Tourists are thrilled after a fishing trip off the coast of Phu Quoc.
The criteria for selecting islands are based on six factors: natural attractions or beaches; activities and sights; restaurants and cuisine ; friendly people; and the value the destination offers to tourists.
The 25 most beautiful islands in the world are the subject of the annual World's Best Award, which recognizes outstanding services in the tourism sector.
The award was voted on by over 700,000 readers, including international travelers and travel experts.
In its review of Phu Quoc Island, Travel & Leisure wrote: "Located off the west coast of Vietnam, the island's greatest strength is its status as an emerging tourist destination worldwide. While some Southeast Asian beaches are developing, Phu Quoc has maintained its tranquility. But that doesn't mean you can't find luxury hotels here. One example is Regent Phu Quoc, which boasts a rooftop infinity pool, and New World Phu Quoc, ranked among the top 4 best resorts in Southeast Asia and the top 100 in the world in 2024…"
