Discover a beautiful island likened to Hawaii Vietnam, which is still unfamiliar to many tourists despite being a rapidly developing destination in Asia. The American newspaper Travel off Path has emphasized the difference of this island compared to the real Hawaii, creating a unique attraction. With pristine natural landscapes and many interesting activities, this is an ideal destination for those who love to explore. Come and experience the difference of Hawaii Vietnam.

Even with the huge investments pouring in to turn this paradise into Southeast Asia's top destination, prices are still much more affordable than what you'd find in Hawaii's Honolulu, Kona or Maui.

That place is Phu Quoc!

There is no better time to put your passport to good use than by booking a great beach holiday at this time – spring – the best season in Phu Quoc, to see how beautiful, fun-filled and pristine this island really is.

Travel off Path affirms that Phu Quoc is one of the most affordable paradises in Asia.

Asia is arguably the most magical of the seven continents, with bustling metropolises filled with sights, sounds and scents, picturesque villages unlike any other in America and thousands of breathtaking islands stretching from the Philippines to Thailand and yes, Vietnam, the paper writes.

Phu Quoc is the fifth fastest growing destination in Southeast Asia, but Thailand is more prominent with recognizable names like Bangkok and Phuket.

However, Phuket has become overpopulated, which has become a negative tourism trend. In that context, Phu Quoc easily beats Phuket in terms of affordability, and Bali, another island that is also overpopulated.

Regardless, there’s no doubt about Phu Quoc. It’s incredibly cheap, incredibly beautiful, welcoming to all types of travelers, and fun for all ages, nomads, solo travelers, families…

With mid-range rooms starting at just $14 and branded resorts like Wyndham Grand starting at just $68, who wouldn't want to stay here, short or long term?

As a travel writer, the author of the article admits that the word “paradise” is probably overused in many parts of the world, but what other word is there to describe Phu Quoc’s remote island with miles of white sand beaches, crystal clear waters teeming with vibrant marine life, and dense forests dotted with swaying coconut trees?

"Paradise" is definitely right!

Visitors will find some of Vietnam’s most beautiful beaches here, such as the famous Sao Beach and Dai Beach. Sao Beach is home to dozens if not hundreds of starfish living their best lives.

Don't copy them too much by lazing by the pool during your trip, as there are plenty of resorts dotted along the coast to relax in during your days there.

On the other hand, there are also many activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, diving and boat tours...

However, there is another great way to explore the natural beauty of Phu Quoc is to book a snorkeling tour to see the coral. You have never seen such clear sea water in your life and feel like swimming in the water of spring.

Then there are the island's nature trails that lead to picturesque waterfalls, such as Tranh Stream and Tien Stream, which are often the least crowded and great for swimming.

On top of that, the cuisine in Phu Quoc is sinfully delicious on this multicultural island.

While you can certainly find quiet places to relax, there's also an urban jungle to explore, with vibrant night markets, rooftop bars with panoramic views…

Perhaps the most surprising attraction is an amusement park. Divided into six zones inspired by global myths and legends, VinWonders Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s largest amusement park and is fun for all ages.

Last but certainly not least, there is the Hon Thom cable car, recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest 3-wire cable car in the world.

Round trip tickets are $26 for a trip you will never forget.
