Amidst numerous summer beach travel options, South Phu Quoc Island is emerging as a rare "accommodating" destination for families. Not only attractive with its blue sea and white sand, this place boasts a diverse experience ecosystem, where young children can play all day and parents can leisurely enjoy their vacation in a safe, convenient, and emotionally rich space.
A tropical paradise for every summer vacation
The allure of the South Island comes from its tropical beauty, with gentle golden sunshine, calm seas, and a naturally blessed landscape. Prominent among these is Kem Beach – one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. Kem Beach captivates visitors not only with its characteristic turquoise waters and golden sun gently spread on fine white sand, but also thanks to its suitability for family vacations. The gentle slope of the coast, calm waves, and shallow waters near the shore create an ideal space for young children to play, while adults can leisurely enjoy relaxing moments by the sea.
Kem Beach is always on the list of must-visit destinations in Phu Quoc
Kem Beach is also the "home" to world-leading resort and hotel brands, all chosen by many families for their spaciousness, amenities, and high-class services, capable of meeting the needs of all generations. Stretching along the coast are beachfront resorts such as JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, New World Phu Quoc Resort, and Premier Residences Phu Quoc Emerald Bay. Each resort offers a unique style, from luxurious resort spaces, private pool villas suitable for multi-generational families, to comfortable serviced apartments for groups of friends or young families.
A destination that pleases every generation in the family
If the blue sea and beachfront resorts offer a relaxing time, then the chain of experiences in the South of the island makes the journey more complete.
The journey across the ocean on the Hon Thom cable car is a "must-try" experience when visiting South Phu Quoc
One of the experiences that is almost impossible to miss is the journey to Hon Thom by the world's longest 3-wire cable car route. From the high cabin, the entire An Thoi archipelago appears with green islands, coastal fishing villages, and crystal-clear water stretching to the horizon. This is one of the rare perspectives that helps visitors fully appreciate the beauty of the South Island from above.
On the other side of the ocean, the cable car takes families to the Sun World Hon Thom entertainment paradise with theme park areas like Exotica Village, the leading Aquatopia water park in Asia with exciting "giant" water slides, and a lazy river that allows families to spend the whole day without getting bored.
Santo Beach Club attracts visitors with two infinity pools embracing Phu Quoc's sea and sunset views
After hours of fun at Sun World Hon Thom, families can leisurely explore the relaxing sea and sky scenery at Santo Beach Club – a new must-visit sea-viewing spot. Located on the west side of the island, Santo Beach Club is one of the favorite stops thanks to its open, sea-facing space along with a wide view encompassing the horizon. While young children continue to play in the water, adults can relax by two unique pools – one freshwater pool and one using seawater pumped directly from the ocean – or enjoy light snacks and mocktails at the poolside sea-view cafe.
As the last cable cars of the day take visitors back to the South Island, another journey begins at Sunset Town – one of Phu Quoc's new icons. Under the sunset, Mediterranean-inspired architecture, coastal squares, cobblestone streets, and the Kiss Bridge create a scene reminiscent of southern European seaside towns. This is also where visitors can visit Apollo Cafe – a unique structure designed by architect Bill Bensley, once mentioned by international media as one of the cafes with the most "bizarre" architecture in the world.
Two spectacular nightly fireworks displays create the "visual signature" of Pearl Island
As night falls, Sunset Town becomes even more vibrant with unique experiences. Here, visitors can treat their children to fireworks from the Guinness World Record-holding show Kiss of the Sea or the Symphony of the Sea show, featuring eye-catching jet ski, flyboard, and laser performances. These are also the two shows that have made Phu Quoc the only island in the world to launch fireworks twice in the same night, 365 days a year.
Besides, Sunset Town boasts an increasingly rich ecosystem of night experiences with street performances, interactive activities for children, the Sunset Bazaar shopping street, and the VUI-Fest night market. From local delicacies and fresh seafood to international cuisine, this seaside setting is enough to captivate any age group.
With beautiful and safe beaches, an ever-improving resort ecosystem, and a chain of experiences extending from morning to night, South Phu Quoc is becoming the choice for more and more families seeking a complete summer vacation. It is not just a place for seaside relaxation, but is gradually becoming a destination where every family member can bring back a fulfilling vacation experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
