Wedding in Phu Quoc
Vietnam
Why choose Phu Quoc for your wedding?
Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island, sitting in the Gulf of Thailand near the Cambodian coast. It remains one of Asia's least-developed premium destinations: white beaches, clear water and a growing portfolio of five-star resorts but without the tourist density of Phuket or Bantayan. For couples seeking tropical seclusion without flying all the way to the Maldives, Phu Quoc is an ascending choice.
Travel time from London is 15-18 hours - no direct flights, with a connection in Bangkok, Singapore or Ho Chi Minh City. Phu Quoc has its own international airport, opened in 2012 and expanded in 2018. Visa-free 30 days for Phu Quoc only (the island's special rule - if you travel to the mainland a normal visa is required). It is one of the few places in Asia still actively building new product; resorts like JW Marriott Emerald Bay opened in 2017.
