Why Choose Phu Quoc Island for Front Row Seats: The Sunset Coast Collection?

Phu Quoc is unique among Vietnamese destinations because its primary tourist beaches face west. While other coastal cities like Da Nang or Nha Trang offer sunrise views, Phu Quoc guarantees uninterrupted sunsets over the ocean. The "Sunset Coast Collection" focuses on properties that maximize this geographical advantage. Staying at these resorts ensures that the end of your day is celebrated with violet and tangerine skies, best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand from a private balcony or an infinity pool.

Top Areas to Stay for Sunset Lovers

Long Beach (Bai Truong): The epicenter of luxury. Here you find the Regent Phu Quoc and InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort. This area connects you to the main island vibe while offering vast stretches of sand. The Pullman Phu Quoc Beach Resort and Salinda Resort are also key highlights here, blending accessibility with beachfront serenity.
Ong Lang & Cua Can: Moving north, the vibe becomes more boutique and tranquil. Mövenpick Resort Waverly offers a perfect balance of isolation and luxury, providing a quieter sunset experience away from the crowds.
Starbay & The North: For ultimate seclusion, the northern coast is unmatched. Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay sits on a pristine strip of Bai Dai, while Nam Nghi Coral Peninsula offers a unique rocky promontory view, allowing for a 270-degree perspective of the ocean.

Intercontinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort

If you assume the InterContinental brand is purely corporate beige, INK 360 is here to shatter that illusion. Perched on the 19th floor, the bar’s giant octopus tentacles—designed by the visionary Ashley Sutton—frame the sunset in a way that feels more brooding Gotham than tropical breezy. It is the definitive vantage point on Phu Quoc and arguably the resort’s aesthetic anchor. Down at sea level, the experience shifts from edgy design to family-centric sprawl. The property commands a massive stretch of Long Beach, anchored by four distinct pools. The Vista Infinity Pool offers the requisite glamour for adults, while the Splash! pool keeps the younger demographic occupied with slides and water cannons. Rooms are spacious sanctuaries of cool greys and blues, equipped with deep soaking tubs and balconies that actually face the ocean rather than a neighbor’s wall. Dining requires navigation. The main breakfast hall, Sora & Umi, can resemble a bustling marketplace; it’s chaotic, yes, but the flaky almond croissants and strong Vietnamese drip coffee are non-negotiable staples. For a sophisticated evening, bypass the buffet for LAVA. Here, beneath a dramatic bamboo dome, Alaska king crab and charcoal-grilled beef tenderloin are cooked on hot lava stones—a theatrical yet refined experience. The resort’s true sanctuary, however, lies in the HARNN Heritage Spa. Floating bamboo-hut treatment suites sit atop a lotus lagoon, offering a level of acoustic isolation that is rare in a property of this size. While housekeeping can occasionally drift into 'island time,' the hardware and the sunset views generally smooth over the rough edges.

“Escape the breakfast crowds at Sora & Umi by booking a Club InterContinental room. You'll gain access to the private Club Lounge pool and a serene, à la carte breakfast service.”

Insider Tip

If the words “Crowne Plaza” conjure images of airport conferences and beige carpeting, the Starbay outpost on Phu Quoc’s northwestern coast demands a hard reset of your expectations. This is not a layover; it’s a destination. Anchored on the white sands of Bai Dai, the property leans into a “bleisure” identity that feels surprisingly cohesive, trading corporate sterility for an aesthetic that—while slightly monolithic from the exterior—softens into a warm, wood-slatted embrace inside. The hardware is undeniably sharp (opened 2021), featuring a Plaza Workspace that actually makes clearing your inbox tolerable before you clock out for the real draw: the Amber Sands Beach Club. Here, the vibe shifts from 9-to-5 productivity to 5-to-9 hedonism with fire-grilled seafood boils and a sunset spectacle that justifies the remote trek from Duong Dong. While the 50m Olympic lap pool screams discipline, the free-form Lagoon pool is where you’ll actually spend your afternoon. Rooms are spacious, though soundproofing in the corridors can be porous—light sleepers should pack earplugs or book a standalone villa. Service shines in the details, particularly the “Subtle Energies” amenities in the Hoa Sim Spa, but can wobble during the breakfast rush at Horizons. It’s a trade-off: you sacrifice proximity to town for a stretch of sand that feels exclusively yours, minus the hawkers.
