History, culture and beach indulgence for a

full morning and early afternoon.

The southern part is home to the island’s

French-built Coconut Prison, An Thới

Harbour and Phú Quốc’s pride, the Pepper

Plantation and Fish Sauce Factory.

Your day starts with a visit to the Pearl

Museum, when you witness that magical

moment that a pearl-oyster opens and you

discover the secrets of how pearls form.

Phú Quốc is famed for its pepper and fish

sauce that awaits your discovery.

The 40-hectare French-built Coconut Prison,

now transformed into a museum, will take

you back to the war era and show how the

island has bounced back since then.

Finally, we save the best for last with an

afternoon lounge at Sao Beach – voted the

most beautiful and serene beach in Vietnam.

An Thới Harbour beckons with a steady

stream of fishing boats.

All you are expected to do is eat, drink, chill, repeat.

Come to Bãi Sao Beach for the natural beach wonder. And visit Paradiso for the extra wonders that make Bãi Sao exactly like paradise.

If you were thinking of powdery white sands, crystal clear sea water, calming waves, tree-lined shores & curving mountains that seem to exist for the sole purpose of ensuring your seclusion, then you will have to pardon us for intruding into your thoughts, for such a place does exist.

Bãi Sao, Vietnam's best beach. Perfect as it is. But even perfection still needs a few amenities on board.

Paradiso sits on the tail end of the beautiful shores of Bãi Sao, away from the maddening crowd. A beach club-restaurant offering simple yet welcome conveniences you will not find in any place on the strip – readily accessible sun beds, fresh clean towels, WiFi & easy listening music to lull you to sleep while you enjoy the calming sea breeze.

You might think with the seclusion, Paradiso could not possibly offer enough options for you to choose from. But let us assure you, with the varied modern local & international cuisines available, you could graze all day & still not have scratched the surface of what Paradiso has to offer.

Well-stocked with fresh seafood and other ingredients to whip up classic western cuisines, Paradiso offers delicious, yet affordable meals, complemented with refreshing drinks to enjoy as you take in the sight.
