Phu Quoc Beach Escape, 7 nights from R31 715 pps

Journey to Phu Quoc which is known for the gleaming white sand beaches that have earned it the nickname "Pearl Island". Home to fish sauce, pepper, and pearls, Phu Quoc offers both luxury and local life, with clean water by day and clear skies at night. Phu Quoc's 150-kilometer coastline, with gentle waves and transparent turquoise water, makes it Vietnam's most popular destination for water sports. Adventurous travelers can trek the mountain range that spans the length of the island, but even short walks through the evergreen forest reward explorers with waterfalls, rock pools, and caves. Phu Quoc is famous for its fish sauce, and it's well worth touring a fish sauce factory to see how this fermented treasure is made. Travelers interested in local culture and history will enjoy educational sites like Cay Dua prison and temples like Cao Dai.
