In the article about 10 travel experiences in Southern Vietnam that completely change the concept of beauty, Forbes Italia especially gave many compliments to Phu Quoc when praising the natural beauty of the pearl island.
According to Forbes, Vietnam's "pearl" is a destination that perfectly combines pristine nature, hospitality and a slow pace of life. You can only immerse yourself in the sound of the fence-clappering waves, Forbes wrote.
The beauty of Phu Quoc appears with its turquoise water, ideal for diving activities. The smooth, gentle white sand beaches are surrounded by towering rows of palm trees.
From Forbes' perspective, the South Island area with the islands of the An Thoi archipelago is a place "not more suitable for sea-loving".
Visitors can kayak or watch the sunset on a catamaran cruise with a luxurious dinner or relax at unique resorts in Bai Dai, but if you want more peace, you should go to Bai kem. Endless swimming pools facing the sea, spas located in the middle of coconut forest...
At Bai kem, visitors can experience the world's leading resorts with different colors and stories, helping each time they return to Phu Quoc to have something new to explore.

A little further away from Bai kem is Premier Village Phu Quoc in Mui Ong Doi, which Forbes gave many "winged" words. The magazine called this a "private haven, where visitors can find true peace".
With 217 villas located along the hillside and facing the sea, each house has its own infinity pool and porch, designed to be minimalist in wood and stone but still exuding modern sophistication.
Here, visitors can start their day with yoga to welcome the sunrise on the beach, or experience rotating bell therapy using a Fullmoon bell set from Tibet, elaborately crafted from 7 pure metals on a full moon night by master artisans.
The resort space is even more complete with a Corallo restaurant serving fresh seafood and Phu Quoc pepper in the style of Mediterranean cuisine, along with Plumeria Spa providing traditional Vietnamese therapies.
In addition to introducing experiences associated with the beauty of Phu Quoc, Forbes also especially emphasized the island's transformation journey. From a " sleeping" island with coastal fishing villages, pepper gardens and hidden temples in the forest, it has now shaped its position as a luxurious tourism symbol in the area.
In just the past 3 years, the island has witnessed a spectacular change, especially in the southern part of Phu Quoc Island with the Sun Paradise Land ecosystem.

Phu Quoc has shifted from a quiet resort to a dynamic sea and island paradise - the destination of the Asian upper class. This is further demonstrated when the primitive island has become the chosen location to host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum in 2027.
This is not only a top-notch important political and economic event, but also an opportunity for Phu Quoc to fully introduce its identity, potential and high-class tourism - resort infrastructure to international friends.
Phu Quoc is setting a new standard for the concept of tropical resorts without losing its original identity, Forbes Italia commented on the luxury but still sophistication and preservation of the identity of the pearl island.
