Phu Quoc is a long island, and the main sights are at opposite ends: VinWonders and Grand World in the north, Sao Beach and the cable car in the south, the market town in the middle of the west coast. The quickest way to choose a base is to see how far each area is from the places you’ll actually go. The table below does that, using the distances Agoda gives for real hotels in each area.
For a shortlist of hotels right on the sand, see our Phu Quoc beachfront hotels guide. This page is about choosing the area.
The seven areas, measured
| Area | To Duong Dong Market | To Sao Beach | To Hon Thom cable car | To VinWonders | Airport (Agoda estimate) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duong Dong town | 0.1–1 km | 18–19 km | Not listed | 18–19 km | About 15 min | First trip, food, no car |
| North Long Beach | 1.3–3.8 km | 15.5–18 km | Not listed | 19–22 km | 10–20 min | Beach plus town |
| South Long Beach (Duong To) | 10.8–12.1 km | 8.1–8.5 km | Not listed | 28.7–29.4 km | About 15 min | Big resorts |
| An Thoi / Sunset Town | 21.3–21.6 km | 3.9–4.0 km | 80–340 m | 38.4–38.8 km | About 25 min | Cable car, Sao Beach, evenings out |
| Bai Khem | 21.8–24.6 km | 2.2–4.6 km | 2.4–4.4 km | 39.4–42.3 km | About 20 min | Resort stays |
| Ong Lang | 3.3–5.6 km | 22.5–24.8 km | Not listed | 13–15 km | 25–45 min | Quiet, small resorts |
| Ganh Dau (north) | 15.8–18.2 km | 34.6–37.1 km | Not listed | 0.1–2.6 km | 30–45 min | VinWonders, Safari, Grand World |
How the ranges work. Each range spans the hotels we checked in that area (listed below). Duong Dong Market is Agoda’s pin for the market area by the night market. Agoda only gives a cable car distance for hotels in the south, so the other rows say “Not listed”.
The pattern is clear. Nowhere is close to both VinWonders and Sao Beach: they’re 35 km or more apart by these figures. Plan a day trip to whichever end you don’t stay at. Getting between areas is covered in getting around Phu Quoc.

Duong Dong and north Long Beach: the first-trip base
Duong Dong is the island’s town, where you’ll find the market, the night market, Dinh Cau Rock and the fish sauce factories. North Long Beach runs south from it.

- Duong Dong town: Seashells is 130 m from the market.
- North Long Beach: Lahana is 1.31 km from the market, and Salinda 3.81 km.
- Both: the airport is 10 to 20 minutes away by Agoda’s estimates.

How we checked
- We pulled Agoda's public property data for 25 Phu Quoc hotels on 12 Oct 2026. The area table uses their listed distances to Duong Dong Market, Sao Beach, the Hon Thom cable car and VinWonders, plus Agoda's airport travel-time estimates.
- We grouped hotels by Agoda's own area or address, not by our hotel list's area tags. Some of those tags were wrong: Crowne Plaza Starbay, for example, is in Ganh Dau, not Long Beach.
- Every hotel ID was checked individually. Our hotel database has some Agoda IDs shared by several hotels, and none of those are used here.
- Every booking link was opened that day and matched to the right hotel ID. We didn't stay at these hotels.
