Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam was once a sleepy backpacker retreat renowned for its fish sauce, pearl and black pepper production. Today this tiny heart shaped island is on the cusp of becoming Asia’s next top holiday destination. There are plenty of activities for adventure seekers visiting Phu Quoc, such as joining other visitors on a island hopping and snorkeling expedition or trekking through lush rainforests teeming with exotic plant and wildlife. The hunt for the perfect pearl necklace may take devoted shoppers on a chase throughout town and history buffs can learn about the country’s checkered past by intimately touring a decommissioned war prison. However most people come to Phu Quoc Island for one purpose: lazing the day away on a post card perfect beach and watching a brilliant sunset over the bright turquoise ocean.

Everything about this island is inviting and it is a perfect escape from reality and everyday life. Learn more by exploring Phu Quoc Island’s very first infographic below:
