange bean bags right on the sand. With chill music and cold drinks, it offers the perfect vibe for your golden hour Instagram shots.

Night Squid Fishing

Experience the life of a local fisherman by joining a sunset boat tour. You can try your luck at catching squid using traditional methods under the starry sky. As a bonus, if you catch something, the boat crew will often cook it fresh for you right there, offering a truly authentic local experience.

Relax with a Vietnamese Mud Bath

After days of exploring, treat your body to some well-deserved relaxation. Visit a local spa for a traditional Vietnamese massage or try a mineral Mud Bath, available near Galina or seashore spas. It is the perfect therapy to detox and cool down your skin after a long day in the tropical sun.

Sao Beach (Bai Sao) – The Crown Jewel

Often compared to the Maldives, Sao Beach is widely considered one of the best beaches in Vietnam. Located on the southeastern coast, it is famous for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water that stays calm throughout the year. It is the perfect spot for families to enjoy a swim or for couples to relax on a sunbed with fresh coconut water. Don't forget to take a photo on the famous wooden swing over the water!

Starfish Beach (Rach Vem) – A Natural Wonder

For a truly unique experience, head to the northern tip of the island to visit Starfish Beach. As the name suggests, this beach is home to hundreds of vibrant red starfish that can be seen glowing under the shallow, transparent water. It is a raw, untouched paradise surrounded by floating fishing villages. The best time to visit is during the dry season (November to April) when the water is calmest and the starfish are most visible.

Long Beach (Bai Truong) – The Sunset Strip

If you are staying in the main town, Long Beach is where all the action happens. Stretching over 20km along the western coast, this is the best place on the island to witness a dramatic golden sunset. The coastline is dotted with trendy beach clubs, resorts, and bars where you can enjoy fire shows and music as the sun dips below the horizon. It is ideal for evening walks and soaking in the island's lively vibe.

Khem Beach (Bai Khem) – Emerald Waters

Located in the south near the An Thoi town, Khem Beach is known for its creamy white sand and unique emerald-green water. Unlike the busy Long Beach, Khem Beach is quieter and offers a more private, luxurious feel. The gentle waves make it a safe spot for swimming, and the surrounding lush greenery adds to its tropical charm, making it a favorite for honeymooners seeking tranquility.

Dry Season (November to April) – The Ideal Time

This is the peak tourist season and undoubtedly the best time to visit. During these months, the humidity is low, the sky is clear blue, and the sea is calm and turquoise. It is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying the outdoor theme parks without any rain interruptions. Since the weather is pleasant (around 25°C to 28°C), it aligns perfectly with the winter holidays in India.

Wet Season (May to October) – Best for Budget Travelers

If you want to experience luxury resorts at a lower price, this season is a great option. While you can expect short bursts of tropical rain (usually in the afternoon), the mornings are often sunny. The island turns lush green during this time, and attractions like the Suoi Tranh Waterfall are at their majestic best. It is ideal for those who prefer a quiet, relaxed holiday away from the crowds.

A Quick Note on Weather

Phu Quoc enjoys a tropical climate, meaning it stays warm year-round. However, if your main goal is to visit Starfish Beach or take the Speedboat Tour, we highly recommend sticking to the dry months. During the rainy season, the northern roads can get muddy, and the sea might be too choppy for boat rides.

Grand World – The Sleepless City

Located in the North, Grand World is the ultimate nightlife hub that stays awake 24/7. Often called the "Venice of Vietnam," you can take a romantic gondola ride along the illuminated canals or simply stroll through the colorful streets. The highlight here is the spectacular "Quintessence of Vietnam" cultural show and the vibrant light displays that bring the city to life every evening.

Phu Quoc Night Market (Duong Dong)

For a taste of local hustle and bustle, head to the famous Night Market in Duong Dong town. Open from 6 PM until midnight, this place is a sensory delight filled with the aroma of grilled seafood and local spices. It is the best place to shop for souvenirs, try the famous "Chou Chou" (roasted peanuts), or enjoy a budget-friendly dinner. There are also several Indian restaurants within walking distance.

Sunset Town & Fireworks Show

In the South, Sunset Town offers a more European Mediterranean vibe. The biggest attraction here is the "Kiss of the Sea" show, a multimedia spectacular featuring water, fire, lasers, and music, ending with a stunning Fireworks Display every night. It is a visual treat that adds a magical touch to your island trip.

Beach Clubs & Fire Shows

If you prefer a chilled-out vibe, the western coast is lined with beach bars like OCSEN and Sunset Sanato. Here, you can relax on bean bags right on the sand, sip on cold drinks, and watch mesmerizing Fire Dancing performances that usually start after the sun goes down. It is the perfect way to unwind with cool ocean breezes and good music.

Currency & Payments

The local currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). While credit cards are accepted at major hotels and resorts, cash is king at night markets and small shops. The best way to get good exchange rates is to carry US Dollars (USD) from India and exchange them at Phu Quoc Airport or local jewelry shops (Gold Shops) in Duong Dong town. We recommend keeping small denomination notes handy for taxi rides and street food.

Getting Around with "Grab"

Public transport is limited on the island, so the most convenient way to travel is by using the Grab App (similar to Uber/Ola). It is safe, transparent, and saves you from bargaining with local taxi drivers who might not speak English. Alternatively, if you are an experienced rider, you can rent a motorbike to explore the island at your own pace, but ensure you carry a valid international driving license.

Stay Connected (SIM Cards)

Staying online is essential for maps and translation. You can easily purchase a local tourist SIM card (providers like Viettel or Vinaphone) right at the arrival hall of Phu Quoc International Airport. They offer excellent 4G speed and generous data packages at very affordable rates. If your phone supports it, buying an E-SIM online before your departure is an even more hassle-free option.

Packing Smart

Since Phu Quoc is a tropical island, pack light, breathable cotton clothes and swimwear. A strong Sunscreen and Mosquito Repellent are absolute must-haves, as they can be quite expensive to buy on the island. Also, Vietnam uses Type A, C, and F power plugs (2-pin usually), which are compatible with most Indian chargers, but carrying a universal travel adapter is always a smart move to stay powered up.
