SUMMER IS HERE! LET'S GO TO PHU QUY
Summer is here! What could be better than a trip to explore Phu Quy Island - a pristine, peaceful but picturesque sea and island paradise.

As always, every time summer comes, people crave to go somewhere, leave the crowded streets, find the blue sea, white sand, and cool breeze, where you can just open your eyes and see the waves, hear the wind blowing close by.

If you are looking for a paradise with blue sea, white sand, a place peaceful enough to relax, but also attractive enough to explore and experience, then join MLifeOn to explore Phu Quy Island - a precious gem in the deep blue ocean of Vietnam.

Arriving at Phu Quy Island

As soon as the ship docked at Phu Quy, I took a deep breath, feeling the taste of the sea mixed with the wind, blowing through my salty lips. The sea breeze clung to my skin - a typical feeling when setting foot on the sea and island.

The sea and islands always give people a special feeling when they set foot there.

Located 120km from the mainland, in Binh Thuan province, Phu Quy Island has an area of ​​only about 16 km², but possesses beautiful natural scenery, with emerald green sea, fine white sand beaches and mesmerizing check-in corners.

Not as bustling as famous tourist destinations, Phu Quy fascinates people with its peace, where each gentle wave lapping the shore, each breeze carrying the salty scent of the ocean, all creating a relaxing space but still no less majestic.

Renting a motorbike, I drove around the small roads in Phu Quy, enjoying the strange peace of this place. On both sides of the road are rows of green trees, small houses nestled by the sea, all creating a simple but attractive scene.

Irresistible natural beauty

When mentioning island paradises, many people will probably immediately think of Maldives, Bali or Bora Bora. But there is no need to go that far, because right in Vietnam, you can also encounter such beautiful scenes in Phu Quy.

Each beach here has a special blue color with clear sea water, you can see all the way to the bottom, colorful coral reefs hidden under the water, along with long stretches of fine white sand, creating a perfect picture.

Some beautiful places not to be missed when coming to Phu Quy include:

Bai Nho - Ganh Hang

One of the most beautiful beaches of Phu Quy Island, where as soon as you set foot, you will immediately be overwhelmed by the beautiful natural scenery. The sea water here is always emerald green, so clear that you can see every small stone at the bottom. The steep cliffs embrace the beach, creating a wild but enchanting scene, like a picture of nature that is still intact, not touched by humans too much.

Hon Tranh

A small island near Phu Quy, but beautiful like paradise with wild landscape and turquoise water. Hon Tranh not only attracts tourists by the blue sea but also by its diverse ecosystem. The most prominent is the coral population, so there are times when, when walking on the beach here, you can easily see corals washed ashore.

Bai Lang 

Nestled on natural rocky shores, Bai Lang has a rustic yet attractive beauty. Not as large or prominent as other beaches, but the tranquility and pristine nature make this place an ideal getaway for those who love nature.

Watching the sunset at Bai Lang is a special experience that you should not miss.

I love the feeling of walking on the smooth sand, listening to the sound of the waves and enjoying the cool sea breeze. The space of Phu Quy island at this time is both gentle and romantic, making people's hearts lighter and more relaxed.

Why hesitate to go to Phu Quy?

Phu Quy is not only a destination, but also a feeling, an experience full of freedom, peace but no less attractive.

If this summer you are looking for an inspiring trip, a place with blue sea, white sand, a slow but attractive pace of life - then Phu Quy Island is the answer.

Whether standing on high cliffs, breathing in the cool breeze of the ocean, or immersing yourself in the clear blue water, feeling the coolness spreading throughout your body, I realize that I don't need to go far to have wonderful experiences. Because right here in Phu Quy, I can find all of those things.
