Long Beach (Bai Truong) is where most people on Phu Quoc end up. The 20 km west-coast strip has the widest choice of hotels on the island, reliable sunset views, and everything from cheap guesthouses to full five-star resorts. If you’ve already decided on Long Beach, the remaining question is: which part of the strip, and what does your budget actually buy you there?
This guide runs through the best hotels on Long Beach by price band, with confirmed 2026 rates. It covers genuine beachfront properties only — rooms where you cross sand to reach the water, not a car park and a lobby shuttle.
The short version
- Under 1,500,000 ₫ (~$60) per night: Sol by Melia from 1,425,000 ₫ — 5-star branding at budget rates, good bar scene, private beach
- 1,350,000–2,550,000 ₫ (~$54–100): Novotel is the most reliable value beachfront option; free kayaking, two pools, breakfast often included
- 1,375,000–2,375,000 ₫ (~$55–95): Seashells for couples who want spa access and free breakfast without paying 5-star prices
- 3,000,000–7,000,000 ₫ (~$120–280): Pullman for sunset-facing pool infrastructure and a proper spa
- 3,675,000 ₫+ (~$147+): InterContinental for full luxury resort with rooftop bar and IHG loyalty points
- Book December–February at least 2–3 months ahead; the strip sells out fast in peak season
- Don’t confuse Long Beach with Bai Khem (south island) or Ong Lang (north) — different vibes, different hotels
How Long Beach is laid out
The strip runs roughly north–south for 20 km along the western coast. The northern end — near Duong Dong town — is the noisiest and most convenient. The night market, pharmacies, cash machines, and the bulk of the island’s restaurants are within easy scooter distance. The trade-off is road noise from Tran Hung Dao Road, which runs parallel to the beach.
Moving south, the strip quietens. Properties in the mid and southern sections get further from the night market but gain more space between buildings and less traffic hum. If you’re paying for peace, the mid-strip is where to look.
The beach itself is golden sand — consistent and swimmable from November through April. Outside those months, Phu Quoc’s rainy season brings rougher seas and periodic jellyfish, so pool quality matters more. Every hotel listed here has its own pool.
The Long Beach area guide covers geography, food, and who the strip suits. This guide picks up where that one leaves off — at the booking decision.
Value beachfront: under 2,500,000 ₫ (~$100)
Novotel Phu Quoc Resort
The Novotel is the standard-bearer for value on Long Beach — a 4-star international property with a proper beach section, two pools, and staffed sun lounger service. Rates run 1,350,000–2,550,000 ₫ ($54–102) depending on season, with breakfast frequently bundled in at the mid-range rates.
The distinguishing feature at this price is the activities: complimentary kayaking and paddleboarding, which most comparable brands charge 300,000–500,000 ₫ extra per session. The beach section is wide and relatively free of the jet-ski operators that crowd some northern stretches.
The resort sits about 10 minutes south of Duong Dong by scooter — practical for evening trips to the night market but calm enough that you’re not sleeping next to the road. For families watching the budget, the Phu Quoc family resorts guide has a fuller breakdown of what the Novotel offers for kids.
Best for: First-time visitors, families, anyone who wants an international brand name without paying luxury rates.
Skip if: You want a more intimate, boutique feel — 300+ rooms means it has resort-scale energy.
Seashells Phu Quoc Hotel & Spa
Seashells sits at the Duong Dong end of Long Beach, closer to the night market than most comparable properties. At 4-stars, it averages around 2,100,000 ₫ (~$84) per night with free breakfast included. The infinity pool overlooks the sea, the spa has a decent treatment menu, and the beach section is clean.
It’s a smaller operation than the Novotel — around 90 rooms — so the pool is quieter at peak hours. The drawback is location: it’s close to where Long Beach meets Duong Dong, which means more road activity outside the gates. Earplugs in a street-facing room are not optional.
Best for: Couples who want free breakfast and spa access without the big-resort crowd.
Skip if: Road noise is a dealbreaker — ask specifically for a sea-facing room when booking.
Sol by Melia Phu Quoc
Sol by Melia carries 5-star branding at rates that start around 1,425,000 ₫ (~$57) in low season — which makes it look like a steal on paper. In practice, it’s a resort aimed at younger guests who want a social atmosphere: three dining concepts, two bars, a beach club energy, and a lively pool scene.
