The short version

Vietnam's island escape — soft white sand, warm water and long golden evenings.

Phu Quoc is where a Vietnam trip slows down. The west coast takes the sunsets, the south has the softest sand, and the cable car out to Hòn Thơm is worth the trip on its own. Easy to reach, easy to enjoy, and one of the simplest places in Southeast Asia to do very little extremely well.
