A slower way to experience northern Phu Quoc at Sheraton Long Beach Resort

Northern Phu Quoc offers a quieter side of the island, where the forests of Phu Quoc National Park meet the coast and destinations such as Starfish Beach are within reach.

Rather than following a packed itinerary, travelers can combine nearby excursions with time by the sea, allowing each day to unfold at a more relaxed pace.

A leisurely breakfast can be followed by a walk beneath the forest canopy or an afternoon at the beach, while sunset offers a natural end to the day along the northwestern coast.

Travelers at the resort can enjoy experiences centered on the island’s food, nature, and local traditions.

Food is one way to explore Phu Quoc without rushing between destinations. Across the resort’s dining venues, Vietnamese and international chefs use local ingredients such as fish sauce, black pepper, and rose myrtle in dishes that combine island flavors with contemporary techniques.

Guests can also explore the island’s culinary and agricultural traditions through activities such as honey tastings at the onsite garden and bee farm, coconut harvesting, and locally produced cacao at Bittersweet Chocolatier.

A slower trip also leaves room for unplanned time.

Guests can explore northern Phu Quoc one day and spend the next by the beach, at the spa, or sharing a meal with family and friends.

Other options include a beachfront barbecue under the stars and seasonal resort activities, giving guests flexibility without requiring a tightly scheduled itinerary.

The resort’s “Stay Longer Save More” offer provides savings for guests who extend their stay, giving them more time to alternate between exploring the island and relaxing at the resort.

The resort provides a base for exploring nearby beaches, forests, and other attractions while experiencing local food and nature-based activities on the property.

Whether staying for a weekend or longer, travelers can shape their days around their own pace, moving between excursions, local experiences, and time by the sea.
