The most beautiful "slice" of Phu Quoc Island.
Located in the An Thoi archipelago, Hon Thom is one of the largest islands in southern Phu Quoc , boasting diverse landscapes with lush green forests, long stretches of white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a rich marine ecosystem.
What makes Hon Thom a "mini Phu Quoc" is not only its scenery, but also its ability to bring together the most characteristic experiences of Phu Quoc Island in one destination. In just one day, visitors can swim in the sea, admire coral reefs, explore nature, enjoy the cuisine , experience thrilling water sports, and conclude their journey with the moment the sun gradually sets over the vast ocean.
One of the island's highlights is the underwater world around Ky Lan Cape. Known for its beautiful coral reefs , Phu Quoc boasts a diverse marine ecosystem, perfect for activities like scuba diving, underwater walking, or exploring the ocean in more relaxed ways. Beneath the clear blue waters, visitors can observe colorful coral formations, schools of small fish, and experience the vibrant life of the southern island's marine environment.
The Hon Thom experience typically begins at Sunset Town, where the world's longest three-wire cable car takes visitors across the southern skies of Phu Quoc. From the cabin, a panoramic view of the An Thoi archipelago unfolds, with small islands scattered across the blue sea. The water's color changes with depth, sometimes turquoise, sometimes dark, creating a multi-layered seascape and serving as an exciting prelude to exploring Hon Thom.
Upon arriving on the island, Hon Thom's atmosphere becomes more vibrant with the Sun World Hon Thom entertainment complex. Aquatopia Water Park is one of the most popular destinations in the South of the island, suitable for families, groups of young friends, and tourists who want a full day of fun. The park's space is built around a tropical desert island theme, combining many modern water games, from winding slides and high-speed slides to gentler play areas for younger children.
For thrill-seekers, rides like "The Serpent's Battle" and "The Dragon Cruiser" offer exhilarating experiences amidst the island's seascape. Nearby, the Exotica Village area, with its "Wrathful Wooden Serpent"—the first wooden roller coaster in Vietnam—adds another unique experience to your exploration of Hon Thom Island.
After hours of fun, visitors can stop at the island's culinary spaces such as the Mango buffet restaurant or the Taste of Vietnam area, which evokes the familiar flavors of Vietnamese cuisine, from well-known dishes to the rustic flavors of the coastal region.
Hon Thom expands its experiential map.
Previously, many tourists visited Hon Thom Island for a day trip to ride the cable car, enjoy the water park, or go snorkeling. Now, the island offers even more reasons for visitors to stay longer. New coastal spaces are helping to shape Hon Thom as a destination not only for sightseeing but also for enjoying a resort lifestyle.
Located on Bai Trao beach, Santo Beach Club impresses at first glance with its architecture inspired by Santorini on the Mediterranean coast. The pristine white buildings, sea-blue domes, and tiered staircases winding along the natural rock face create a romantic yet free-spirited setting amidst the tropical nature of Phu Quoc.
Many tourists liken this place to a "tropical Santorini." Even the prestigious travel magazine Travel + Leisure once described Santo Beach Club as a creative interpretation of Mediterranean beauty within the island landscape of Phu Quoc – an experience hard to find anywhere else in the world.
The highlight of Santo Beach Club is its two adjacent infinity pools, offering two different experiences: a freshwater pool at the top and a seawater pool pumped directly from the ocean at the bottom. From here, guests can gaze out at the southern sea and sky , admire the endless horizon, and fully feel the rhythm of the ocean.
As evening falls, Santo Beach Club shifts to a different rhythm. The beach atmosphere becomes more vibrant with music, beer and BBQ parties, DJs, and dazzling lights. Thanks to this, the "specialty" of watching the sunset on Hon Thom Island is revitalized, becoming an experience that combines cuisine, music, a festive atmosphere, and emotionally rich moments by the sea. This is also a suitable spot for young travelers, couples, or anyone looking for a modern beach space that is still close to nature.
Beyond short day trips, Hon Thom is gradually moving towards a "holiday paradise" model with the emergence of high-class projects. Prominent among them is the Rixos Phu Quoc resort, with its iconic tower inspired by the hat of Empress Nam Phuong, expected to offer the brand's first "All Inclusive, All Exclusive" model in Southeast Asia.
Boasting a large-scale accommodation system, numerous restaurants, bars, beachfront entertainment facilities, water sports activities, a wellness spa, and family-friendly spaces, the project is expected to add a crucial piece to Hon Thom's high-end resort ecosystem. Alongside this are a chain of hotels such as TRIBE, Moxy, Fairfield… expected to open from 2027, and further beyond, world-class luxury hotels like The Luxury Collection and Ritz-Carlton Reserve Hon Thom.
Once the resort facilities are completed, Hon Thom will no longer be just a day-trip destination, but will gradually become a multi-day stop for tourists exploring Phu Quoc. At that time, the beauty of this "mini Phu Quoc" will not only be appreciated through a few hours of experience, but fully enjoyed through every moment of relaxation amidst the sea and sky of the southern island.
