Vietnam Islands
Visit one of Vietnam’s islands and get away from it all, surrounded by nature. Lounge on palm-fringed beaches, gorge on fresh seafood, and go inland to explore trails, waterfalls, and caves. With plenty of options for budget, boutique, and luxury accommodations, a Vietnam island retreat is a great choice for any trip.
Cat Ba is Vietnam's most accessible island and a stone's throw from the enchanting, uninhabited islands of Halong Bay. Choose Cat Ba as your base to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and spend your days trekking to remarkable viewpoints and kayaking between the towering limestone karsts.
Or, fly out to the paradise islands of Con Dao and Phu Quoc and enjoy some of the country's most beautiful (and least visited) beaches.
The best places to visit in Vietnam Islands
Phu Quoc Island
Located in the glittering expanse of the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s very own island paradise. Neighbouring the similarly paradisiacal islands of Cambodia, Phu Quoc features long stretches of idyllic sand; dense untouched jungle, and a growing collection of mega resorts. But with over 221.6 square miles (574 sq km) of land, there is still a slice of island for everyone.
Con Dao Islands
Located nearly 62 miles (100 km) off the coast of southern Vietnam, the Con Dao islands are some of the most remote places you can travel in Vietnam. Boasting picture-perfect beaches and some of the most luxurious resorts in the country, Con Dao is a very special island getaway. Con Dao is an archipelago of 15 islands and the biggest, Con Son, was once a brutal penal colony. Today, it is a seldom visited but staggeringly beautiful collection of islands that likely won’t stay quiet for too long.
Cat Ba Island
White sand beaches, rugged mountains, and rural villages make up the 110 square miles (259 sq km) of Cat Ba Island. The largest among thousands of limestone islands in magnificent Halong Bay, Cat Ba is a popular overnight stop on traditional cruise itineraries. Visitors stay here to experience untouched jungles, star-lit skies, and a laid back atmosphere.
