Top trending photo spots for Singaporeans to Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc’s allure lies in its diverse range of photo-worthy locations, from artistic beach clubs to serene fishing villages. Below are seven must-visit spots updated for 2025, each offering unique backdrops for your Instagram feed.

1. Sunset Sanato Beach Club

Located along Bai Truong, a 10-km stretch just 10 minutes from Phu Quoc Airport, Sunset Sanato Beach Club is a photographer’s paradise. This vibrant venue is famous for its unique installations, such as “flying elephants” and “jellyfish on the shore,” which have become social media icons. In 2025, the club introduced new photo corners, including a “stairway to heaven” extending into the ocean, ideal for dramatic sunset shots.

For the best photos, visit between 5:00–6:30 PM during the golden hour, when the sky glows with orange and pink hues. Flowy dresses or bohemian outfits enhance the beachy aesthetic, and a wide-angle lens captures the expansive installations. Pair your visit with a cocktail from the club’s bar for a vibrant shot. Sunset Sanato’s proximity to Phu Quoc Airport makes it an ideal first stop for travelers arriving from Singapore to Phu Quoc.

2. Hon Thom Cable Car

Hon Thom Cable Car has been one of Phu Quoc’s top trending photo spots. As the world’s longest sea-crossing cable car, this architectural wonder offers unbeatable aerial views of turquoise waters, fishing villages, and scattered islets.

At the Hon Thom terminal, you’ll find a Mediterranean-style plaza often nicknamed “mini Greece” for its white buildings, blue domes, and charming floral arches. In 2025, new Instagram-worthy features were added, from Grecian statues to pastel-colored stairways, drawing in travelers from around the world.

If you’re crafting a holiday from Singapore to Phu Quoc with a European twist and a touch of adventure, Hon Thom Cable Car is an absolute must.

Its iconic Bamboo Legend, a towering structure illuminated at night, and the adorable Teddy Bear Museum are Instagram staples. In 2025, Grand World introduced Urban Park, a contemporary art zone with colorful murals and interactive installations, perfect for group or solo shots. The night market’s lanterns and canals add a magical touch for evening photography. Entry to Grand World Phu Quoc is free, though specific attractions like the Teddy Bear Museum or the Venice River Gondola Tour require separate tickets.

Visit after 6:00 PM to capture the neon lights and bustling atmosphere. A tripod is ideal for long-exposure shots of the canals, and bold outfits stand out against the vibrant backdrops.

How to get around Phu Quoc Island

To get around on Phu Quoc, Taxis, both traditional (Vinasun, Mai Linh, etc.) and via apps (Grab and XanhSM), are the most convenient options.

Scooter rentals (150,000 – 200,000 VND/day) offer flexibility for exploring spots around Phu Quoc Island. You probably won’t need a driver’s license or other certification. Officially, however, to drive a scooter in Vietnam, you need a valid international driving license. This paper can be useful in the event of a police check and, especially, for insurance in the event of an accident. Also, never leave a valid travel document as a backup for your scooter. In the event of a problem, it would be very difficult to recover it. Always opt for a cash deposit.

You can easily buy a local SIM card upon arrival at the airport. Choose from major carriers like Viettel, Vinaphone, or Mobifone, with options for physical SIMs or eSIMs.

Master the Golden Hour: Shoot between 6:00 – 7:00 AM or 5:00 – 6:30 PM for soft, warm lighting. Sunset Sanato and Rach Vem shine during these times, with golden hues enhancing the scenery.

Choose the Right Outfits: Wear vibrant, flowy dresses for beach spots like Sunset Sanato to create a dreamy vibe. For Rach Vem fishing village, neutral tones (beige, white) blend with the rustic backdrop. Bold colors pop at Grand World’s neon-lit settings.

Edit for Impact: Apps like Lightroom or VSCO enhance Phu Quoc’s turquoise waters and greenery. Apply vibrant filters but avoid over-saturation. Adjust brightness and contrast for sunset shots to emphasize colors.