If you want the quiet-resort experience, this is the wrong pick. If you want a beachfront 5-star with a lively bar programme at a price closer to 4-star, it delivers. The beach section on this stretch of Long Beach is solid.
Best for: Social travellers, groups, and anyone who’d rather have two bars on site than one quiet sun lounger deck.
Skip if: You’re after calm — the pool area here is not a retreat.
Mid-luxury: 3,000,000–7,000,000 ₫ (~$120–280)
Pullman Phu Quoc Beach Resort
The Pullman sits in the Duong To section of Long Beach — mid-strip, facing west for the sunset views the area is known for. At 5 stars, rates start around 4,325,000 ₫ (~$173) and climb to 7,000,000 ₫ ($280) in peak season. That’s a significant jump from the value tier, and it’s justified by two things: pool infrastructure and the spa.
The pool complex here is better than most properties at this price — multiple pools, a dedicated lap lane, and a sunbathing deck that doesn’t feel overcrowded even during high season. The in-house Vichy spa does a proper circuit of treatments, not just a hotel massage menu; the body scrubs using local ingredients are worth booking ahead.
The beach section on this stretch is a clean patch of Long Beach sand with staffed service. Sunset from the beach deck is reliably excellent — this is one of the stronger positions on the strip for the evening light.
Best for: Anyone who wants five-star pool and spa facilities without paying InterContinental rates.
Skip if: You’re on points — Pullman earns Accor points, but the redemption rate here is rarely competitive with direct booking deals.
Luxury: 3,675,000 ₫+ (~$147+)
InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort by IHG
The InterContinental is the flagship property on Long Beach. It has the rooftop bar that appears in every “Phu Quoc sunset” photo roundup — a useful reality check when comparing options. Rates start around 3,675,000 ₫ (~$147) for a standard room, with suites from 6,425,000–8,825,000 ₫ ($257–353). The beach section is properly private, the pools are large, and the resort has enough dining variety that you’re not forced off-site for every meal.
The IHG loyalty programme is one of the better reasons to book here over an independent luxury property. If you hold IHG One Rewards Platinum or Diamond status, the upgrades at this property are real — not the “here’s a corner room on the same floor” kind.
What the InterContinental does less well is the boutique-resort feel. At this scale and with this many guests, it runs like an efficient machine rather than a personal experience. If that trade-off doesn’t suit you, the adults-only resorts guide covers smaller properties with stronger service-to-guest ratios.
The airport transfer guide has current prices for the 10-minute taxi run from the airport to this part of Long Beach — budget around 150,000–200,000 ₫ by Grab.
Best for: IHG points holders, anyone who wants full-service resort infrastructure, corporate and conference bookings.
Skip if: You want intimacy over scale.
Premier Village Phu Quoc Resort
Premier Village is a villa-format 5-star resort on Long Beach under the Accor umbrella. Each villa is its own structure with a pool terrace, which effectively makes this a private-pool resort with beachfront access. It suits groups and families who want the space of a villa without renting a standalone property. The beach section here is wide and quiet.
Rates vary significantly by villa type and season — check directly, as the villa product makes comparison with per-room pricing complicated.

What Long Beach doesn’t have
JW Marriott: The JW Marriott Emerald Bay is not on Long Beach. It’s at Bai Khem on the south coast — a separate beach with genuinely finer sand, about 25 km from Duong Dong. Excellent resort, wrong guide.
True quiet isolation: If you want a property with no road noise, a handful of other guests, and forest backing onto the beach, you want Ong Lang Beach north of Duong Dong. The where to stay guide compares all four zones.
Budget guesthouses: Long Beach has them, but they’re mostly not beachfront. The budget guide covers options from under 600,000 ₫/night including some with reasonable beach access.
When to book
November to April (dry season): This is peak season. Book 2–3 months ahead for December and January; 4–6 weeks for November and March. The Pullman and InterContinental in particular sell out early for the Christmas–New Year stretch.
May to October (wet season): Rates drop 25–40% and availability opens up. Seas can be rough from June–September, making beach swimming unreliable — but every property listed has a pool. This is a good window if you’re price-sensitive and don’t mind the occasional heavy rain.
Best value window: November and early March. The dry season has started or is nearly over, rates haven’t hit their December peak, and the beach is in good shape.
