Most hotels and resorts in Phu Quoc are located along Bai Dai, or Long Beach, where the sea is as blue as sapphire and nature is unspoiled.  The ABC News selected Bai Dai beach in Phu Quoc as one of the world’s 5 most beautiful and clean beaches. Its “Hidden beaches” list called Bai Dai a heaven of sun, water, and peaceful nature. Bai Sao, or Star Beach on the island’s southeast coast is another beautiful place to enjoy the sun. Still almost unknown to tourists, this little white sand beach with emerald water is ideal for sunbathing. Bai Sao is flanked by rocky promontories jutting into the sea. Lilian is a tourist from the Netherlands: “From HCM City, we fly here, to Phu Quoc island, just to relax, to enjoy the beach and swimming pool, and the sun. Phu Quoc is very nice and we really enjoy our time here”.
