A beach of powder-soft white sand and emerald water — the most beautiful jewel of Phu Quoc.

Many call Sao Beach the most beautiful beach in Phu Quoc, and one step onto the sand makes it clear why. The sand here is as fine as powder, soft underfoot, cradling a calm, crystal-clear emerald bay. Coconut palms lean their shadows over the water, wooden swings sit half-submerged in the sea, and the water stays gentle all year round. Lying on the sand, listening to the soft lapping of the waves and gazing at the deep-blue horizon, Sao Beach gives you a feeling of absolute peace.
